I’ve got my fingers crossed for 100 Grand Bars

October 31, 2008 | Filed in: Ask Teh Internets, Little Monkeys, Pictures

May your Halloween be filled with many a 100 Grand minibar and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup!

Happy Halloween!

What’s your favorite Halloween candy? What’s the worst thing you ever got from a neighbor while trick-or-treating?

(I got an apple once. I threw it in the lady’s yard. I mean, REALLY…an apple??? Sheesh.)

******

Here at Playgroups are no place for children, in honor of my TWO! YEAR! blogging anniversary and in honor of NOT participating in NaBloPoMo (you’re welcome!), November is going to be Reader Appreciation Month. I’ve got FANTASTIC giveaways lined up for you all! I’m so excited I can hardly keep from peeing my pants!

Woo hoo!! Congrats on two years! you go girlie!!

That picture is fabulous. I think that I would like some kit kat bars and the kiddos, well they aren’t picky.

I’m hoping my kids get lots of Almond Joys. They’ll happily hand them over to Mom.

My kids are hoping for ‘kitty cat bars’ and Nestle Crunch and Mike and Ikes.

Mom24@4evermom´s lastest post..Happy Halloween!

My kids get a mini bag of microwave popcorn every year from the same house. They LOVE it, and so do it. So cute.

That picture is just about one of the cutest Halloween photos I’ve ever seen!

The British don’t really do Halloween, so this expat family will be living vicariously through you.

It’s quite sad really. My son had so much fun trick-or-treating last year.

Please eat lots of Snickers for me.

GHD´s lastest post..From Two to Thirteen… Overnight

Favorite? Eh, most chocolate bars, candy corn, even that taffy stuff with the peanut butter in it!

Least favorite? I know there is some candy I hate but can’t think of any off the top of my head.

Suckiest treat ever? I can’t say I got any really horrid ones though my ex’s grandmother would give out pennies if she ran out of candy until we told her that kids wouldn’t appreciate it…

May your Halloween be Happy!

Great photo, by the way
GHD´s lastest post..From Two to Thirteen… Overnight

Mmmm, I love me some Snickers. I don’t remember getting anything really bad - but I was never a fan of hard candies.

I’m participating in NaBloPoMo for the first time and I have no idea how I’m going to do it. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for Reader Appreciation Month - that’s a great idea!

catnip´s lastest post..Happy Halloween!

That is such a great photo!

Two hours of trick or treating last night and NO 100 Grand bars!! I’m out of my mind! I may also be hopped up on Milky Way bars, but that’s a detail. I was counting on the 100 Grands!

foradifferentkindofgirl (fadkog)´s lastest post..ouija think was gonna happen?

Actually, I am a big fan of Wonka Bars ( chocolate and grahm cracker chunks ). The worst candy I got was either burned peanut brittle or that cheap foil wrapped candy that goes for 100/$1. Uggghhh, that’s crappy stuff.

Knot

mr. goodbars and butterfingers. oh and baby ruth. can’t leave off the chick o sticks.

i can get none of these here. which is okay, helps with the weight loss.

monica´s lastest post..haiku friday - no halloween

I’m going to admit this right now to all of your gazillion readers.
One year many moons ago my mother grabbed a bag of “candy” at the last minute for the trick or treaters. We went about our normal halloween escapades. A few days later I grabbed a piece of mom’s candy, thinking it was a Brachs hard candy. I stuck it in my mouth and it was the worst tasting thing I ever had. I checked the wrapper and it was cough drops. My mother had given out cough drops for trick or treat.

Jean@workingmomma247´s lastest post..Costume Close Up

@Jean NO!!!!! Now that is just too funny!!!! Ha!

LOVE 100 Grand bars!

We did trick or treat last night and I already stole snickers and Sugar Babies.

Add mini Milky Way bars to your two choices, and I’m in heaven. My favorite part of Halloween is taking all the kids’ candy and letting them just pick a dozen or so. All the more for me.

Love your idea of RAM. And happy anniversary of the blogging kind.

patois´s lastest post..Boo! I’ve Been Ghosted.

That is a beautiful picture… that that picture alone justifies the DSLR.

My favs are heath bars!

Amy´s lastest post..My princess

@Amy Thank you! It DOES justify the DSLR, doesn’t it! In fact, my husband has even begrudgingly agreed that it takes great photos…and he even said I was a pretty good photographer.

I don’t like candycorn! I’ve been loving that ridiculous song on Noggin!

