Shopping tips for Halloween candy

When those little ghosts and goblins come collecting on Halloween, make sure you have a full supply of union-made-in-America treats for them. Here's a brief list of choices of candy products made by members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM); snack foods by members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW); or fruit and nuts from members of the United Farm Workers of America (UFW).

Because of format issues, you will have to use the link t see the list.

But if somebody knows how to display the list properly, please feel free.

16. If I can find one of those I am SO putting it on my daughter's bed.

Or maybe in her lunchbox. One of my sister's use to have a large rubber spider that my daughter loved to play with.

9. anyone know about Reeses Peanut butter cups

those are always popular with most kids so i was planning on getting those.

13. NO Reese's products on the list. A little looking around on the Web shows that the Reese plant was

never unionized, and apparently Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (? and other Reese products - not clear) are now made in Mexico, as are lots of other Hershey products.

No M&M/Mars products on the list either.

11. Have some candy on hand for little ghosties and goblins who have nut and/or dairy allergies.

Please? I have grandchildren for whom Halloween is a tough holiday to get through with such largesse out there and so little they can enjoy.

14. Do they have Halloween in China? (not entirely a stupid question)

I ask this sarcastically because some Halloween (and possibly other U.S. holidays) candy is manufactured in China, so thanks for this list!!
