My Halloween candy buys fall into 2 categories:
What I like/wouldn't mind being "stuck" with,
What comes in small "serving" sizes.
My favs are the miniature Reeses cups, and Tootsie Roll Midgees. This year, however, I found Tootsie Roll Pop Drops and got a couple of bags of those. You get about 20 little bags of candy in the bag and inside are 3 or 4 cough drop sized Tootsie Roll Drops (think a Tootsie Pop, but without the stick). I've also started looking for candy that is peanut free...I'm not allergic, but some little kid might be.
