Hahaha, I wish I could just BS through this hypothetical situation like all the others on the Escapist, but this totally happened all the time when I was little. I always took two fistfuls XD
...I'm not completely heartless. I wouldn't take everything xD
As for what I was dressed as? Can't really remember most of them. They were usually some stupid monster name I made up because all I had were two generic monster masks (one was a skeleton and the other was a red hood with a faceless see through black front).
I was never very creative with costumes. I was just concerned with cool looking masks

I always leave an empty bowl outside with a piece of paper saying 'take one' so people will think some greedy bastard took them all. Saves me at least a tenner.
I was an ass at 10, but the values my mom forced on me would have been strong enough to keep me from taking more than one piece. I probably would have taken the best one piece though. Like a king sized Snickers bar in a bucket of loose M&Ms, I totally would have grabbed that bar without a second thought.
Costume? I think the best costume I ever had was a knight. All homemade, but it was a pretty sweet suit.

I would kill the occupants and take all their stuff, sell it and buy lollies with the profit!
I have never done Halloween as I live in Australia but I would take all of it. I was a shit. Now I am charming.

It would just feel wrong if I took more than one. Plus, I'd be cheating if I did that because isn't the point of trick-or-treating to canvas the neighbourhood, slowly building up the candy in your sack until you're exhausted? I, for one, will not cut corners!
I've actually been presented this situation IRL before when I was about 8, I knew that stealing was wrong back then so I only took one lollipop and went along my merry way in my Link costume. Had I encountered the same situation again at 10 I'd have done the same thing, this time while dressed up in my Roman Legionnaire costume.
All the ones I likes, which isn't really all that many.
In Australia nobody understands trick or treating. D: Me and my friend went a few years ago and came back with $30 and a jar of rock candy stuff.

Well, I never got to participate in the enjoyment of trick-or-treating but if I was in that scenario bastard 10 year old me would've taken a fistful of candy. Not the whole thing though, or else my parents would get very suspicious about how someone just happens to hand out that much goods. (yes I really was that sly)
Never actually gone trick or treating since Halloween is quite new here (still hasn't caught on completely), but I imagine I would take a fistful.
As for costumes my mom is quite skilled at making those. The ebst one she has ever made is a bear costume so I would go with that. Scary and nice looking.

Nothing, I would take nothing, when I was a kid I pretty much didn't ask for candy, I went along with my brothers but I didn't ask, I would only take candy if the person insisted otherwise no, not because it felt wrong, I just don't like gifts, don't know why, kind of odd that I did this but at the same time I didn't have any problem stealing, but whatever.
As to what I dressed up as?
Nothing, seriously I was pretty boring when I was a kid, I never wanted to dress up as anything, though to be fair I didn't want to go out and ask for candy either, though 10-year old me may have been forced to dress up as something, don't know what though probably a crappy blanket ghost or something like that.

A bowel of candy?! D:< That is a truly disturbing thought... yet, oddly appropriate for Halloween.
This occurred, I am pretty sure I grabbed several of the ones I liked... cannot remember what I might have dressed up as... I was often a little shit who didn't bother to dress up and just went around taking candy and being a wise-ass anyway.
