Rec Therapy Today did a little informal research to determine what is a recreational therapists favorite Halloween candy?.

Danny Pettry – Two people had written, “recess” for this answer.  I liked that because it has to do with play. I changed all “Recess” answers to Reese’s. Please note this answer also included included several different answers, including:  peanut-butter cups, Reese pieces, and Reese’s pumpkins.

 

Danny Pettry’s reminder — always remember and consider patients who have allergies or diabetes or other eating disorders or needs at Halloween time.

We got a lot of answers.

# 1 – Reese’s (33%) or 1 out of 3 RTs said that this is their favorite!

Danny Pettry: The Reese pumpkins are my personal favorites! – so I’m in this group too.

# 2 – Snickers 12% said Snickers was their favorite.

# 3 – Candy Corn 8% of RTs said this was their favorite Halloween candy – and one person out of this 8% had written “Candy Corn, even thought I don’t like it myself.”

• 258 people completed a survey.
• 226 out of the 258 people who completed the survey shared their favorite candy.
