Use Jack’s likeness to your advantage. For Halloween event, we all know that if you give continuously give Jack candy and lollipops he’ll give you his robe and he’ll give you Jack’s face. So now you can parade around town pretending to be Jack. Every single villager that you have in your town will think that you are Jack and they’ll give you a whole bunch of candy. So that means an additional 10 pieces of candy regardless of who you can find.

You can change up your date to any day within the entire calendar of October and once you’re there you can press the home button, you can load up your save file by going to date and time changing it to anything. So anywhere from the 31st to the first and you will be able to revisit Timmy and Tommy’s shop and then get more candy. So if you want to revisit Halloween again you would literally have to travel forward a day, talk to all those villagers, get another 10 candy, rinse and repeat for as long as you want for an infinite amount of candy.
