I love Halloween. I love the colors, the fun decorations and candy. It’s fun to see what people come up with for their costumes. I really like the home made creations like when a kid wears a box that they make look like a tv. This year I saw some very good pirates, a few cheerleaders, some goblins and one really odd looking smily face….I just love it!   I don’t know if Halloween Candy melts..here when kids go Trick or Treating…….maybe the candy does melt…..?…….wow that would suck! This year they predicted the weather to be around 92 degrees F for Halloween. I don’t think it got that hot because it felt more like the mid 80s……but we did have a recording breaking  HOT  October and had most of the days at 90 degrees or above.

Halloween 2014 I gave out 92 Full Size Candies

Halloween 2015 I gave out 121 Full Size Candies

Would I give out less candy for Halloween 2016 since it runs on a Monday school night this year instead of a weekend????????

I am very stocked up on candy and I threw in a few packs of seaweed to see if anyone would take seaweed over the candy just for fun.

Well The Monday Night didn’t seem to affect the number of children out on Halloween. 2016 I gave out 124 pieces of full size candy. I do note a few little monsters did grab two pieces.

This year I gave out 50 Pixy Stix (children were screaming when I ran out)

25 Hershey Bars

9 Candy Necklaces

7 Snickers

7 Plain M&M’s

5 Peanut M&M’s

4 Skittles

4 Twix

4 Milky Way

3 Three Musketeers

3 Starburst

3 Packs of Seaweed (The few children that took seaweed screamed with joy)

It seems that Pixy Stix (large sticks that hold flavored sugar) is a favorite candy by far for the majority of American Children.

P.S. Since moving to Arizona I no longer dress Dogs for Halloween. It’s too hot in Phoenix AZ to dress a dog up for Halloween.
