What Do You Give A Trick Or Treater On Halloween 2006?

Does anyone reading expect Trick or Treaters at their house tomorrow? Because every year we fall for one of those garbage bag-sized sacks of really tiny candy bars and then only five or six kids come to the door and we end up eating all the candy ourselves a dozen at a time. Those bags are expensive and we can't handle the tummy aches like we used to, but if a single little ghoul shows up at our door and we don't have anything to drop in his plastic pumpkin we'll have failed as neighborhood residents.

Is there anything particularly "Seattle" we can have on hand to feed the monsters with, short of home-baked vegan cookies or little gift certs for carbon credits? We're looking for something conscious (ie: no factory candy with more wrapper than product) that we can use ourselves if traffic is low. Minimal effort on our part. Asparagus spears? We don't want to be the guy who's mailbox we kicked in twenty years ago for daring to hand us a popcorn ball. Maybe we should head over to Essential or Chocolati and buy like a dozen truffles? No, we'll end up sitting backs against the door in a completely dark house with a gut full of chocolate and a head full of endorphins. What then?

The reality is that Seattlest lives in a duplex and only a handful of kids will pass through the outer door and the airlock to get to our actual door, which puts us roughly in the same situation as tens of thousands of Seattle condo dwellers. And since we're headed to an all-condo city Trick or Treating will be entirely dead soon anyway, so we only really need something for the next year or two.
