I may not bother to open the door. I have my living room at the back of the house so I will turn off all the other lights close my living room door and stay in there.
I used to get in sweets and have loose change to give to them.
When they done it which I even think they were out last year I opened the door to at least six children on two occasions. One thrust out the bucket for the money and the others held out bags or hands asking for sweets and candy there was too many of them and one cannot be expected to hand over a huge pile of sweets to so many. Do not like to be mean but I do not like the trick and treat anymore.

If you want a peaceful evening …
Why not use Mr Google for “Halloween poster” and you will probably find one to print off which asks Trick & Treaters not to knock.
Similarly, your local Police web sight, if you search it, will also offer something similar.
I’ve printed such posters off in the past & it works.
As an aside, last time knocking on doors was allowed, 2019 was it, the following morning there were sweets discarded & scattered in my culdesac. What a waste of money, so disrespectful & amounts to litter. If the kids don’t like your offering, it seems they may ditch it.