Jenny Henny´s lastest post..The Freaking Orange Napkins That Say BOO!

uhhh… excuse me while I crawl out from under the rock in which I live, but what is NaBloPoMO?

Jenny Henny´s lastest post..The Freaking Orange Napkins That Say BOO!

@Jenny Henny

It’s National Blog Posting Month. You post everyday for 30 days. That’s it.

I did it last year, like zillions of others and I just can’t commit to posting everyday! Unless of course it’s to give good stuff away!

@Knot I’ve never heard of a Wonka Bar? It sounds really yummy.

Happy Blogoversary! I love that pic of your kids.

My favorite candy is Reese’s, hands down. This is the first thing I steal from my kids’ buckets.

all things BD´s lastest post..Car Keys and Pumpkin Interpretation

Favorite: Butterfingers (the boyz are all trained that they have to give theirs to Mommy)

Worst: dum dum pops

Guess what we’re giving out? Yep, dum dum pops.

Trenches of Mommyhood´s lastest post..Happy Halloween!

That photo? Is EXACTLY why you needed the fancy camera. PERFECT!

That is an amazing photo! Great capture.

The rich doctor in my neighborhood growing up would give out king sized Butterfingers. Too bad the dentist a few streets over gave out toothbrushes! LAME!

Megan´s lastest post..Happy Halloween!

Awww - that picture is priceless!

Favorite - Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. The Oldest is allergic to peanuts, so I’m just doing my motherly duty. Plus, I then get to eat them in my closet, all. by. myself.

Pure bliss.

Em´s lastest post..Friday’s Food for Thought

that really is a priceless picture!!! i don’t have to worry about not getting good candy, because the giant 12 year old that is my husband bought every kind of candy ever made, pretending to have gotten it for the trick or treaters.

britt´s lastest post..sick and tired

ooo… candy!
here’s to hoping that they bring home lots of milky ways. i strongly dislike those.

and giveaways?? yippee! (i have one going on at my place…that your lil’ girl might like!! stop by!)

jen´s lastest post..happy halloween and my baby on a horse.

Just popping in to let you know how AWESOME that photo is. But, I am sure you already know that. WTG! Awesome capture.

OHmommy´s lastest post..In the end, they all got candy.

Who are you with that adorable picture??? Seriously cute!

Krista´s lastest post..Book: An Irishwoman’s Tale

My fave are Milky Ways cuz I love chocolate AND caramel. The worst thing I ever got was some religious pamphlet telling me I was going to burn in hell for participating in the satanic holiday of Halloween. Really who gives a little kid that on Halloween? Asshat.

@Megan That is definitely lame to give out toothbrushes!

What an AWESOME photo!!

I love 100 grands, they are the BEST!

Worst thing ever that the kids received were EXPIRED Halloween coupons (like the ones for Burger King and Wendy’s) Worse yet, I didn’t realize they were expired til I took them up there to get something and left my purse at home. They were so upset and I had to scrounge around in the van for some change to get them the frosty’s.

Heather~Domestic Extraordinaire´s lastest post..Thankful Thursday

The one year the neighbor not only handed out the religious tracts (which…whatEVER), but also dumped in a handful of SHELLED PEANUTS. Hubs and I looked at each other like, “Are ya kidding me?” Then a friend pointed out the REALLY grave error with that, “What about the kids with peanut allergies?”

My favorite: snickers bars and twizzlers. Hubs: peanut butter cups. Somehow those “mysteriously” disappear out of the buckets by Nov. 1. Spooky!

Carrie´s lastest post..Random H

happy anniversary!!! Great photo by the way.
My favorite Halloween treat was always popcorn balls. My neighbor growing up, who was like a third grandma to me, always made them for the kids in our ‘hood and her grandchildren. We would go to her house as our last trick or treat stop and have popcorn balls. Aw, I just got all nostalgic!
I’m going to try to do NaBloPoMo this year. I may be coming to your comments section to curse at myself.

Jen L.´s lastest post..Happy Halloween!

i love that pic.

jenica´s lastest post..upside down and backwards

Anything Reese’s is my favorite. There was always a favorite house in our neighborhood growing up that made popcorn balls every year. WE’d change our costumes tons of times just to get extras!

Worst candy….those little candies that come in those paper wrappers that are black and orange…what the heck are those things anyways? Gross.

@Beth Oh those candies are GROSS. I even hate the feel of their waxy paper on my fingers. Those seriously disgust me.

I like the leftovers nobody likes. . .Tootsie Rolls, Dots, and candy corn. YUM!

