Duffy Brown's Blog: New Cozy Series - Posts Tagged "candy"

Okay, all the other neighbors will be giving out candy for Halloween so my thought is why not go rogue and out these healthy, non-candy ideas instead this year? Before you throw darts at me here are a few ideas that seem pretty cool.

What about these cool glowsticks? This are terrific and will keep the kids safe while they trick or treat and they can hang them on their bed when they get home to remember what great fun they had. Neat, huh!

And then there’s bubbles! I mean who doesn’t like to blow bubbles. I’ve seen adults blow bubbles for hours and fill the yard with them. Esp if I give them to the little kids who don’t eat candy. There are kids who don’t eat candy right?

What about these neat tattoos? They look great, wash off and don’t rot your teeth. Kids love tattoos. I think this is a winner...maybe.

And then there’s snack packs. Not exactly a nutritious meal but not all that sugar. What about a nice bag of fish crackers or potato chips?? Who doesn’t love a chip.

I love Halloween fun stuff like these fangs and lips. What about giving away these? A little fun that keeps on giving if you scare your mom the next morning. See, what a good idea.

Then there’s the fun pencils with cute erasers...what about that? A Star Wars pencil with light-saber eraser? Princess pencil with tiara eraser? Sounds like a winner to me.

So what do you think? Do I dare not give away candy and try this? Will I get my house egged? Would you like any of these if you were a trick-or-treater? Or do I just cave and give away Snickers like I always do?

Hi, Duffy Brown here and Halloween is just around the corner. I finally brought my candy because if I buy it too soon there is no candy left to pass out.
I love candy bars. I try to buy one that I don’t like but that doesn’t work as I like all of them except those almond joy thing but if I gave them out of Halloween the kids would egg my house for sure.
I have an assortment of Snickers, Hershey bars, Reese’s Cups, Skittles, Kit Kat. That should keep everyone happy. I told my daughter in NYC that as soon as the trick or treaters left I was dumping all the candy in a box and sending it off to her and get it out of my house!
I love passing out the candy maybe because I enjoyed going trick or treating so much as a kid. I remember coming back home with my cousin and BFF Barbie and we’d dump all our candy out in front of us and then start trading. Something like two Smarties for a Snickers was how it went.
After a week or so the good candy got eaten and the rest sat around till Mom tossed it out.
So what are you passing out to the trick or treaters this Halloween?
