Holidays
by Jennifer on October 20, 2008
Halloween is creeping up on us again.
Every year around this time I get a sense of nostalgia for the innocent, safe Halloweens of my childhood when we were allowed to run amok in our suburban 1970's neighborhood.
Armed with pillowcases (little plastic pumpkin candy buckets were for babies!) and our best friends, we would spend hours Trick-or-Treating before returning home to compare our loot.
Dumped unceremoniously into piles on the floor, we would put our favorite candy aside and trade the remaining with each other, all the while consuming obscene amounts of chocolate and sugar.
Ah, the good old days!

Into my favorites pile went:
Smarties
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Zots
Bit-O-Honey
Tootsie-Rolls
Lemonheads
Pixie-Stix
Snickers
Kit-Kats
To trade or give away:
Almond Joy
3 Musketeers
Dum Dums
Black Licorice
Butterfingers
Candy Corn
Boston Baked Beans

When I was younger, I loved when I got the chewy Sweet tarts.

I've never liked Almond Joy - don't like shredded coconut. But Reese's Peanut Butter cups have always been a favorite!
Megan,
Yes, I think I remember those. Yum!
