I don’t know honestly. I personally don’t care for them out of the package but they’re fun to open! I know all my kids love opening them, but although they don’t like them plain they love them crumbled on top of vanilla yogurt or ice cream. They’re so good on vanilla ice cream!

Could you offer those and candy? Just get a bag of something you or your family likes? I always have 2 bowls on Halloween.....one peanut and gluten free and one not.

I buy Tootsie Pops for me, and Butterfingers for my husband, among a couple other candies. Just in case we don’t get many trick or treaters.

Give out fortune cookies and candy, or your house might be labeled the odd house on the street.

I like that idea. It mixes it up a bit. They're gonna get a ton of candy, so if it's not their thing oh well, it's not like they'll be deprived of chocolate!

Anything "different" was something I enjoyed as a kid. It was always a thrill to go through my bag and see what kind of cool stuff people had thrown in besides candy. But kids today are spoiled little asses... so maybe they wouldn't enjoy those.

How do children know where they get each piece of candy. Here they go up to the house and the person drops the candy right in the bag. No one knows what house the candy came from.


Being "that" house would not be good for her children's reputation with their friends. No child wants their friends to think his parents are odd.

The trick or treaters see the candy bowl. They see the candy being dropped into the bowl. The fortune cookies won't look like Halloween candy. Most children look in their bags after each house. They'll know where they got the fortune cookies.

Only time mine ever knew what they got was when it was a full size chocolate bar or a can of pop. Other than that it was a simple thank you and move on to the next house.

Yeah, my kids sometimes got less exciting things like bookmarks or raisins, but they didn't dwell on it and note what house it was from. That just seems odd to me.
