Brought my daughter to a trunk-or-treat and got this so so fun sized pack of peanut M&M's. More of a trick than a treat really.

What is a trunk-or-treat?
For various reasons, not everyone can do traditional trick-or-treating. The idea behind a trunk-or-treat is to provide a more accessible approximation of the experience. It's also another opportunity for Halloween fun for everyone. The way it works is that volunteers, frequently business and other organizations, but also individuals, set up in a parking lot with decorated vehicles and hand out goodies to the kids who show up in their costumes. There are also typically games and other kid activities. And that's all there is to it.
Just a little tidbit to add:
One of the common reasons I've seen trunk-or-treats, instead of traditional door-to-doors, is due to dangerous neighborhoods. One community had a high crime rate, so the local church set up a trunk night so parents could bring their kids and feel safer.
