After the first kid, it started raining, so knowing that would lower the turnout, I started giving two candy bars to each kid. I count what I have before and after the evening's activities, and so I know I had 73 kids visit this year. The average is normally around 100.

I did have a lot leftover, but since I normally pack some of those "fun size" bars for snacks during my union-mandated breaks. they will not go to waste. Hey, they're under 100 calories each and they keep me out of the vending machines.

I always make a point of giving out real candy bars, Snickers, Milky Way, and 3 Musketeers, because I remember the heartbreak of getting home and having an awful lot of those tiny Dum-Dum pops, or Smarties. Or even worse, 6 cents in change. I even take the day off from work.
