I urge you all to implement my Halloween two-bowl system. You have your tier one candy in one bowl and then a secondary bowl with tier-three, or non ranked candy. You get something regardless, but your treat depends solely on you, the enthusiastic trick or treater.
The secondary bowl is for the following: people clearly too old for trick or treating, anyone not in costume or with street clothes and a little paint on their face (booo), anyone who bum-rushes the little kids on the porch; people who just grunt and who fail to utilize the customary greeting (trick or treat); and teenagers who think they are entitled to the primary bowl yet put in little to no effort into the costume. The good stuff goes to the little ones, the older kids who show some enthusiasm in the costume and trick or treaters who still embrace manners and old school methods of Halloween celebration.
Sadly, my secondary bowl was empty long before my first bowl this year.

I am all over the Kit Kat voting. Whoever handed those things out to me usually got a return trip and not for the usual T.P. for rasins or weird spider rings that did little more than cut your finger if you put them on.

Let’s not forget the Annabel treats, those are the one the parents ask their kids to grab at my house: Big Hunk, Look and Abba Zabbas. Tier 1 in my neighborhood.

Wow, I am so glad to know that I am in the “tier 1″ section of the passer -outter. I’m a little disapointed to hear that Whoppers didn’t make tier one…but whatever. ) Kit-Kat & Twix should MOST definitely be a tier one candy, and what about Bazooka (sp?) gum..?? those were always fun, right? However, I have to admit, that right now on my nightstand I have Reese’s peanut butter cups and TWIZZLERS!! YUMMM… (YES, I stole it from my cauldron) ) Happy Halloween to everyone! PS – does anyone else remember all the “elderly” folks that gave out pencils, and hallowen erasers and misc. halloween games?? YIKES.

Nobody has mentioned TWIX bars…definitely 1st tier. Also, I second the kit-kat bar. I’m all about the chocolate/cookie combination.

Not on the list but my childhood’s best treat: Goo-Goo Clusters from Standard Candy Co. in Nashville, Tennessee.

From my childhood it has to be SweetTarts! I’d get my Nancy Nurse doll out and play doctor all day; I’d challenge my older sister to see who could make their’s last the longest; I’d trade with my cousins for the messy chocolates!
But from the freezer – it has to be Snickers!!!
