Parents- which Halloween candy are you most likely to sneak out of your kids' candy bag?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) November 2nd, 2010

I sneak the Junior Mints and my hubby sneaks the Reeses Cups.

Which candies do you find yourself stealing from your kids’ Halloween bags?

I’m not a parent, but friends and family should beware of me if they have Reese’s peanut butter cups! Mwhahaha!!!

If my mom steals my reese’s I’ll go bananas…. I wish.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Ah, Reeses. I sigh and tremble at the mere thought. <sighing and trembling>

I’m not a parent nor a petty thief…I just wanted to share my pain. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. I haven’t had any candy for the past 2.5 weeks.

I’ll trade you all my Reese’s (and there are a lot of them) for your Almond Joys and Health Bars.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@wundayatta : Oh, we are a perfect match! Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! You picked two I can’t stand!

mrlaconic's avatar

Tootsie Rolls! Drool

Seaofclouds's avatar

Normally it would be Reese’s, but right now, I’m craving sweetarts and anything similar to those.

My daughter is almost 23, sooo…no Halloween candy to sneak these days. lol

BUT..when she was really small her dad & I always took the bulk of the chocolate and she was never the wiser. The jig was up by the time she was 5 or so. haha

JilltheTooth's avatar

@Seaofclouds : Can i have your Reeses til Nimbus lets you have them again?

Seaofclouds's avatar

@JilltheTooth Sure! My son won’t even notice that they are gone. :-)

Mini Snickers, Twix and Kit Kat bars. Swedish Fish and Hershey’s kisses.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Akua Ooooohhhhh…. Twix…................

mollypop51797's avatar

I’ve got a list here, but I’ll just name a few. Kit Kat bars, Snickers, Crunch bars, 3 Musketeers, Almond Joy, BabyRuth, York peppermint patties! yum yum!! Come to think of it, halloween is probably one of the worst holidays for me! I buy loads of candy, not all of which is used, and I end up eating the candy my kids get from trick or treating!

janedelila's avatar

Oh @wundayatta those are also my absolute favorites! You know, we could just go to Sam’s Club, buy in bulk, sit in front of the tv, and have a coconut toffee almond festival!

YARNLADY's avatar

Mostly the Hershey’s and other chocolate – minus Reeses, which I don’t like.

Joybird's avatar

I swip the jawbreakers first and then the Three muskateers bars. I became allergic to peanut butter in my early forties but before that Reeces used to be my first choice.

Blondesjon's avatar

Snickers and Milk Duds.

did i mention tootsie rolls?

JilltheTooth's avatar

Oh, @Joybird , let me take those dangerous Resses away so you’ll feel safe. I have your back.

Coloma's avatar

SIGH

I have to discontinue with this question, I am candyless and somehow Lemon Sorbet is just not doing it for me right now. lol

Fred931's avatar

I’ll just go out and buy a $5 bag of sour candy at Walmart. It’s not like I gain any weight from eating.

wundayatta's avatar

@janedelila Well, you could knock me over with a feather. I have no idea what to say. My jaw is picking lint up off the carpet. What an idea! I don’t know whether to jump into your arms, or hop aboard the first rocket to Mars.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@wundayatta: don’t forget I loved you first…and drop the Reeses off at my house before you leave the planet, K?

wundayatta's avatar

@JilltheTooth Don’t worry. The Reese’s are in the male.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Is the male on his way here? Is he attractive? And why did you let him eat my candy?
And if that was a typo and you edit it, I will look foolish which will cause me to stamp my feet and pout. Which will cause the dog to bark. Cascade effect, don’t risk it.

wundayatta's avatar

Oh my! Look at that! Bad Wundy!

I don’t know how that got by me, @JilltheTooth. Normally I catch all my typos. ;-)

Do watch out for the male man. I’m sure you will enjoy the treats he is bringing you!

Oh gag! Have I stooped so low? Can it be? Look what you made me do! I blame you, @JilltheTooth. You’re a trouble maker, you are!

JilltheTooth's avatar

I aim to please!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@JilltheTooth and @wundayatta Wait, wait… I can haz chocolate AND a male? Be still, my beating heart!

JilltheTooth's avatar

I’m on my way over!

wundayatta's avatar

Oh dear. What has I dun? Confunzzlating resounds. I tink I gotta go over to @WillWorkForChocolate‘s to set things straight. Note to self. Bring more chocolate.

rpm_pseud0name's avatar

I just got back from the dentist. I am feeling rebellious & hungry. Now – all of you hand over your KitKat bars if you don’t want me to bite you with my clean, cavity free teeth.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@wundayatta We gotz da chocolate. You bring da male.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate : He can’t. He sent da male to me. Now I got da male.

wundayatta's avatar

Ladies, ladies. Don’t worry. I have another envelope!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@wundayatta Good answer, I might have had to hurt you…

wundayatta's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate I can assure that I am much more enjoyable company unhurt. When I’m hurt, I whine something fierce!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Ok then, I promise not to hurt you. Does biting count?

wundayatta's avatar

Only if it’s not on my neck. I should point out, too, that there are two sides to my neck where biting is permissible.

Hmmm, I wonder if that scene would make the Twilight movies?

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Sweet! So, when are you coming?

JilltheTooth's avatar

I have dibs on a neck side!

wundayatta's avatar

Ah, you ladies are being so good for my ego, which could really use a boost these days.

So, I’m on my way over, but I thought I’d stop at the liquor store on the way, and was trying to decide which goes better with chocolate—a nice whiskey, or Scotch or maybe some warm brandy?

By the way, my neck—both sides—is quite tingly at the moment. I’m having quite a time trying to decide who will choose the right side and who the left. Well, all in good time, I suppose. Now, where did I put that GPS? No matter. A real man never asks for directions….. sometimes I so totally crack myself up! We are still talking about Halloween candy, right? ;-)

JilltheTooth's avatar

And we watch, bemused, as @wundayatta spins out of control! ;-)

janedelila's avatar

@JilltheTooth @wundayatta Hey! Pick me up on the way!! I got candy, brandy, a male somewhere around here…lemme look…and I’m bringing my best teeth too

JilltheTooth's avatar

@wundayatta : Better dust off that third neck side, @janedelila will be in the house!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Hey hey hey! The more the merrier, right? Where’d I put those handcuffs?

wundayatta's avatar

Hey, hey, yourself! I don’t think handcuffs will be necessary. I think we’re all ready, willing and able. I mean, I know I am!

Yah. My neck. Good thing it’s round. It has an infinite number of sides. But don’t go getting any ideas. I may be able, but there is a limit.

What? What’s that you say? Oh shoot! The nice lady on the GPS said I was supposed to turn back there. You guys got me all distracted. The next turn ain’t for 98 miles. I may be a while. ‘Less you want to send the helicopter. Hmmm. Brandy, women and chocolate in a helicopter? Could be interesting. I wonder if helicopter pilots are like limousine drivers.

This Halloween is turning out to be more interesting than expected ;-)

JilltheTooth's avatar

We just want to make sure you have something to be thankful for in 3 weeks. If you last that long.

janedelila's avatar

Found the male! He was in…..the Male Box!!! heh heh heh
