These treats range from chocolate bars in miniature sizes to fruit-flavored chews, hard candies, and novelty items like lollipops shaped in seasonal motifs. Such sugary offerings are integral to the holiday’s tradition of trick-or-treating.
The appeal of these seasonal sweets lies in their ability to evoke feelings of nostalgia, community, and celebratory indulgence. Historically, the distribution of such items served as a symbolic offering to appease spirits, evolving into the modern custom of rewarding costumed visitors.