Sabrina´s lastest post..Big News

great pic!
my fave candy is snickers and take 5s.
but mary janes are so traditionally halloween for me growing up.

can’t think of a worse thing i’d ever gotten… but i’m not a fan of anything w/ coconut.

however, littlebean is not quite 4mos old, so i guess i won’t get the good stash for another 2 years.

hope nobody comes tonight so i can keep all my snickers!

mpotter´s lastest post..note to self

Delurking just to say that I love the photo!

Oh, and on Monday I had my hair done at an Aveda salon for the first time, at your recommendation in a post awhile back. They asked how I heard about them, and I told them a friend in Indiana! (that’s where you were then!)

ragtopday´s lastest post..Six Minute Dating in Sixteen Paragraphs!

Aren’t 100 Grand bars the best? I like those and Snickers best. And I like Mallowcreme Pumpkins, but they’re too rich to have too much at one time.

LOVE the picture. You are getting better & better at that camera. Oh, and my all time favorite is Reeces Cups.

Heidi´s lastest post..Is it cold down there?

Awesome shot! I have gotten several apples in my many Halloweens…and like some others, I have also gotten toothbrushes. But I also used to get a little airplane made out of candy (lifesavers, gum, and who knows what else) that was always my favorite treat — they were all hand made by my aunt’s neighbor, and were SO COOL!

Maggie´s lastest post..Theme Thursday - Create

No kids or trick or treaters = staying in with girlfriends with a (ok a FEW) nice bottle of wine & yummy “hors” from Trader Joe’s…

We used to get apples from the cute old couple next door to us…but they also had an antique cash register in their kitchen, and we’d get to make it ding & open the drawer, and they gave us pennies with our apples. Actually, that kinda sucks, huh? They meant well though…

Also, a few years we trick or treated at our orthodontist’s house (happened to be a neighbor)…he used to give out toothbrushes…

CUTE! Photo.

My favourite Candy is Smarties. And Coffee Crisp…both of which are only Canadian, eh?

Angella´s lastest post..The Back Roads To Kelowna

BEST PICTURE EVER!! I hope you are framing this one.

My favorite are Reese’s peanut butter cups.

The worst treat I ever received as a kid was a dime. And it was from my great aunt.

Heather, Queen of Shake Shake´s lastest post..Random Acts of Marital Unkindness

That picture is ADORABLE!! I just love it.

As for the candy I hope to steal.. Mallowmars! But nobody gives those out anymore. Thank God, my booties doesn’t need any Mallowmars.

Secret Agent Mama´s lastest post..Halloween Memories

Holy crap, do they still sell $100,000 bars?

And as long as you keep the pee restricted to the vicinity of your pants and keep them away from the prizes, then we will all look forward to your giveaways!

Margaret´s lastest post..My Eyes are Bigger Than My Freezer

100 grand or Almond Joy. Yum.

Headless Mom´s lastest post..BFL-WEEK 9- My Triumphant (?) Return

Well, my kid got an ERASER last night, which I thought was quite lame.

Sarah´s lastest post..I Think I’ve Written This Post Before, But…

Happy Halloween! I LOVE peanut butter cups! We hit the jackpot this year too.

Happy blogiversary to you too!

supermommy´s lastest post..Trick or Treat!

LOVE that picture. Gorgeous shot.

I always hated the toothbrush “treat”. Puh-lease.

Shelly´s lastest post..Five and Happy Halloween

what a fantastic picture! worst treat? i’m creeped out by anything that looks home made.

and, happy anniversary!

MommyNamedApril´s lastest post..Happy Halloween!!!

Ooooh! I was so hoping today would be filled with kids in costumes. Jennifer’s going giveaways! WOOT. And, how do you think I gained 80 lbs w/Knute? 100 Grands are like my crack.

That is a beautiful picture. Nerds. Love them. Little nuggets of happiness.

anymommy´s lastest post..The Key to My Heart

What a great picture that is. My worst treat ever was probably the raisins. I hated it when I would get raisins. My favorite candies are probably Sour Patch Kids, Hot Tamales and Dots. I also like Yorks but not a lot of people give those out.

The Farmers Wife´s lastest post..Common Sense

Nutrageous!!! We didn’t get any though. Sniff.

Awesome picture!

Deb´s lastest post..Happy Birthday to me. Oh, and a letter.

Oh, raisins. I hated getting raisins.

Deb´s lastest post..Happy Birthday to me. Oh, and a letter.

You’ve only been blogging for 2 years? Wow - congrats!

