When I was little we had a neighbor who would hand out pop corn balls. And then there was the big candy scare so no more homemade Halloween goodies :-(
I think I will make pop corn balls this year for our after trick or treating driveway party. In my neighborhood, everyone sits outside and hands out candy, we usually set up a table with roasted pumpkin seeds, cookies and hot cider or chocolate to give out to anyone who wants to come visit for a while. One year we dragged out the TV and played "The Nightmare Before Christmas" for the kids--it was like the Drive In!!
Yep, we were never allowed to eat the homemade goodies....threw them out. If we received an apple, it just might have a razor blade in it. Yes, we checked, never found a razor blade. But, ya never know :-) I will give out my favorites, and any leftovers will be brought to my job the next day...don't want to be tempted :-)
Sounds like you live in a fun neighborhood, happy Halloween to all of you!
