Ahhhhhhhhhh! WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME SO!?!?! Can't you see that I am a woman in pain from my deep desire and longing for these black diamonds of confectionery delights?!?It's so sad...there's actually a market in Ontario where you can buy bags of Jelly Beans that are ALL BLACK. My aunt sent me some in the mail once

Sounds like a good old fashioned eggin' and a wet TP-in' are in store for your house this year.
LOL!I thought you were joking at first because my first instinct on "Chocolate Covered Potato Chips" is to hurl and run. But... if it's dark chocolate you're talkin' about... hmmmmm... 0_o ... I might seriously consider that.

We gave away candy too, the sauce is sorta' of a tradition from way back. Its also a good way to empty the drawer that fills with those little packet year long.Sounds like a good old fashioned eggin' and a wet TP-in' are in store for your house this year.
As far as Tp'ing goes, our kids are 'in the loop' that would handle that- - we're safe.

I don't get why it wouldn't load? but here:
Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
"Just like the candy! You'll need 30 mini (1 3/4 by 1 1/4 inch) paper cups for filling."
Ingredients
2 cups milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
Directions
In 1-quart saucepan combine chocolate chips and shortening. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth (3 to 5 minutes).
Loosen top paper cup from stack, but leave in stack for greater stability while being coated. With small paint brush, coat inside top cup evenly with about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate to about 1/8-inch thickness, bringing coating almost to top of cup, but not over edge. Repeat until 30 cups are coated; refrigerate cups.
In 2-quart saucepan combine butter or margarine and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (4 to 6 minutes). Stir in confectioners' sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Press about 1/2 tablespoon filling into each chocolate cup.
Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate on top of filling; spread to cover. Freeze until firm (about 2 hours) carefully peel off paper cups. Store refrigerated.

GAK! That mammogram magnet even beats the fundie literature we got last year!!
I never ever mind toothbrushes. I think it's excellent, actually (free toothbrushes!). My issue was just with the marketing. It's supposed to be a fun night. Leave it fun.
Paul said if he were a dentist he'd hand out toffees. Har.

The real candy corn is OK. The cheap crap is nasty.
