Default What to you give as Halloween candy?

I'm just curious what everyone gives away as Halloween candy/treats and if anyone has a good inexpensive idea that the kids seem to like alot?

We give the regular mini candy bars. I usually pick them up when I see them on sale. The thing that saves us the most is that we don't need to buy near as big of a supply as we did years ago. There just not as many trick-or-treaters that come by these days.

We give the mini candy bars as well. I got two coupons for them and will buy them this weekend. We don't get many trick or treaters either cause we live in the country, but I like to keep them on hand for lunches after halloween.

All the kids from my area go to the mall crawl now where parents know the candy is safe. We also live on a busy road which keeps kids from coming to our house.

I buy bags of the mini candy bars when they're on sale as well. Last year we missed most of the kids because trick or treating time in my city is regulated to happen between 5-7. Unfortunately, I don't get home until 6:30, and we didn't know about the regulation last year (new to the area) so we missed most of the kids.

I live in a developement and we got a ton of kids. I do the mini candy bars which ever is the cheapest. I try to buy them last minute because I don't want to eat them.
