How Many Adults Really Want to Get Candy for Trick -or-Treaters?

I was reading a post by @kaylachan about wanting to stop and get candy in case they get trick-or-treaters. This made me wonder how many people get the candy because they really believe they will have kids at the door on Halloween or just use it as an excuse to get some candy for their snack drawer. For me, it's 60/40. I get it mostly for snacks because I know we won't have many treaters. What are your thoughts? And, what's your favorite candy bar? For me it is the Caramello bar. What's yours?

When I was at the house I would do candy until it got dark and I had to make dinner. Here. . . nope. I'm at the 3rd floor so they aren't coming up here. I'm not big into candy but I'd go for a Special Dark bar.

At this house we never get any trick or treaters so I do not have to worry about it, I ate so much candy as a child I am not interesting in eating any now,

That's probably good then. We don't get any here but always have goodies.

We don't have trick or treaters here. The city banned it except for businesses downtown and city hall. Pretty and I go candy shopping the day after Halloween. I have to hide what I get for me because Pretty will take it if I don't. I prefer chewy candies, like Tootsie Rolls and taffy. I like Milky Way bars, too, but don't often buy them.

We don't either. Haven't for many years. I think it's because we have so many families from other countries living here now. We usually get in on the Halloween candy sales afterwards too. My grandson snatches mine too. I like Tootsie Rolls too and we just got some taffy recently and I forgot how good it is.

@celticeagle I buy the bag with 400 Tootsie Rolls and that lasts me for months.

Hubby insists on getting goodies. Last year we had about 20 kids show up. We have chocolate and wrapped store cookies ready to go.

I cannot remember the last time we had any treaters. It has been several years.

Kids do not go trick or treaters here. I do make up little bags for the kids that I know.

I never get any trick or treaters. When my hubby was alive, he would always get candy and eat it himself!!! I love chocolate oranges, 3 Musketeers and any type of jelly bean or jelly candy.
