Halloween candy round here...
Could be misconstrued as...
Code Word.... ;0)

Trader Joe's ..
Dark chocolate peanut butter cups... :0)

Candy corn junky here. The candy corn pumpkins are even better.

We moved into town. Have been living out of town for 25 years. No trick or treaters until this year.
Bought $30 worth of candy. Two kids came. They got a lot.
And I get the rest...
Been a little hyper today. Got a lot of stuff done, too.

Not necessarily Halloween candy, but my favorite candy is the Take 5 and KitKats are #2.

I have a real sweet-tooth. You know, the kind that hurts when one eats candy?
I piece doesn't do it. But . . . . I like candy. We've got a bag of those little green Snickers! What am I sposed to do? Let them go bad?

Having eaten a fair amount in my younger days, I almost never eat candy now.

My preference then, and now, it towards chocolate - the darker and more bittersweet, the better. Never liked the super-sweet stuff. Back in the day, Hershey's Special Dark was a good grab. So were Reese's peanut butter cups. Always found stuff like Milky Ways unpleasantly sweet.

Oh, and candy corn? Truly vile. The only confection that I find even less appealing is Peeps.

Now, tell us what you really think about candy corn, Skip. 

I dunno about the rest of Canada, but I don't know what candy corn and  peeps are.    Thank my lucky stars?? 

Anyhoo, after coffee and icing some sort of "inflammation" or other I'll consult the all-knowing Google. Knowledge is power??

Heath bars and Butterfinger. Yum!

Sincere best wishes in keeping it that way.  Canada has a habit of importing (or maybe the U.S. has a habit of exporting) many of our worst ideas to Yon Frozen North.

At least, that's how it was in the days BT (Before Tarriffs). 

Right now I'm working through a large bag of Lindor "assorted extra dark chocolate truffles".
Almost $20 but I average about 1/da.
Love to set one on a Danish butter cookie and nuke it.
The sum is greater than its parts.

Iceland is a place I've found very good local chocolates.
I'd go back, just for the chocolate.
It wouldn't do to buy it online.

Not that the raw ingredients can be grown there, but It does seem reasonable that a nation that considers Hákarl a delicacy would want something more pleasant as a chaser.

One of our Port Clyde kids was the envy of us,all.
Hot lunch was 25 cents at school (good kitchen with 3 local ladies doing great,traditional frying and baking.Homemade beans and casseroles.
But our hero would stop in the early-opening Port Clyde General Store and buy 5 Peanut Butter cups with his quarter.

He was a he!! of a drummer.

I'll bet your school's hot lunch was terrific!

What's the latest on the rebuild of the Port Clyde General Store?

I always thought that it helped to have mothers of students do the cooking.
It was basically like eating at home,Skip and my Mom was a good cook,too.

Port Clyde General Store rebuild now has the involvement of Colby College.Not sure of the particulars,but am very pleased with their interest.

Speaking of hot lunch, I never had hot lunch till I was a freshman in High School. Lunch was 55 cents. Also never had mashed potatoes & gravy till then. Grew up in an Italian household and we had pasta, not potatoes. I thought those mashed taters and gravy from the cafeteria were the best thing I ever shoved down my throat. Their spaghetti………Not so much!!!
Slammer!!!

Huh...
At our elementary school..

Every Wednesday was spaghetti day...no kid missed that one...

We had a local Lady..Who got up extra early every Wednesday..n made the meat sauce from scratch....

Every kid got hot lunch thos day n even...2nds.... ;0)

i get the lindor chocolate truffles mixed bag because i know we are not going to have any treaters.... so someone has to do away with them

I do enjoy a quality, dark chocolate.
For me, Neccos, Smarties, Fifth Avenue Bars, Zagnut Bars and a bowl full of candy corn and peanuts. Tastes like a Payday!

Ooh! I forgot about the Kandy-corn and peanuts mix.
That's what's been missing in my diet!

I remember paying 35 cents for hot lunch in elementary school. The lunch ladies cooked everything onsite, and it was all very good. 

Spaghetti and pizza days were celebrated! Although i must say, the pizza was unique, unlike any pizza you would buy at a restaurant, but still very good.

Heh elementary...Factory grilled cheeses...

Piled high...
I remember the Lunch Lady's n there aprons...

I think they all had special hearts for all the kids..

I miss those cafeteria Ladies!!! We even had breakfast. Us football players would have breakfast every morning . Toast with peanut butter or cinnamon toast was 3 cents a slice. Chocolate milk was a nickel. For less than 50cents we’d get 10 pieces of toast and 2 chocolate milks. Carbing up for practice!!!
Slammer!!!
