Yes coming up with Halloween costume ideas is exciting for people of all ages, but face it, when you were a kid, Halloween was mostly about the candy. Yes, dressing up was fun, but it was the candy corn and gummy fangs you'd get leading up to the big night, or treats you snuck from the cabinets, that helped build up the suspense.
After a few hours of trick or treating, you'd dump your pillow case, which was stuffed to the brim, on the living room floor, then compare your loot with friends.
While people are trying to get their children to be more health conscious, you're not going to stop handing out candy, right? So why not go all out, it's only once a year! For really innovative treats and Halloween candy ideas, seek inspiration from the slideshow below.
