When it comes to snaring the best and most candy on Halloween, victory is sweet.

To complete this How-To you will need:

An awesome costume
A small candy bucket
A large durable bag, preferably drawstring
A strong adult or a bicycle with a basket
An extra mask or costume
An extra bucket

Step 1: Wear a great costume

Buy or make a great costume. No one likes to give candy to kids who think they're too cool to dress up.

Step 2: Hit the streets early

Hit the streets early, when everyone is fully stocked. You'll also be first to the houses where people leave out bowls of candy for you to indulge in "on your honor."

Tip: Trick-or-treat in small groups. Gangs of children make homeowners worry that they're going to run out of candy, so they distribute accordingly.

Step 3: Smile

Always say "trick or treat" with a smile. Sure it's cheesy, but it'll get you candy. Complimenting the homeowner on her decorations helps too.

Tip: If candy matters more to you than your integrity, carry an extra bucket and say it's for a sick friend or sibling.

Step 4: Empty pail into larger sack

Empty your pitiful little pail into a larger sack every few houses. People are more generous if you arrive almost empty-handed. Stash the sack in your bike basket or with your adult chaperone.

Tip: After emptying your bucket, hit up the good candy-givers again by simply slipping on another mask.

Step 5: Be excited

Be excited! Tell everyone they're giving out your favorite candy; that way you won't seem greedy when you ask for more.

Step 6: Don't eat as you go

Resist the urge to eat as you go. Serious collectors know they can't cover as much distance with a belly full of sugar.

  • This would be useless in england :|

    1. put on anything you feel like and get somethin to put the sweets in

    2. only go to people's houses if they have lights on, pumpkins, ect

    3. run between houses.

    4. make sure you have like....2 hours to get the sweets

    5. if the people say 'go on take a handful' you take a handful.

    6. when you get home, sneak your sweets to your bedroom so your parents don't take any

    7. don't get fat or your parents will suspect something.

  • Step 1: Buy a gun

    Step 2: Point it at the candy giver and say "Give me all your candy"

    Step 3: If they don't give you candy, shoot them in the foot and repeat Step 2
