When you buy Halloween candy, buy all the kinds you, personally, don't like. That way when it's sitting in your house for a week or so before you hand it out, you won't be tempted to eat it.
This is excellent advice. I think of it every year. This is the first year I ever FULLY followed my own self-created Halloween candy axiom.
Except for these. Because they're special and we only eat them once a year. I did put a bag of these out early just for us.
I've exerted a perfect amount of self-control over them, and the kids love them and get one every once in a while after dinner. Jim eats them like a mad man. He hated them growing up, but says these are softer and tastier than the peanut butter taffy of his youth. I think he's making up for lost time.
I digress. Back to my point.
Here's to weighing the same two weeks after Halloween that I weighed two weeks before.

That's funny - those orange and black candies are the ones that I, too, hated when I was growing up. And it seemed like every single freakin' house on the block passed them out! Yuck! I haven't tried them in years - maybe they really DID improve in flavor. Your husband has me thinking I should give them another try! Have a good day - and thanks for the great blog!
Great advice!
That is a good idea...but most of the candy I don't like, most kids probably don't like either! :)
I decided to wait until the day before this year. We have a lot going on this weekend so it will be hard to rip into the bags and scarf too much before the massive amounts of trick-or-treaters arrive at our door. :)
ps- FYI...I used to hate those too, but strangely I too now enjoy them!
I wish you had posted this about a week ago...I have already gone through half of the candy I bought for Halloween! And I hated these orange and black wrapped candy as well and am NOT going to try them anytime soon just in case I find that I too, have developed a liking for them ;)
mmm. . .I love them too.
Those are my hubby's *all-time* favorites!!
love the dog pics too - esp the one with the long nose out of focus!
Your picture actually makes them look nice?!? My grandmother always had those candies out on her table every Halloween~YUCK! I didn't like them because they were SO hard. But if they got softer I think I might like peanut butter taffy!!!
