What Do You Give Out to Trick or Treaters?
So…spill it moms! What do you give out to trick or treaters? Do you pass out the good stuff or the stuff the kids roll their eyes at??? LOL!!! Did that sound harsh? I hope not!! But you know EXACTLY what I mean!! Even as a kid yourself, you knew which houses to hit because they passed out the good stuff. I’m also one of “those” moms. The moms who raids the candy buckets for the “good stuff” after kiddo goes to bed. Shhhh!!!
It’s always fun to see what other moms have to say, so make sure to leave a comment below or chat with us on social media using the hashtag #MomsCheckIn and find out more about who the moms of “Moms Check In” are.
Ohhh, and heads up, next Thursday (10/16) from 1-2 PM we will be having a Twitter Party with UNICEF and HSN! There will be some pretty amazing prizes – over $300 worth! Be sure to RSVP here! #EasyToGive #UNICEF will be the hashtags used, so make sure to follow along on Twitter!
Oh yeah! Here’s what our #MomsCheckIn moms hand out to their trick or treaters!
I go for the good stuff! But honestly, it’s probably more for selfish reasons than anything. I buy lots of candy “just in case” which really means so when we don’t use it all I can claim it. I’m a big fan of Kit Kats, Twix and Milky Way. YUM!! 🙂

We give out candy, and sadly it’s usually candy that I like so I munch on it before Halloween…which usually means I need to go buy another bag before the trick-or-treaters get here. You’d think I’d learn my lesson, but apparently not. Those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups just cannot be denied!

When I was a kid it was a big deal to get mini chocolate bars for trick or treat so that’s what I give out. I may or may not have to sample a few of them.

Did you know that while your child is out collecting candy this year that they can be helping to save the lives of children around the world? Trick or Treat for UNICEF started in 1950 as a way for kids to help kids. Since then, children have taken UNICEF collection boxes (you can get one for free here) with them trick or treating collecting change for this amazing cause!
Since 1950 children have raised over $170 million dollars while trick or treating!
This year UNICEF has made fundraising even easier! In addition to taking the iconic boxes with you while trick or treating you also have the option of creating an online fundraising page. In just a few seconds, you can set up a Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF fundraising page to share with friends and family. The money you raise will help save and protect children by providing clean water, nutritious food, lifesaving vaccines and more. Because some kids need more than candy.
