I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

Damn, we recently got a house too. And I bought two large bags of candy.

In the beginning, I didn't think a lot was gonna come. So dm the first few groups I gave a handful of candy to.

More avd more showed up, and I eventually ran out. Had to tell a bunch of kids we were out, but I couldn't take it anymore and ran to the store to get two more bags.

Handing tid batch out with a bit more care, but it didn't matter, we eventually ran out of this too.

This is a very walkable neighborhood though

Next year I need more....
