What was your favorite treat/treats you got for Trick or Treat. Mine was Mallow Cups. What was/were yours?

[debm55]

You can have more then one.

[woodsprite]

1. Reese's Peanut butter cups!

I just had to hide them from my brother if I wanted any.

[debm55]

4. Thank you woodsprite. Same here with my Mellow Cups

[Beatlelvr]

2. Snickers!

Milk Duds, Big Hunk. So bad for the teeth - lost a filling once.

[debm55]

9. thank you Beatlelvr, sorry about your fulling, Carmel does that. I lost a whole tooth as a kid, when I tried to flick a

milk dud out of my tooth

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

18. Snickers and Milky Way bars are the best!

[LakeArenal]

3. I liked the raisins!!

My mom was one that gave out the good stuff. Whole Hersey Bars etc.

So I had all that I wanted. So I tended to want the cheap stuff like a wrapped caramel. I include the raisins in that.
My bully brother always threw his boxes of raisins at me. So I ate them.

Red vines too.

[debm55]

12. Thank you LakeArenal. I never got raisins. Sorry about bully brother.

[LakeArenal]

92. Thanks. I'm totally over him.

[elleng]

81. That's what I gave, EASY boxes of raisins!

[LakeArenal]

93. I was happy to get them

[Bmoboy]

5. Hershey bar with almonds.

[debm55]

13. Thank you Bmoboy. Still like them.

[megahertz]

6. Do you mean Mallo Cups? With the marshmallow center?

[debm55]

15. Thank you megahertz. I don't see them any more.

[sinkingfeeling]

26. Debm55, you can still buy those. I get them at Tractor Supply.

[debm55]

29. Thank you sinkingfeeling. I want some,

[Arne]

7. The Mallo cups had tokens on the bottom like money.

I was totally addicted and our dentist approved.

[debm55]

17. Thank you Arne. I remember the cardboard with the coin printed on it. Did you every cash them in? I threw them away.

[Arne]

46. Yes, they were good for ... more Mallo Cups.

[debm55]

63. Oh nuts. I threw mine all away.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Turkish Taffy - lucky I kept my fillings

Also like Charleston Chew, Mint Juleps and Banana Splits. All variations on a theme, it seems.

[debm55]

19. C_U_L8R. did you smack the Turkish Taffy down on the table and break into tiny pieces? I liked strawberry flavored.

[C_U_L8R]

20. Yes. we'd freeze 'em, smack 'em, crack 'em and eat 'em.

Vanilla was my fave, followed by strawberry, but chocolate wasn't quite chocolate

[debm55]

30. Thank you, I like it,

[elleng]

82. YES Turkish Taffy and Charleston Chews!

[patphil]

10. I had 2: 3 Musketeer Bars, and Kit Kat Bars.

[debm55]

31. Thank you patphil. They are two of my favorites too.

[EYESORE 9001]

11. Heath bars

I thought they were the best as a child in the 60s, but I didn’t eat much candy after I became a teen, and something changed about the Heath bar. It didn’t taste as rich and complicated as I remembered. The texture was also less brittle, as the new candy was more chewy. I like crunchy, dammit. I’m sure corners were cut, like everything else, and they probably use corn syrup instead of cane or beet sugar. Haven’t bothered to check, as it’s so infrequent that do I think about candy at all.

[debm55]

33. Thank you EYESORE 9001, I like the brittle taste too. Haven't had one in a long time.

[maspaha]

14. Smarties!

Can not get enough!

[debm55]

34. Thank you maspaha. I don't think I had Smarties. But they must be good for you to like them so much.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

16. Hershey bars.

[debm55]

35. Thank you ProudMNDemocrat

[Diamond_Dog]

21. Any chocolate bar that was full sized, not that b.s. "fun size"

What’s “fun” about getting a wee little chocolate bar?

[debm55]

36. Thank you Diamond_Dog. I would agree when I was a kid, But now we give out the fun size.

[redstatebluegirl]

22. My Granny made us homemade popcorn balls

and caramel apples. I could not wait for Mom to take us to Granny's on Halloween!

[debm55]

37. Thank you redstatebluegirl. That sounds great.

[hlthe2b]

23. When I was really little, my sister & I got to go by ourselves (safe town) and saw a long line in front of a house

several blocks away... Well, of course we assumed it must be something really special (and to a kid, it was Manna from Heaven!

It seems the guy worked at Brach's and was giving each and every kid their very own full-sized box of Brach's Chocolate Covered Cherries! OMG.

[debm55]

38. Thank you Hlthe2b. WOW you hit the jackboat.

[Golden Raisin]

24. Mounds.

Also happy with Chunky's and 3 Musketeers.

[debm55]

39. OMG thank you Golden Raisin, I just thought of Chucky's with the nuts and raisins and wrapped in the silver paper, Be

Still My Heart.

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Milky Way bars

[debm55]

40. Thank you sinkingfeeling. Full size not fun size. YES!

[doc03]

27. Heath bar

[debm55]

42. Thank you doc03. Great bar.

[Raven123]

28. Mounds Coconut

[MaryMagdaline]

44. Yum!

[debm55]

67. Thank you, Raven123. Enjoy.

[Freddie]

32. I'm guilty of going through my grandkids' Halloween bags

I know they don’t like coconut. Mounds bars are mine! I’ll also swipe the Milk Duds, Hershey Almond and Twix. They can keep the peanut butter cups and Snickers.

