Hellooo sugary goodness. And, while we're talking pure sugar, let's not forget Rockets - I believe that you have these in the states, however you call them Smarties.<br /><br />Which is another point I have to bring up. Although the plain M&Ms will do, Canadian Smarties are far, far superior candy coated chocolate. Have you had these? Plain M&Ms lack a little.... Je ne sais pas.. flair? Please tell me you've tried these tasty treats.<br /><br />Let's talk the basics in candy land, friend, and sing the praises of anything Willy Wonka. Nerds? Yes, please! Runts? I need that daily serving of fruit, and some weird people will even trade you their strawberries for bananas. I like those people and how wrong their tastebuds are because it benefits me. Chewy gobstoppers? Oh hells, yes. My tastebuds are tingling right now!<br /><br />But in my opinion, the treasure of a pillowcase jammed full of candy on Halloween night? <br /><br />Laffy Taffy. Not only does it pack the most powerful punch of artificial flavouring possible, but they have JOKES on the package. JOKES, people! You get a TRICK and a TREAT. The epitome of Halloween!<br /><br />I am throwing a halloween party, as per usual, this year, which means my costume has taken a back seat to getting everything else ready. This means I'm going as a creepy baby doll with fantastic make-up, and a lackluster costume.

My husband has been relentlessly talking about "we've gotta get the candy", "where should we get the candy", and "we have to hurry up and get the candy". I told him today (being a scrooge and annoyed at all the candy talk for DAYS on end, that it wouldn't be the worst thing if we just turned off the lights and didn't give any out. "We live in Chicago, these kids will get PLENTY of candy", I tried to reason.... He won. I bought a 3 lb bag of candy that advertised "over 240 pieces!" on the bag. I think he's mad that I don't even know what is IN the bag. Ha ha ha. Well, you win JON!!!!! And this comment doesn't even answer your question! OOPS!

My brother and I respectfully declined. It actually made me a little sad.
