Last year I got a mix of mostly chocolates, and some other candies I considered filler. When I let the kids choose I noticed they didn't choose the chocolate, but I don't remember what they chose.
I probably gained three pounds.
Please, what should I buy that the kids will like?
I mean, it doesnβt really matter as long as you can still fit the razor blades and hypodermic needles in them, right?
We give out juice boxes. Theyβre surprisingly popular. Trick-or-treating is thirsty work. Sometimes, even the adults who are with the kids ask for a few.
We donβt have too many kids come by, so this doesnβt bankrupt us.
Kids will eat just about anything sweet or trade it in school if they are picky.
Buy the candy you don't like let the playground black-market figure the rest out.
Candy is expensive this year. We just went with most weight and pieces with the lowest price. BA ha ha ha
I 3D print toys and then just buy whatever chocolate type candy bag at the store. We usually have a ton of kids and have become the popular house
I hand out pop.
They want gummies. Just⦠gummies, everywhere.
Candies are basically divided into 2 categories: chocolate and fruit. I know there are some exceptions but in reality most candy can be placed in one of 2. Sounds like your neighborhood likes fruit based so skittles, gummy worms, stuff like that.
Also consider avoiding peanut/nut based candies since lots of kids are allergic. If you live in a hot climate chocolate might not be popular cause it melts. M&M's are your go-to if you need a choco option.
Me, I like chocolate over fruit snacks. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy some quality artificially flavored fruit chewies but I'll always grab M&M's over skittles.
Don't forget the bastard candies: twizzlers, wax lips and smarties.

I agree with the other poster who said candy basically breaks down into fruity or chocolatey. Nerds and Starburst have been wildly popular in my neighborhood. This is also going to depend a lot on local tastes.