[debm55]

66. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Thank you Freddie for your very honest answer.

[rubbersole]

41. Mallow Cups had little reward cards that you could redeem for a free cup.

I ate so many that I'm surprised I made it to 15. Thanks for bringing back that memory!

[debm55]

69. Thank you rubbersole, I didn't know what they were for and tossed mine all out

[MaryMagdaline]

43. Snickers

[debm55]

70. Thank you MaryMagdaline. Do you buy the candy you like? so if there are any extras you get to have????

[MaryMagdaline]

73. Always!

[debm55]

78. Us too.

[Shermann]

45. A handful of candy corn

Wait, I thought this was a thread about least favorite treats. Never mind.

[debm55]

54. HAHAHAHAHAH, Shermann take to other thread. Unless you like them,

[LogDog75]

47. Mine was M&Ms

We'd get a regular size bag of M&Ms but now they're the "Fun Size." Kids today settle for less because they don't know how good we had it.

[debm55]

49. Agree thank you LogDog75 and welcome to DU. I like M&M peanuts. You get the fun back and there is mostly 5 in a bag.

[FuzzyRabbit]

48. Tootsi Rolls and Toosie Pops

I liked the chewyness (is this even a word?)

[debm55]

59. Thank you FuzzyRabbit. and enjoy.

[MiKenMi33]

50. Caramel apples and slo poke suckers.

[debm55]

60. Thank you MikenMi33, I remember both. Enjoy.

[underpants]

51. Matches

[debm55]

64. Did someone give that to you from the other thread. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH. thank you underpants,

[livetohike]

52. Heath Bars and Almond Joy with Reese's Peanut

Butter Cups as a third choice. Would trade for any of those three .

[debm55]

71. Thank you livetohike. I enjoyed both.

[happybird]

53. Milky Way (full-sized preferred lol)

Tootsie Rolls. There were also vanilla tootsie-roll type candies in a white and silver wrapper with blue writing. Yum!

[Shermann]

57. Full-size candy bars are generous indeed

I hand out the fun size bars but throw handfuls in the bags. If my supplies start to run out, I can do more conservative amounts to stretch them. Then the lights go out.

[debm55]

72. Thank you happybird. I enjoyed the full sized bars. All they have in the store is the fun size and they are gone in one

bite.

[leftieNanner]

55. Long time ago

We had a Danish neighbor who baked incredible fresh butter cookies. My mom would go with us to that house!

We also went to Willie Mays house once. He gave out full size Hershey bars!

[debm55]

74. Thank you leftieNanner. Those are some finds --fresh butter cookies and full size Hershey bars.

[Bristlecone]

56. Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Mounds, Reese's

Not in that order

[debm55]

62. In any oreder they are good. Thank you Bristlecone.

[HeartsCanHope]

58. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Zero Bars!

[debm55]

61. Thank you HeartsCanHope, I remember both. Enjoy.

[HeartsCanHope]

68. Can't have either anymore. I take a medication that doesn't allow soy. But I can remember them!

[debm55]

75. Sorry HeartsCanHope, But you still have your memories.

[ProfessorGAC]

65. Reese's & Snickers

Twix didn't exist when I was a kid, or I would have said that.

[debm55]

77. Thank you ProfessorGAC, I agree. But couldn't you, um, borrow from your kids? Just joking.

[ProfessorGAC]

80. Not A Problem

We buy Twix, Snickers, Milky Way & KitKat for Halloween giving. (Plus, the little bags of various kinds of chips)

There's always good stuff left over. I can wait until November 1st!

[debm55]

86. TY we buy the candy we like so we can eat the leftovers. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH

[Ocelot II]

76. Chocolate stuff of any kind.

[debm55]

89. IThank you Ocelot II my first love was a BUN bar with a mable center. My mouth is watering. No longer around.

[gay texan]

79. Those peanut butter things in

Black and orange wrappers

[debm55]

90. Thank you, I like them too.

[LoisB]

83. I guess it would have to be tootsie roll pops and/or York peppermint patties.

[OldBaldy1701E]

84. Tootsie rolls and Bit O' Honey! (n/t)

[debm55]

94. Thank you OldBaldy1701E, Loved the treats you got.

[electric_blue68]

85. Hersey's Special Dark* (Chocolate), Mounds, Butterfingers...

*I think between this particular Hersey Bar, and the occasional dark chocolate candy from a box of chocolates my parents would receive as gifts; is where my addiction 😄 er, love of dark chocolate began! ☝️

Then way later by the time the first Lindt Chocolate Store opened on 5th Ave (NYC) w 72% cacao bars, and the higher end European Chocolate that begins w a "T" we'd get from an older cousin...Good Times! Now there's 85%, and 90%, too!"

[debm55]

87. Sounds great. Lucky you, we buy our "chocolate" from the super market.

[electric_blue68]

88. Oh, so do I, and Walgreens. The Lindt store was a special treat, bc a lot European (the darker) chocolates weren't...

that available back then!

[Different Drummer]

91. Sugar Daddy

I wish I had some right now!

[debm55]

95. Thank you Different Drummer. I remember them. Never got the sucker I got the little duds.

[debm55]

105. Yes we were given money and I would put it in my sock bank. One family gave a quarter. Always went to them.

[Jrose]

104. I was crazy about caramels, licorice and cracker jacks...

which probably funded my dentist's air fare and vacation trips for years!

[debm55]

106. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thank you Jrose. I like your choices but loved red licorices.
