The two full candy buckets are for girls to eat on before Trick or Treat and then they take them home with them. We have two empty trick or treat pumpkins for them to use to trick or treat with. They usually just come back here after trick or treat to pick up their full buckets. When we were kids we used to get tons of good candy when we trick or treated but now days many people dont treat at all or give next to nothing. The kids can trick or treat for hours and hardly have enough to cover the bottom of their pumpkins.
I filled their buckets full of lots of their favorite chocolates. They love reese cups, reese pieces and hershey bars.

I understand and that is so special, but we have gone downhill since the economy is so bad. Years ago, I had to take not one but sometimes three buckets for my son, now he barely fills one bucket, he gets so frustrated with so many locked doors, that he decides to come home. These are also my husband/son favorites reese cups, reese pieces and dark chocolate hershey bars. I like chocolates with lots of nuts.

My father in law loves chocolates with nuts. Giada De Laurentiis was making a candy the other day with caramel, chocolate and smoked almonds. I will have to make those this Holiday season.

I just made a batch of the brownies I posted with the reese cups and chocolate chips in them. Soo good! My little sis hasnt been feeling good so I want to make her a bunch of treats to take home Thur just for her. Peanut butter brownies, buckeye brownies and some peanut butter fudge.

My hubby likes when I make dark fudge brownies/cream cheese on top it is to die for, the cream cheese keeps the brownie moist and absolutely delicious, you should try it.
