Nothing in the letter stipulates HOW MANY little candies you can give each child.
If there are lots of kids, I suppose some families might have trouble affording big bars, and feel peer pressure, but I suppose they could use it as a teachable moment for their kids. Anyway, most kids are happy with small candy as long as they get something. Even the toothbrush house is worth the walk up to the door.
I grew up in a smaller town (6-800 pop), for whatever reason I was the only/youngest kid in my neighbourhood.
I always took my neighbourhood last, as they’d stuff me up when they were aware no one else would waddle by, the norm would be 15 cents and 3 euroes wasn’t uncommon in that area… If waddled by at 5 pm
I honestly can’t imagine how anyone can afford to give out big bars at all. Don’t they cost like $1 each? Are people spending $50 on Halloween candy for trick or treaters?
I think some people, maybe no kids of their own so they have a little money, remember what a big thrill it was for them as a child, and they just really enjoy being A Generous God one night a year. Seeing the faces light up. Maybe especially if they’re estranged from family so no gifts to buy. I live in a condo and the few kids in the building go elsewhere to trick-or-treat, so most people don’t do anything, but my neighbor down the hall puts out a bowl of regular -size (not giant but not mini) candy bars October 1st and keeps it filled the whole month! I just put out a bowl of little ones on the night.

Ya never know, they might have backup candy for when the toothbrushes run out!
