Great choice but at my age I never know whether the candy or my teeth are going to win.
Is it morally wrong to give out Almond Joy to trick-or-treaters?

Oh great. Now I'm craving a tub of Breyers Snickers ice cream.

That’s a bit of a good news/bad news situation. I have a broken window, but also…free brick.
We used to chuck them on the roof of the house when we walked away. Then go stomp their pumpkins. We were holy terrors on Halloween.
As kid, the OCD in me could never understand why a candy that was 87% coconut goo was called "Almond Joy". Mounds and Almond Joy should be called "Coconut Joy" and "Coconut Joy With Almonds", respectively.
Regardless, I don’t understand not letting the kids just choose whatever they want from the candy bowl. Preselecting the candy choices for the kids is a lousy experience for them, like going to a sit-down plated dinner and playing the "white roll/wheat roll lottery".

Weird. I'd never even heard of it until this thread. Is it a Republican candy bar?
Donate them to your local penitentiary. Don't harm the future of America with Mounds or Almond Joy

Hey! We actually can agree on something!
I used to let kids choose their candy. It’s way too cumbersome. I had about 130 kids show up at my house tonight, often in groups of 5 or 6. It’s too much hassle to let each of them pick what they want. They end up rooting around in the bowl for 30 seconds.
Each of them was hauling a bag of candy that will take them a week to eat. Some of it they’ll like and some of it they won’t. How is that a “lousy experience”?
It's not lousy when it's that many kids. Don't take it personally, just trying to have fun with the topic. If you commit to handing out candy to that many kids, you're a good neighbor.
FWIW, my parents always liked Almond Joys and getting them made it so I could share the candy with them when I got back home.
I love coconut so Mounds and Almond Joy are a-okay in my book. But my top 5 are 1) Snickers 2) Reece's PB Cups 3) Peanut M&Ms, 4)good call on Mr Goodbar, and 5) Milky Way
When we had trick or treaters I would buy the top 3 above and Skittles. Oh, and Twix because my kids think they are the goat And you can usually get them with Snickers and M&Ms in a variety pack.

As long as you aren’t the asshole handing out homemade popcorn balls like a neighbor I had back in the 80s. Or the all-sugar crap like smarties or dum dums either.
I’m a lover of Almond Joy, but wish there were more almonds in them. Not my top choice, but in the top 5
100 Grand is great, it is like a Nestle Crunch with caramel added.
Peanut M&Ms are the best variety.
Baby Ruth is underrated, in my opinion superior to the Snickers bar based upon the higher peanut concentration.
Kit Kats have come out with some interesting flavor varieties, but even the standard one is a quality candy bar if you get full size. It loses points in the fun size packaging, especially the single bar packages.
Salted Nut Roll, the Pearson’s variety, is also underrated. But rarity keeps it out of my top 5. Prefer it over a Payday.
I love Heath/Skor in ice cream, especially at Culver’s when you add cheesecake bits to it, but a bit less so as a standalone candy bar.

If you let them just pick from the bag some kids will pick them, and then you will know who to keep your kids away from.
Some times you feel like a nut, some times you don't. Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don't.
Almond Joy is perfectly acceptable. Mounds are the anti-christ.
No butterfingers? have never had Whatchamacallits or Take 5s, but I like the cut of your jib on the rest, so I might have to try some next year. Don’t eat candy except for around Halloween, or in Whitey’s malts.
A lot of candy bars have nuts. But only Almond Joy has one big nut that sits on top of a lot of ground up white (coco) nuts.
Buddy of mine back in high school had a yellow Bat van used to round up pumpkins around Halloween. He got busted and was forced to give them back and apologize to the owners.
You're a POS that doesn't deserve those. When I'm done with your mom meet me at the fight bar. It'll only take about 10 minutes.
Almond Joys are a gift from god. OP can shove it
I ate one just to see if maybe my recollection of them was wrong. It was worse than I remembered. The flavor and texture are just wrong. I had to chew it for about 30 seconds before I could finally swallow it. That’s not normal for bite size candy.
