since most people give out candy, I'll probably give out stuff like wrapped crackers, small bag of chips, bag of peanuts, cheetos, bluberry breakfast biscuits.
We live in a semi rural area with lots of vacant land so most of the kids do not go door to door. They trick or treat at the malls and the church parking lots. There are a lot of churches including ours that do Thunk or treat. People will go to the church and pass out candy from the car. Some of the churches have entertainment as well. Ours does. I miss seeing the kids, but do think the Trunk or treat idea is a good one.
My granddaughter was with me when I purchased the trick-or-treat candy and she nixed all my choices (Mounds Bars, Snickers, Milky Way) saying "kids don't like those." She chose: Nerds
Kit-Kats
Starburst Fruit Chews
Fun Dip (like the old Lik-m-Aid, but you apparently dip a fruit chew thing into fruity powder)
I would have bought M&M's too but all they had were peanut and the voice of authority told me kids hate them too.
I am literally LOL'ing at some of these responses!!! There's a thread where someone asked about giving out non-candy. So many people got twisted about their kids not getting a piece of candy. My daughter comes home with over 2 pounds of candy. A piece of non-candy isn't going to make her swear off Halloween or get all pouty LOL
I'm debating on buying anything because in the past 6 years since we've lived in our house, I think we got trick-or-treaters 3 times, which means we're stuck with a basket of candy. I try to get stuff we don't like to eat, such as gummy body parts but I have to admit, they're tasty.
Murphy's Law--if I don't buy, they will come in droves. If I do buy, I won't see a single kid.

One year when my daughter went trick-or-treating, the very first house we went to was a young woman who was on her way out and she wasn't going to be home for the trick-or-treaters so she gave my daughter her entire bag of Kit Kats. I thought my daughter was going to pass out, as those are her favorites (next to Reese's Peanutbutter Cups). She turned to me and said, "We can go home now". We literally went to maybe a dozen homes (not all answered) and she wanted to stop. She had all she needed lol
I don't know any kids, including my daughter, who like Peanut M&M's. Your granddaughter is a smart girl

Peanut M&Ms are my favorite. You can send any your kids don't want to me!
I bought two bags of assorted mini candy bars--things we don't really like so we won't eat them. They're out in the car so we won't eat them. Every time we go out in the car, we eat them.
Too funny. I bought lifesaver gummie candies cause I don't really eat those things. I ate them.
