Leftovers!

This is what we had left over, which begs the bloggy question of what your favorites happen(ed) to be.  Did you eat peanut butter cups until they got the better of you when you were a kid?

This wound up almost two full Twizzler tubs, one of which is already well on its way down to halfway.  Poor Sadie’s belly.  They’re in the closet now, which should slow things down.

I was giving big handfuls to the kids who deigned to show.  And I have big hands, so I think that meant at least five apiece.

As for me, I suggested to the kids that they avoid eating any Baby Ruths or Almond Joys.  I also seem to have developed a thing for Milky Ways, partly because they are easier on my tormented teeth than the ones with peanuts, or the Butterfingers.  I’ve never been big on the bars that have cookies inside, though they’re okay, so I leave those for Deb.  For me it’s all about the nuts and caramel (thus my love of Paydays, not represented here), and to a lesser degree peanut butter or coconut fillings.  I’m also as happy to have a chocolate-free candy, be it like the Payday, or like a Twizzler or jelly candy like Sunkist Fruit Gems, jelly beans, etc.  Long as they’re not too hard on the teeth or too sour.

Next year it’s either buy less candy or advertise.  Seeing the Twizzler tubs and inspired by knowing the 2 year old boy upstairs is allergic to chocolate, next year I’ll have to get some of those to add to the mix.

1. Ok first, being allergic to chocolate?  That SUCKS.  My handsdown favorite is Almond Joys, followed closely by Reese’s PB Cups.  We have two giant bowls FULL to the brim with candy this year, which is a result of Ryun taking them further than usual, and Katherine not quitting half way through the ‘hood as she did last year.  My father tried to convince the girls this year that because he “let them” use his neighborhood, they had to give him 10 % of their candy.  Neither Emily or Katherine fell for it, LOL.

2. I love Snickers and Almond Joy and have never cared overly for 3 Musketeers or KitKats. The rest of them are just good, it’s not like you can go that far wrong with candy. I made Mom buy me a whole bag of Berries & Creme Starburst which are sooooo gooood. I’m also fond of Peanut Butter M&M’s, which it seems like very few people eat. Dad didn’t even know there was such a thing until I mentioned it recently.

3. Wow, you actually have candy leftover?  We usually suffer the onslaught of nonstop ‘trick-or-treaters’ from 5pm to 7:30/8pm.  I counted one year and came up with a total of around 320 kids (of varying sizes) who came to our doorstep looking for treats!  Sometimes we even have to take some of our son’s candy that he just collected, and hand that back out to the kids. Yeesh!  The least we’ve gotten was around 150 (because it was raining).
