Oh I hated getting apples or a stack of 5 nickels or anything like that. Just ruins the whole experience.

Wrap enough caramel around garlic cloves to make it look like the caramel drops - wrap in clingy plastic.

Give to kids ... and rejoice. The look on their face when they bite into it will be priceless.

i vote for that devilishly good moonajuana. of course, you gotta disguise it. that, or put it in candies that the kids wont eat and obviously the parents would and will take from their kids. and get the parents high. that'd be fun. :D

Candy for good costumes.

Circus peanuts for the bad kids.



I remember getting a minicalculator for Halloween one time. Not sure if that was the weirdest thing.

I've started giving full sized candy bars, I figure if they kids think I'm "Those cool people who give us full size candy!" they won't egg my house.

Maybe it's flawed logic, but I didn't get egged last year! :)

Corn is more expensive than other vegetables. Get the $0.15 can of pinto beans.

Or even better, give them ears of corn. That would be awesome.

hey man,

I told my friend about your idea. She made a chocolate-covered batch last night and confirmed that they are indeed quite horrendous. She covered them in cocoa powder to mask any garlicky smell too.

She's a chemistry teacher and she's giving them to her class as we speak!!!

I will post later with updates!!
