bit late I know, but every year I get some clementines and draw a pumpkin type face on them with marker pens - when i first did this and put them in a bowl with sweets and chocolates the kids went mental for the 'baby pumpkins' - they took them rather than the unhealthy sweets. Just give them out all the time now

    Yes but how do you do you stop the little buggers knocking on your door in the first place?

    I prefer the home made toffee apple.

    Wrap them up in clingfilm so they don't eat them straight away.

    Then when they are home comes the surprise that you actually made it with an onion rather than an apple.

    best part of daves suggestion is that it means you get to eat the chocs first

    reminds me of when i put a brick in an empty tin of Quality Street for my little brother, back in the 70s when those sweets would have been a superb pressie..... the look on his face before vs after!

    yelling 'get out of the way you f***ing dick' seemed to work with the one that just stepped straight into the road in front of me yelling trick or treat as I was at full tilt coming home tonight.

    it's been a day for it.
