My son looked in the bowl of halloween candy tonight and wanted to know who bought butterfingers and why? Dumb question, because I like them. More for moi.

I’m working on a bag of butterfingers myself – haha! (and I know we never get any trick or treaters so there are no excuses!)

My DH bought three bags of candy at Sam’s Club: a bag of Dum Dums, a bag of Skittles and Starbursts and a bag of mini chocolate candy bars. As he held on to the bag of candy bars he told me we would give away the other two bags first and only open the candy bars if we ran out of the other two.

Well, of course! The whole point is to buy candy you like and hope that there are fewer trick-or-treaters than candy!

Pumpkin leaf bags are still popular, but we only had 4 kids come to the door last night. Since DH is diabetic and I never know if we will have many trick-or-treaters, I buy the bags of individual potato chips, Nachos, & Doritos to pass out. Those do not seem to sit around like candy. As far as pumpkins, I did not have to buy any. The squirrels planted enough seeds that I was able to grow 2 in my front yard – a small one grew up the porch railing and a larger one in front of my bush peony.

Come to Australia if you want to be rid of the Trick or Treaters, as we had none, zip, nada! Halloween has not really taken off here, although the marketing people at the supermarkets bought things in for it. They even have managed to find some American jack-o-lantern pumpkins to sell – at $4 a Kilogram!!! What did you pay for your pumpkin? I refused to pay over $20 for a decent pumpkin, so have given up on the whole Halloween thing. I tried really hard to keep it going when my kidlets were small, but now that I am a GrandMa, I have let it slide. It just gets too hard to keep up American Holidays in a foreign land. This year will be the first year since I immigrated in 1973 that I will not be doing Thanksgiving. Not that we are not thankful anymore, but my Thanksgiving celebrations kind of blew out to a giant dinner party each year with up to 25 guests, a fleet of crock-pots to do all the vegetable dishes in, and a lot of work. It has been fun, but this year we have my daughter’s wedding on the 19th of Nov. and just so much else going on that I don’t want to even think about trying to do Thanksgiving this year. Perhaps one of my kidlets will take on the challenge…

We don’t really get many trick or treaters. We had only 8 the whole night. I’m trying to be extra careful about caffeine and sugar intake, so no coffee or hot chocolate or candy for a little while until I get my habits under control.

I bought a big bag at Sam’s that had Butterfingers and even though I like them of the four that were in the bag those were the first one that husband passed out to the few trick or treaters. I do like them but like Baby Ruths better.

The Camp Loopy colorways are really fun. I think they are appropriate for the names.

As for Halloween candy: the beauty of those little chocolates are that they are automatically portion controlled! I keep a glass jar with Hershey miniatures all year round. That way my family can indulge without going through a big candy bar.

Remember, dark chocolate is healthy for our hearts, so eat some every day.
