I'm a house that buys Full size Candy bars. We average 50 kids in our neighborhood, so generally 1 fundraiser box covers us.

I still have my 2024 screen shots and as you can see the price went up 31% I know it's not an exact comparison, but the box I gave away last year appears to have been discontinued. On lower count packs its gone up nearly 45%.

I was planning on doing Roasted Chestnuts and Apple cider for parents as a fun gag, but now I'm considering doing that exclusively.

I got excited at this idea until I remembered that American cider isn't alcoholic. Should make some proper scrumpy!

Where do you get roasted chestnuts?

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

You need to find an open fire

Well first I have to pick them. I go here https://ohiochestnuts.com/#visit

And then I plan on roasting them the day of, I've got an antique cast iron chestnut pan and a grill.
