Got six jumbo bags of Hershey bars last week, buy one get one, at Publix. This week is Nestle's bars, so I'll be getting another six bags of them. Then we'll make the Target run to finish filling the bucket. 
2015 Treats
So - what is everyone giving out this year?
My little neighbor is dressing up as Curious George - so he gets a banana. (He LOVES bananas so he'll be cool about it)
Not sure about everyone else though.
Hoping to steal some good ideas from you - if I can't come up with anything it will be religious pamphlets this year!

Since we don't typically get a lot of Trick or Treaters I've decided to give out full-sized candy bars this year. I'm hoping the word spreads so more and more ToT come down our block in the ensuing years.
Hershey's Bars
Snickers
Kit Kats
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
I've been hidding these in my house so my wife and daughter don't get to them before 10/31.

Someone else stated that also- going to do that for next yearSince we don't typically get a lot of Trick or Treaters I've decided to give out full-sized candy bars this year. I'm hoping the word spreads so more and more ToT come down our block in the ensuing years.

Oh! I didn't even see this! Sorry for sounding redundant! We are doing the same thing.
We get next to no ToTers (at the end of the street after some "dark" houses, with a very very busy cross-street - we're on the corner and the cross-street is zooming with cars at night and pretty dangerous) so I can always afford to go big with candy.

We also don't have a ton of kids so we're giving out Pringles (The short cans with the resealable lids. Always loved those cans as a kid for some reason) or Cadbury Spider mini-Eggs. We're also giving out the little Halloween mini-comics which they sell at the local comic shop in packs of 20 for $8. My wife also picked up some Lindt Chocolate pumpkins as an option for little ones who might have trouble maybe with the mini-eggs?
So each kid will get one of those plus a comic.
I think aside from the comics it's all her favourite stuff.

I used to make treat bags, a couple pieces of chocolate, a couple pieces of fruity candy, gum, a little toy, and a glow bracelet. I quit doing the bags, because it just takes too much time with having a young child and working. When I did it before, my kids were older, and I was a SAHM. I'll probably do it again someday, when our little guy is bigger, and doesn't want one or six of everything.
The last two years, we had Goldfish packs in addition to candy and glow bracelets, and small Halloween themed rubber ducks for toddlers and babies (counting on their parents to decide whether or not they were safe, they weren't the teeny tiny ducks).
This year, I wanted to order little stuffed animals for the kids who were "too young" for candy, but I didn't get around to it. It's probably too late, now, without paying outrageous shipping. So the littles are still getting candy that their parents will eat.
I did buy some gluten free Veggie Chips bags in Halloween shapes, in case we get some who request GF items. Other than glow bracelets and GITD fangs, it's just the regular mini candy mix, mostly chocolate that Menards had pretty cheap recently.
I saw several people buying the boxes of mini Oreos (30 pks per box) at Wal-mart. That's not a bad idea, IMO.
