The Top Halloween Candies You Can Steal from Your Kids Guilt Free.

All of us adore Halloween. Many parents will take their children trick-or-treating this evening. They will stay out later than is appropriate. When they go home, they'll rip off their costumes and start digging through their candy stash.

Halloween Night:

They stuff as many sweets as they can fit in their hands and down their throats, it goes. Due to the powerful sugar rush, they bounce off the walls and stay up later than usual. However, we don't mind as parents. That's because we already know that those bags will contain candy that kids don't desire. Sure, a parent might notice at least three to five Reese's peanut butter cups, that are going to mysteriously disappear.

If the child isn't paying attention, possibly more. In my home, that is referred to as the "daddy tax." Let's instead talk about the sweets they don't like. As a grownup, There aren't many sweets that I don't enjoy. I won't stop until my blood sugar monitor tells me to quit eating! Because free Halloween candy is the best!

Top Candies:

So, if you really want to steal candy from your child's Halloween bag without feeling bad about it, here is a list of the best candies. They won't miss them. I promise.
Dove dark chocolate bars, Baby Ruth bars, almond joys, and Butterfingers are among the candy your kids are less likely to care about, according to the wonderful people at YouGov. Oh, how I wish that was my home!

According to a recent survey, these are the best Halloween candies that your children won't mind if you steal. Additionally, I know a man who will gladly remove those Baby Ruth candies from your hands if you truly don't want them. Also, Did you hear the rumor about those candy-coated chocolates? Yes! The ones with the letters on them! Ya know the red-dyed ones? Not good man. You shouldn't eat those. I'll tell ya what. Give them to me and I'll get rid of them for you...

Halloween Costumes And Safety For Dogs

We want to celebrate the season, however, we also need to consider both Halloween costumes and safety for dogs. We love our pets and dressing them up can be fun. But what looks cute to us, is not always safe for them. In addition, there tends to be a lot of activity, around Halloween which could get your pets riled up and stressed out. Do they already go crazy every time the door bell rings?

The team at Veterinarians.org has put together a few guidelines and tips to help keep your pets safe and hopefully calm this Halloween:

Keep Halloween Candy Out of Reach

Placing Halloween treats in a closed jar may be the safest way to keep them away from your pet. In addition, Encourage children to throw wrappers away and tell them how to keep their furry friends safe. Raisins, chocolate, candy corn, sweets with xylitol can be toxic to pets.

Protect Pets From Halloween Decorations

Candles, electrical cords, fog machines, glow sticks, and rotting pumpkin can all pose a risk to your pet.  

Keep Pets Identifiable

Take all necessary measures to ensure your pet will easily be found if they escape. Proper identification, microchipping, and GPS collars all provide steps to help you bring your pet home safely.

Keep Anxious Pets Calm

Crowds of people in your home, excessive noise, unusual costumes, fireworks, flashing decorations, and congested spaces can cause pets anxiety. Consider some calming aids to combat this.

Ensure Costumes are Comfortable

Select a simple costume, avoiding anything that has straps or small accessories that can pose choking hazards or could get them trapped in usual areas. Finally, make sure the costume fits comfortably and is not restricting your pet’s ability to move, see, smell, breathe or make vocal sounds.

Now that we have a solid check list to keep our pets safe during this week's festivities, check out these adorable Halloween costumes for dogs.
