You think I have enough candy?
That isn’t even all–there is at least one other big bowl not pictured here. My intention was to fill the little white Halloween bags with an assortment of goodies and be the house that gives those out but I couldn’t find the bags anywhere. So instead I just have a ton of candy.
But I still wanted to do something special for Halloween. So in addition to the massive amounts of candy you see here, I also decided to be the house that gives out full size candy bars.
I am not rich so I only have 60. I’m trying to figure out what my criteria should be for who should get the big candy bars. The first ones to arrive? Those that say trick or treat the cutest? Those with the best costumes? Let me know if you have any ideas.
Perhaps I went a bit overboard but trick or treating is fun. I remember one year I came home with my trick or treating bounty and proceeded to itemize all the candy I recieved. I wanted a record of what I had so I would know if my brother ate any of my Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I was a little crazy…looks like I haven’t changed much.
Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!
I present to you the Pumpknit…
This is my contribution to the Halloween arts. Plus, it won me a prize at work…don’t you just love holidays?
Now I have to go pass out obscene amounts of candy to children thanks to Erin. More knit blogging soon,…
You are the BOMB! I’ve never trick-or-treated a house where they gave out full-sized candy bars. You’re like a legend come to life!
There were a couple such houses when my own Mother was little… Once, we were trick-or-treating in my Grandad’s old neighborhood, and she pointed to one, saying: “those people used to give out nickel candy bars for Halloween”.
I was astounded these full-sized bars used to cost just five cents–in my day, they were fifteen.
This makes me so sad that I live in a neighborhood full of college students!
Sounds like you had an awesome birthday! I hope your Halloween was close to that good! I definitely saw some killer costumes tonight, little kids are so cute
And I’m sure you were the hit of the neighborhood, I always loved the houses that gave out full size bars.
We gave out full-size candy bars one year (because I waited until October 31st to buy candy and Smiths was cleaned out of the bags). The next year, we had TONS of kids; more than any other year before or after. So be prepared next year. Word gets around.
Can I come to your house! France doesn’t have a tradition of trick or treating and its quite sad that no one here understands the jackpot that is full-size candy bars. Cheers to you.

Wow, you would have definitely been my FAVORITE house when I was a wee trick-or-treater! Happy Halloween!
You are the candy QUEEN!! Matt’s boss hands out KING SIZE candy bars outside of their office. Everybody in Springville knows to hit Wing Ent. before it gets too late so you can cash in. Looks like your house was the jack pot!! I wish I could’ve taken my kids to your house this year. You guys are such a fun part of my Halloween memories. I’m glad that you are keeping on with the tradition and making fun memories for other people.
YOU guys ROCK!! Can I come to your house?? : D
