ACROSS AMERICA — In a couple of weeks, trick-or-treaters will making the rounds of U.S. neighborhoods, their faces expectant as they push their baskets and buckets forward to receive the treats.

What do the kids trick-or-treating in your neighborhood want in their candy bags? Candy corn? A Butterfinger, Milky Way or Snickers? Skittles, Sour Patch Kids or M&Ms? Or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? Or do they want something else? A different edible treat, or even a small toy?

We’re asking for Block Talk, Patch’s exclusive neighborhood etiquette column.

Just fill out our informal, just-for-fun survey. Defend your choice. This is a Halloween candy throwdown, after all. (And don’t be scared: We won’t collect your email address.)
