No candy?! No succulently sweet, glue-my-teeth-together candy? It may not make you the most popular home on the block, but perhaps parents will be thanking you once their kids don’t wake up the next morning with a toothache. And even if they do, at least you know it’s not because of what you gave them for Halloween. Trick or treat!
