Boo-yeah, Halloween enthusiasts! It's that time of year again when little goblins and ghouls come knocking, expecting a sugar rush that'll last till Christmas. But what if we told you there's a way to be the coolest house on the block without turning into the neighborhood candy dealer? Prepare to have your mind blown faster than you can say "trick-or-treat"!

We've conjured up a spellbinding list of treats that'll make kids forget all about those fun-sized candy bars. These alternatives are so good, you might find yourself sneaking a few before the trick-or-treaters arrive (we won't tell if you don't). Say goodbye to sugar-induced tantrums and hello to being the house that kids will remember long after the jack-o'-lanterns have turned to mush!

Curious how all of these BP amazon postings are massively downvoted and when you look at the items all of them habe positive votes and almost no comments. I call BS, Boredpanda. We do not care. The Pandas have spoken. Stop it!!!

Review: "10 more packs than were included in the 2022 Halloween bags, and a lower price as well. The card selection is well-varied per pack, so you can give these away on Halloween night or buy a bag or two and attempt to collect all of the cards in the set. Either way, the kids get a kick out of them, and they are a nice addition to the 2023 card lineup overall." - Matt
