A child in a costume knocks on a neighbor's door, and instead of a candy bar, they get a shiny apple, a handful of nuts, or a sticky popcorn ball still warm from the kitchen. Can you imagine trading your whole candy bag for that? Back then, treats came straight from people's kitchens, not from astore.  \nThose kitchen treats were the whole show for a long time. In the early  \n1900s, neighbors made homemade goodies like caramel apples, popcorn balls, small cakes, and roasted nuts to hand out. Making candy from scratch was hard work, so getting a treat felt special. A family might spend a whole afternoon rolling popcorn balls just to be ready for visitors.  \nRolling popcorn balls all afternoon sounds fun, but it was about to get much easier. Starting in the 1950s and continuing through the 1970s, trick-or-treating spread across American neighborhoods, and factories were ready with candy that came already wrapped. Wrapped candy was cheap, quick to hand out, and easy to buy by the bag. Little by little, those store-bought pieces pushed the homemade apples and popcorn balls off the porch.  \nWrapped candy won partly because it made everyone feel safer. Parents liked treats sealed in a factory wrapper because they could see the candy had not been opened. Companies noticed the crowds of trick-or-treaters and started making candy in small, single sizes just for the holiday. That is why you find those tiny \"fun size\" bars that fit right in your palm.  \nThose little bars add up to a giant pile by the end of the night. According to the National Retail Federation, Americans plan to spend billions of dollars on Halloween candy in recent years. That is enough money to buy candy for almost everyone in the country several times over. From one warm popcorn ball to billions of dollars in wrappers, Halloween sure got sweeter!  \nThe History of Halloween Candy  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What kinds of treats did children often receive on Halloween more than a hundred years ago?\u003Cbr>A.
