..."The Most": A Cavalcade of Ingenious Halloween Candy '13...

What can be said about the joyous cacophony of colored treats that is Halloween?  It brings back memories of what was possible as we would go around a gaggle of stranger's houses doing exactly that which were told explicitly not to do.  In fact, unheard of today, is that one of my favorite scores on Halloween was this older lady that lived on Aristocrat Street in Garden Grove.  For at least the two times I was able to hit my best friend's street, she'd have freshly made caramel balls.  I mean, fresh: dripping with caramel and butter and a wee bit of salt, they would spot mark the paper bags they came in.  And, get this, she would complain that kid's didn't like it.  Didn't like it?!  I can still taste them in my mind today.  She didn't know that she was a queen among dross.  That thing was gone by the end of the walk, including my little buddies that didn't know heaven in a paper bag.  That doesn't sound right, does it?

Here's candy that I try to round out each year with my boys: interactive candy is the bestest.  Yes Virginia - each picture links to where you can order!  HTMLroolz<<<!
