First off, did any of you use pillow cases to collect candy on Halloween night instead of a bag or bucket? It held more, and could also be used as a weapon...just saying.

So what are you getting for the trick-or-treaters this year? Are you a "fun size" or "full size" candy giver? Regardless of the size of the candy, it's the type of candy that gets the little ones excited.

In the state of Illinois, kids according to this survey love the Kit Kat. Can't go wrong with that, even though the majority of the country likes Snickers the best. In Maine, the Tootsie Roll is the preferred candy of kids...what? Is this 1980?

So let's get down to the nuts and bolts of this article, which candy do you NOT give kids in Illinois? There are some gross ones, I always hated Mounds...not a coconut fan at all, gross!
