Awww. That's pretty awesome. For me it was popcorn balls. Love those! And when I was really young there were a couple people who would still hand those out.
I remember one year when all the panic set in though, and my mom not only went with nothing but store-bought candy, but also put everything in a little bag with her contact information on the side. Seems so weird now.
All the cases of tampered treats have come from family members, so I think the real risk to kids is almost non-existent. But the perception is still there, so if you were going to do it, I'd probably restrict it to neighbours you knew, otherwise all your hard work might wind up in the garbage.
The thing that surprises me is that even with all the scare-mongering about candy, you still see kids digging into their bags and eating stuff on the way home. That was a definite no-no when I was young. If my mother found out I'd been eating candy before she checked it out, SHE would have been the scariest part of Halloween.