I don’t know what might be the worst - I don’t remember much lol

Dawn @ Coming to a Nursery Near You´s lastest post..PBN Photo Contest

Congrats on two years! thats awesome. I was hoping for some peanut butter cups, I can’t resist ‘em
candleslovesoy´s lastest post..New wedding candles with volume discounts

dude, I love me a good Kit Kat, I do!

I can’t bring myself to do NaBloPoMo (or whatever) way too much commitment. :S

Loralee´s lastest post..Happy Halloween!

One of my absolute faves is 100 Grand bars…unfortunately, I didn’t score this year. Between 3 kids, I only got two mini-bars.

Mags´s lastest post..Happy Anniversary, Mr. O!!!

100 Grand bars.

Sadly, we don’t have them in Canada–I discovered them in the Detroit airport last year and LOVE them. I have to go over the bridge to get them; at least it’s only a 15 minute drive for me.

I hated getting raisins. Our kids once got a little paper bag of Cheerios, raisins and Smarties all thrown in loose. Needless to say that went in the trash.

sonja´s lastest post..Halloween 2008

That is a fantastic picture! I love it
MadWomanMeg´s lastest post..Perspective

As everyone before me has said, What a fantastic picture!!

I love it.

Worst thing given: a dime. We had a neighbor who gave us a dime every year. WTF? All you could buy with a dime was… A PIECE OF CANDY from the gumball machine.

Favorite candy: hm. Reese’s Peanut Butter cups OR Smarties.

Happy Day o’ the Dead (as it’s now Nov 1st)!

I so wanted my kids to bring me back Snickers bars. Apparently no one around here gives them out!

I love Reese’s cups, Reese’s Pieces and peanut M&Ms…anything with peanuts or peanut buttah!

Jamie´s lastest post..Halloween Memories

Is that Thomas the Tank Engine I see running up ahead, lol? Brady would be envious!

awwwweeesssoommme shot!!!

The worst was a flyer announcing the coming of Satan. That was a fun night.

The best candy to steal from your kids’ bags is hands down Reeces Peanut Butter Cups. Peanut M&Ms make a close second.

Rosie´s lastest post..We are awesome, we are great! We’re the class of ‘88!!

Just for the record, I did not get even ONE lousy 100 Grand Bar…But! I cannot believe I failed to mention my love of Milk Duds, which I received 2 boxes. Just the right amount to enjoy and not gain 56 pounds!

I LOVE that photo! You’ve got that DSLR down!

Would you believe, we did not get ONE good candy bar out of two bags of “goodies”? What happened to the reese’s, the kit-kats, the snickers?

All we got was dum-dums and tootsie rolls. Which I ate anyway, dammit.

Andrea’s Sweet Life´s lastest post..Free Will Sucks

I love 100 grands and reece’s too! My son is allergic to peanuts, so we can’t have Reece’s anymore.
There’s always someone who give out raisins! I hate that.

Kirsten´s lastest post..I Love It!

Aww, cute costumes.

My favorite candy is about anything chocolate: Snickers, 110 Grands, KitKats, etc.

I remember getting pencils and erasers from a neighbor growing up. Ugh, nice thought, but not what a kid really wants.

Mommy Daisy´s lastest post..Unexciting events

I absolutely LOVE that picture. Priceless.

PsychMamma´s lastest post..EcoBrain eBooks Review and Giveaway!

My faves are M&Ms, Hershey bars and Hershey kisses. Well, any kind of Hershey’s chocolate.

Anything chocolate gets my votes.
This is the one day of the year I wish I could rent a kid so I can ’sample’ their candy for quality assurance.

Condo Blues´s lastest post..I’m in Love with Earthlust Stainless Steel Water Bottles

That is an amazing picture!

My favorite - Almond Joy. Luckily, most kids think Almond Joys have a low value, so I used to get some good deals in the great candy trade-off.

Oz´s lastest post..The Incredible Shrinking Baby!

When I was 9, my friend dared me to go trick or treating at the “spooky” house on the street — you know, peeling paint, gnarled old lady, weird smell, all the basics. I did it (it was still a better option, believe it or not, than having to tell her the truth about the who I currently was in love with.) and when I rang the bell, the old lady came outside and dropped something unidentified into my bag. When I got home later and dumped out my bootie on the floor, I saw, mixed in with the Zagnet bars and Mallow Cups, a TEA BAG. She gave me a freaking tea bag!! My friend and I laughed until she peed her pants and I still don’t drink tea.

@Anne A tea bag?!?! What an odd thing to give to a kid.

That is possibly one of the most adorable shots I have ever seen!
