Halloween candy favesFollow

So we've done the costumes and plans for the weekend, we have done the movies, but for halloween, one of the most important things to factor in is the candy intake. Now, some of you may think you're actually too grown up to partake in the eating of candy on Halloween. And to that I say, all the more for me! But everyone has their own special piece of sugar sweetness they look forward to come Oct 31. What's yours?

While I dont eat them normally, I must say I really like the individual Recess cups when it comes to treats brought home.

Oh and parents, if you havent yet, may I suggest thinking about creating a parent candy tax? Since you do so much work holding their masks and sometimes even carting them around in a wagon if youre neighborhood is spaced out, dont you think a small percentage of that candy your child brings home should be entitled to you too?

I'm with you on the peanut butter cups. Better yet, the overstuffed reeses peanut butter pumpkins or whatever novelty shape they have them in for Halloween this year. /drool

Mmmmm chocolate. Anything but Mars or that other one with cocunuts.

My all time favorite is 100 Grand. I about fainted when I was in Price Busters last year and saw a limited time Dark Chocolate 100 Grand. It was unspeakably good.

That and Twix. Mmmmm...

Anything with peanuts in it.

That and skittles. Gotta hit those houses 2 or 3 times.

When we were little, I used to just take most of my sister's candy by convincing her she didn't like certain things, same at Easter. We'd dump out our bags of candy and trade back and forth for the things we (and by we I mean I) liked best. It was years before she realized she liked nuts. I used to take everything with nuts, telling her she hated them and then being nice enough to give her my candy corn or something in exchange. Terrible, isn't it?

I'll do the same thing with Hannah.

my neighborhood is a heaven for kids when it comes to Halloween. We have kids literally trucked in from the town, and many other towns kids come here due to their areas celebrating on the weekend instead of Halloween proper. My neighbors have devised a neat little plan for the kids who actually live here. For those they dont recognize, we give out the bite sized candy. But for true neighborhood kids, each house has giant candy bars, pixi sticks, and other sweet goodies of normal or larger sized proportions waiting in the background. My son tends to come home from a jaunt of only half our neighborhood to keep him on a sugar high until Valentines day.

The past two years, one of the houses has become known as the Pixi house. I kid you not that they hand out to each neighborhood kid a pixi stick that, when stood on the ground, comes up to my waist.

I'm down with the mini-Reese's cups too. Better chocolate to peanut butter ratio than the big ones. Usually we get an extra bag each year that doesn't go to the kids.

Oh, almost forgot fuzzy peaches.

Do they still make the candy training cigarettes? I was especially fond of both kinds, the solid sugar with pink dyed simulated burning ember and the gum wrapped in paper with powdered sugar you could blow out like simulated smoke. I'm going to go way out on a limb and make the supposition that they're probably not so popular these days.

Do they still have "Big League Chew"? I used to love eating the entire package at once.

Also, six feet of bubble gum *can* be one piece of gum, no matter what my mother says.
