You know those awful peanut butter candies that came in either black or orange wrappers? My parents bought a giant bag of them in bulk and gave them out every Halloween. From the same bag. For like five years.

This disgusting crap.

Now here is a Halloween pro tip: Go to a site like Oriental Trading Co. and get a bunch of cheap toys and plastic rings and temporary tattoos and such and give those out instead of candy. Even the teenagers love it. Kids are always excited because they get candy from everyone else, so we give them something cool and different. We have heard, "yes! It's the toy house!" more than once.

Those are some of my favorites! I love peanut butter anything, even salt-water taffy. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I would buy these myself even outside Halloween if I knew anywhere that ever sold 'em.

They wouldn't be your favorites after they had been sitting in an open bag in a damp basement's so-called pantry for five years.
