It's almost that time of year again - time to dust off that costume, get those treat bags ready and make sure your dental premiums are paid up...Halloween candy is right around the corner! Who doesn't love Halloween? You get all that cool candy that pops up once a year and if you're too old to participate you can always live vicariously through your kids or young relatives. By that I mean help yourself to their candy while their not looking. Or simply use the undeniably righteous trick of "This (insert favorite candy here) looks a little suspicious. Let me try it and make sure it's safe to eat".
So during a time of year where we are bombarded with pumpkin spice everything, fake blood and endless piles of leaves accumulating in our yards - Let's take at look at one thing we can always count on: deliciously sugary Halloween candy. Whether you have kids of your own, young relatives or just wait until November 1st and buy all the 1/2 price candy you can find, it's hard to resist this tasty time of year.
Without further ado, my Halloween favorites in no particular order:
Snickers - It's the quintessential candy bar. Chocolate, nuts and caramel. Sure, it's a year round favorite but it is still hard to resist.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - Another classic combo: chocolate and peanut butter. Nuff said.
Almond Joy/Mounds - As you can tell, chocolate is my vice. When it is teamed up with coconut, it pretty amazing.
King size ANYTHING - Yes, every kid's dream is to score a big candy bar. As you transition to an adult that doesn't change either. Even being a variety you don't care for, the fact that it is king size makes up for it.
Baby Ruth - One of those candy bars you like, but never actively indulge in unless you have 50 bite size bars laying around at home. Nevertheless, a good Halloween score indeed.
Twix - Crispy, chocolately...caramelly. OK, that's not a word but you get the idea. Another heavenly Halloween classic.
Hershey - Yes, the ultimate iconic Halloween chocolate. Simple, plain bar that never lets you down.
York Peppermint Patties - Love them or hate them, they are still doled out year after year. I will gladly take these from the haters, more for me.
Cadbury Screme Eggs - Unique, eccentric and not all that common. Very delicious and totally worth risking diabetes for.
Although they sell it year round, I love Milky Way Midnight and thankfully my kids don't. At least then after a long night of trick or treating there bound to be at least a few minis in the bag I can claim as mine.
