We ordered custom stamped chocolate coins for one of our client’s events. This was a last minute order and they were able to get it here as promised. The clients loved the personalized coins, it was a huge hit! We will definitely be using them in the future.
Epic Fail Halloween Treats
You know what we’re talking about. Those infamous “treats” that no kid wants but invariably gets in his bag every year. Don’t be one of the houses that the kids skip over. Avoid these handouts or suffer the wrath.
Mary Jane Peanut Butter Kisses – Molasses & peanut butter massaged into an amalgam of tree-sap nastiness. Wrapped in nondescript orange & black wrappers. Simply yuck.
Butterscotches – Any hard candies for that matter, but especially these yellow toothbreakers commonly found at Gram-Gram’s house.
Necco Wafers – These chalky disks were popular with World War II soldiers that ate whatever they could get. For some reason the company assumed kids would be just as desperate to eat a piece of blackboard chalk.
Raisins – As a fruit, raisins are barely passable. As a Halloween treat? Nuh-uh. Don’t be THAT house on the block.
Black Licorice Nibs – Try and find one kid who says “Ooooh, black licorice!” Maybe in Amish country. Maybe.
Orange Slices – Remember these gelatinous atrocities covered in sugar crystals? They’re still haunting kids today.
Circus Peanuts – Possibly the coup-de-farce of Halloween candy cheapness. Who can forget these dull orange-colored, pasty globs of grossness, immediately targeted for the trash bin. I’d personally rather eat packing peanuts.
DOTS – Since their 1945 introduction, kids everywhere have shouted with glee “I could sure go for a gumdrop!” And yet, manufacturer Tootsie Roll Industries produces four BILLION of these colored blobs of rubber cement each year. But on a positive note… they’re Vegan!
Wax Lips – Hey! What’s funnier than wearing fake lips over your real ones? And when the hilarity dies down, you can actually chew the lips up like some sort of disgusting version of flavorless chewing gum. No truth to the rumor that for years these were produced using ear wax from children working in Chinese sweatshops. But I’m not taking any chances.
Candy Corn – What list of Halloween candy fails would be complete without the iconic candy corn? And why corn? The “candy beet” too far-fetched? These way-too-sweet kernels of gritty sugar and hydrogenated corn syrup are everything spooky about the holiday. Worst of all are the people that drop a disgusting handful, unwrapped from a bowl, as they fall to the bottom of your sack and rustle around with the lint. Ewww.
So there you have have it. The no-no’s for Halloween treat-giving. That is, unless you enjoy scrubbing broken eggs and toilet paper off your house on November 1st.

The coins looked fantastic and tasted even better, everyone here loves them.
10 Tips for Safe Halloween Trick-or-Treating
Halloween is almost here. It’s one of the most fun times of the year for kids, but it can also be dangerous. Follow these tips for keeping your child safe when they go out trick-or-treating.
1. Costumes can be cool and safe. Make your child’s costume safe by putting pieces of reflective tape on it. Masks are also fun, but they can obstruct a child’s view. If it’s possible, create a mask with face paint instead.
2. If your child is at the age where they can go trick-or-treating without a parent, make sure they go with a group of friends instead. Be firm on teaching them to never stray from the group. There’s safety in numbers.
3. Keep your kid safe when they’re trick-or-treating on busy streets. Teach them how to cross the streets safely by using crosswalks and traffic signs. Give your child a flashlight or glow stick to carry so oncoming traffic can see them.
4. Tell your child that under no circumstances should they ever go inside a house to get candy. If they encounter a homeowner who wants them to go inside their house to get a treat, tell your child to run, not walk away.
5. Teach your kid the importance of waiting until they get home to eat their treats. Check every piece of candy to make sure it’s safe. If a piece of candy looks suspicious, throw it out.
6. Plan a detailed route for your kid. Make sure you know exactly which streets and houses your kid will be visiting on Halloween. Give them a cell phone to use to check in with you.
7. Check the US Department of Justice National Sex Offender Database (http://www.nsopw.gov) to see if any predators are located in your neighborhood. If there are sex offenders nearby, explain to your child the importance of staying away from this home during their trick-or-treating adventure.
8. Your child may be tempted to take short cuts through unlit yards. Teach your kid the importance of staying on well-lit streets with a lot of people when they’re out trick-or-treating.
9. Keep safety in mind when choosing the style of your kids’ Halloween costume. Make sure the costume you choose for your child isn’t too long. If a costume drags on the ground, your kid could trip over it.
10. Tell your child to only go trick-or-treating at houses that are well-lit. Some people don’t celebrate Halloween, and they should be respected.

The chocolate coins were tasty and piratey! Very high quality. They were delivered safely to Tampa Bay, Florida in September (where it was still hot). Thank you.

We ordered custom stamped coins – both milk chocolate and mint, 500 each – for our Irish Festival with our festival logo on them and our leprechauns gave them out to the crowd. They were a great hit! We plan to order them for our event again next year.
Shauna
These coins are fantastic! We originally ordered 500, and when they arrived we loved them so much we ordered 1000 more. They are beautiful, delicious, and the customer service is superb.

We ordered custom stamped chocolate coins for a casino themed charity event. The quality and weight was so perfect, some people thought they were real poker chips and once they ate them, they raved about how delicious they were! I highly recommend Foiled Again! Chocolate Coins for quality, service and attention to detail!

I am very happy with the quality and service with your company. I was emailed to make sure my order was correct before completion. Our wedding chocolates are going to be a big hit for my daughter and her fiancee.

I ordered custom stamped coins and was MORE than pleased with what I received. Not only did they look great but they tasted great too! I did have to call customer service about reshipping the box to another state and they were so very helpful with every question I had!
