I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

I saw people in my apartment complex getting their kids ready to go out earlier while walking my dogs; not one of them seemed to do any rounds within the complex though.

There's a rich neighborhood about a block away. I wonder if they all just go there, looking for the full sized candy bars. 🤔

Haven't had anyone come trick or treating to my door since COVID. It's weird as hell and I'm about to stop buying candy. For them, anyway.
