| I love Hallowe'en. I take Charlotte out trick or treating with a couple of neighbours and their kids. A fun evening all round. |

I think it's as much fun, for the adults as for the kids..  |

| I want to make some old fashioned popcorn balls. They will have to be for family only though, as most parents don't want their young trick or treaters to have anything home made and that is understandable. |

I usually hand out those individual bags of microwave popcorn. The kids seem to like it enough, and if there's some left at the end of the night, it's
not extra candy in the house.
They get enough candy around the neighborhood.
Since where we live the houses are really close together, I usually end up with all my kids friends in the house, usually about 15 to 20 kids. A huge party!
Maybe some of those recipes will go to feeding the masses around here. |

I think alot of kids ( and parents) may prefer, something filling,and home cooked like Gingerbread or cheese cake, thats been made in a healthy way. Insted of tons of sugar filled candy,that would do them more harm than good.
Plus whatever is left over you can eat yourself, so no waste...  |
