What was your favorite Halloween candy as a kid and what was your favorite costume? Please share.
I loved dressing up as Wild Bill Hickok with my cap pistol and cowboy hat. Neighbors who handed out Peanut M & M’s were held in the very highest of esteem.
What about you? I’ll send a Halloween book to the person with the best story.

Of course I didn't actually have one, but that didn't matter, all was well. Thanks mom!

I bet I also had the strangest. Way back when you could trick or treet anywhere (40 yrs ago?) we were at Kure Beach visiting my grandparents who were fishing for the month. One man gave us bait shrimp to take with us because he forgot it was Halloween and didn't have any candy.

My favorite candy was Wax Nips (the juice in the wax bottle)

My favorite costume was not for trick or treating, but for giving out the candy. I built my own full-sized coffin out of plywood, put up a sheet across the garage and set up a backlight for a very eerie effect. My mom told kids to knock on the coffin and I lifted the lid and flashed fangs and gave them their candy. Scared a lot of kids with that. I was twelve.
