Friday Food Story ~ Halloween Candy

Halloween is less than a week away, and that means....LOTS of candy! Candy everywhere you look! But remember back when you were a kid and you went Trick-or-Treating and there was always a house or two that handed out terrible candy, or only gave out one piece?!? Seriously, what was that about? As a kid, we love this holiday for all the yummy, good candy we get one night a year, so why do the adults have to go get the cheapest possible candy they can find? Yes, I realize candy is expensive (quite ridiculously in fact), but think back to when you were a kid....did you really want that mystery candy in the waxy paper wrapper? Who really knew what that was anyway? It always got thrown away from my sack of loot. And the no name lolly pops? Forget it! They had a party in the trash can with the mystery candy. So now that my hubby and I are *mostly* adults, we have to make sure it is done right! No "child molester candy" as we call it. We get the good stuff, the stuff WE want to eat when we have more candy leftover than Trick-or-Treaters that visit our home. And we aren't stingy either...big handfuls get dumped into the kiddies' bags. We like to be the "good house" that the kids remember later that night, the house they look forward to going to again next year. And whenever we have kids, we will be the best house in the neighborhood in their eyes!

Happy Halloween everyone! Wishing you a safe and spooktacular holiday!
