Halloween is fast approaching!! And I have to say that, compared to last year, this year's Halloween candy is lame. Thank God Just Born offered something new with their chocolate covered Peeps pumpkins. The rest of the crew just served up the same old boring stuff. I couldn't even find the mini Reese's peanut butter pumpkins this year. Hershey, hast thou forsaken me?
Target, however, has a line of candy corn in flavors including green apple, strawberry and loads of others. I picked a couple to try. Pumpkin Pie:
These taste just like candy corn with a hint of pumpkin. Not enough pumpkin as far as I'm concerned. If you like candy corn, I think you'll like these. If you're looking for pumpkin pie, look somewhere else.
Now this is a good idea - chocolate covered candy corn:
I like the way it looks better than the way it tastes. Although chocolate covered candy corn is better than naked candy corn, it's too sweet for me. But a great idea!
I thought I'd also try chocolate covered toffee candy corn:
YIKES! This was just terrible. I like toffee, but definitely not toffee candy corn. Remember our old adage - just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it. This was really terrible. Yipes!
Whoa - look at this crazy marshmallow candy corn from Whitman's:
I have to admit - it's festive as hell.
And, shockingly - it's pretty good! Now - you have to consider that it's just marshmallow covered in a sugary candy shell, but the marshmallow was really creamy. I am now diabetic.
These are some weird things I found in World Market - they are made in Ireland:
This might be one of the weirdest candies ever. They have a really strange "tutti frutti" smell - so I was kind of scared of them. But they were oddly good. Weird green candy eyeballs from Ireland - what more could you want for Halloween?
Yahoo!!!! The holidays are beginning! Are you having fun?
