Can I Trade This In For Something Else?

Here is a list compiled by Serious Eats of the most disappointing Halloween treats (comments added by me). Just a disclaimer: these aren't my choices as the worst, so if you pass these out, don't shoot the messenger. :)

1. Toothbrushes: Oral hygiene and Halloween do not mix

2. Raisins: Wrinkled grapes do not a good treat make

3. Candy Corn: (as a candy corn fan, I disagree on this one)

4. Smarties and Necco Wafers: taste like dust, not a good thing

5. Dum Dum Lollipops: I agree on this one as I find them dangerous for young kids

6. Apples: Bad for a lot of reasons

7. Tootsie Rolls: (chocolate wannabe)

8. Hard candies: again, I agree as I find them dangerous for young kids

9. Laffy Taffy: it's usually hard and sticks to the package and does not make you laughy.

10. Anything fun sized: one bite is not fun.

I'll be back later with a list of treats kids will run to your house so fast to get that they will trample over smaller children for.

Not your average Halloween candy

For your Halloween treating fun, Hershey's has new flavors of Hershey kisses. We have very easily located the Candy Corn (which are adorable just to look at) and the Pumpkin Spice. Supposedly they have also released Caramel Apple kisses, but no one I know of has been able to find them.

We taste tested the 2 we found. We really liked the Candy Corn, they were a little sweeter, but not too sweet and with a slight candy corn flavor. The pumpkin spice on the other hand, well, they are a bit much for the taste buds. I love all things pumpkin, but the flavor can be a bit overpowering. The color is pretty though, so I might save them for decorating Thanksgiving cakes and treats.

I will keep you posted on my hunt for a Caramel Apple bag!
