Hershey's, Kit Kat and Reese's Assorted Milk Chocolate Candy, Variety Box 27.3 oz, 18 Count

Let me be clear: this candy is flawless. Hershey's, Kit Kat, Reese's in one box? This is the Holy Trinity of Halloween. Zero complaints on the product itself. And can we talk about the Reese's for a second? Peanut butter. Peanut butter. I need you to understand that I am not being casual about this. The peanut butter situation in a Reese's cup is one of humanity's great achievements and this box has them in abundance. The problem was the kids. I bought 12 boxes because I wanted to be a legend, and I achieved that goal. Briefly. Word spread fast. The neighborhood was buzzing. Parents were texting each other. For about 45 minutes, I was the greatest person on my street, possibly in my county. Then the traffic slowed. Then stopped. Rural trick-or-treating has a natural ceiling, and I had massively overestimated the local child population. So I started offering two, three at a time. "Take more," I said. "Please," I said. "I am begging you," I said. I held up a whole bag. A bag, kids. A bag of yummy, full-size, peanut-butter-loaded candy bars, free of charge, on a silver Halloween platter. They said no. Politely. And walked away with one. ONE. When I was a kid and a house was handing out full-size bars, I would have needed a second bag. I would have gone home, changed costumes, and come back. I would have called cousins from other towns. These children just said "no thank you" and moved on like tiny, well-adjusted adults, and honestly it was a little unsettling. Incredible candy. Deeply disappointing generation. Five stars.

As always these are the best. And a good treat for our great grandson, for a job well done. School work, or picking up his toys. Some people will call it a bribe, but it's not I just surprise him when I think he did his best or did more than we expected him to do. Not a daily deal.
