Do you hand out an alternative to candy Halloween night?

Halloween can be a scary time for parents, considering the amount of candy that returns home after a long night of trick-or-treating.
Although rare, there are some brave people out there that refuse to hand out candy, and offer trick-or-treaters an alternative to Halloween candy.

If you choose to hand out a candy alternative Halloween night, what type of reaction do you get from the trick-or-treaters? What kind of alternative to you hand-out? Share your suggestions with readers that may be looking for Halloween candy alternatives this year.

Money or Candy

We save all of our pennies throughout the year and put them out in a big bowl on the porch alongside the candy. We have found that kids today have so much access to candy that they often are excited to go for the money.
