    There are only three candies I cannot pass up

    3. Buttered popcorn jelly belly's.

    I thought I was the only person on earth who loves these. I once received a half pound bag of JUST buttered popcorn flavor as a birthday gift.

    I used to hate candy corn as a kid and used to throw them away in anger.

    Now I :heart: candy corns so hard!

    I'm so glad England doesn't have the Haloween hype. Otherwise I would be twice the size.
    I didn't actually know that that is what candy corn is. I had visions of popcorn coated in something. What is it? A jelly kind of thing?

    I'm pretty sure you could decorate fruit with decoration icing and call it a Haloween treat? :tongue:
    Oh! Or find some cute jelly/jello moulds and decorate?

    Edit: decorate the jelly/jello... Not the mould

    Candy corn is an abomination in the eyes of all other candies. Some people mix it with peanuts, but all that does is ruin the peanuts.

    You are wrong.

    Mixing peanuts with candy corn = salted nut roll!

    Poor deluded people. I think the cold up North has frozen your brain.

    Found this on Pinterest for you! Some effort may have to be applied, but it all looks pretty good!

    Here in Ohio we make buckeyes which is a peanut butter & confectioners sugar combo dipped in chocolate... AMAZE-BALLS but about 150 calories a piece! Just like the Reese's anything, oh boy sinful and can't stop with it... LOVE LOVE LOVE PB!

    my mom used to make those at Christmas, she used shredded coconut and chopped walnuts in hers as well. they were so good.

    Halloween has never really been as big of a deal here in the Uk. You get the odd thing like ghost marshmallows and lollypops, but I don't know, halloween candy is no different to the candy you can buy any other time of the year. It just has a different name, perhaps, and a few different food colourings. I prefer christmas stuff anyway myself, if I am to eat seasonally themed chocolate etc.

    Hey now. I am poor, cold and Northern, however I share your disdain for candy corn. Don't stereotype me, eh?

    OK.. SO, you managed to keep your brain. I'll let you slide. :wink:

    November 1 is my "Black Friday", the day after Halloween when everything goes on 50% off sale.

    I've actually got a schedule I've refined over the years. On Nov 1, purchase favorites for half off. Not TOO many though, because in another week or two, these items will get marked down 75% off. Then I load up on the things I really really like. Last year, things eventually got to 90% off and I basically cleared the shelf, except for things I didn't like, e.g. peeps.

    Here's my Halloween Candy policy:

    Halloween is a cheat day, as in all bets are off, no calorie counting. I only take a few real cheat days a year, so doing this once in a while isn't a problem.

    We buy halloween candy to pass it out to trick or treaters. The bags stay closed until trick or treat starts. During trick or treat time, I eat whatever candy I want. At the end of trick or treat time, the last trick or treater gets all the rest of the candy. We have no leftovers.

    The amount of damage I can do in 2 hours isn't really that bad. I can't eat enough candy without getting sick to make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. I might be up a little for a few days, but it goes away quickly.

    Candy just isn't one of the things that we buy for ourselves. I don't like wasting the calories on it on a daily/weekly/monthly basis (I'd rather have ice cream) and DH doesn't eat it even when he gets it for Christmas or Easter. He gets a bag from his mom and it sits for months. I think he still has Easter candy. I love candy! But only getting it for holidays makes it more special.

    (I know, its a serious answer on a not-so-serious thread. And candy corn is gross. Give me the Reese's!!)

    I think Halloween candy is probably my worst temptation, which is silly because most of it is not even all that good.

    I don't think my parents were awful re: food when I was a kid (and definitely don't blame them for my weight problems) but man...so many posts about the kids' Halloween candy. A lot of my friends with kids have giant bowls full of it for many months after Halloween, and ration it out slowly to their kids and sneak a bit themselves...

    in my house growing up, nope. I would trick or treat for many hours, get a massive haul of candy, give away the Skittles and Mary Jane junk to my dad and eat ALL of the Snickers, Reeses, Butterfingers, etc. I never felt sick and I guarantee that candy never lasted a week.

    It's not Halloween unless these are involved:

    YEAAAAAAAAAH!!! I eat the crap outta those. I can eat 11 of them and be at my calorie goal for the day if I don't eat anything else.

    I "allow" my hubby and boys to buy candy and keep it in the house. However, they cannot tell me about it and it must be stored in the outside deep freezer where I cannot see it on a daily basis. Out of sight, out of mind for me ...

    There are only three candies I cannot pass up

    1. Cadbury chocolate filled eggs
    2. A chocolate orange
    3. Buttered popcorn jelly belly's.


    Oh, these are so awesome.

    No advice, really, sigh.

    I'm already preparing myself with a nightly mantra before bed time..."it is NOT ok to steal candy from the kids treat bags when there are school. It is NOT ok.., not ok..."
    I am DREADING the days following halloween lol

    Lucky I don't really like candy corn anymore. Yuk, But Reese's PB cups, I can't resist. I always try to avoid Halloween candy, but when the holiday comes, it is hard to stay strong.

    I saw one post about making pumpkin soup or even Pumpkin muffins would be a nice treat without the candy intake. My issue I would do that, and then still eat the candy too. Argh.
