Carole wants a peek into my dream Hallowe’en trick or treat bag. Here goes:
1. Peppermint Patty. I’ll pop ’em in the freezer to make them extra good.
2. Three Musketeers. Also good in the freezer.
3. Tootsie Pops. If I were the owl, my answer would be “two licks to get to the center”. I just love crunching down on a Tootsie Pop.
4. Tootsie Rolls. C’mon, what would a Tootsie Pop be without a Tootsie Roll center?
5. Caramel corn. I’m not sure if that’s what she calls it, but Dana makes the yummiest popcorn. She used to leave little baggies of it in my UNM mailbox to surprise me. I’d sure be happy if she’d come on over and drop me a bag in person!
6. Apple cider donuts. Okay, no one is REALLY going to put donuts into my trick or treat bag, but they’re perfect for a Hallowe’en party.
7. 100,000 dollar bar. Yeah, it has a new name, but it’s always 100,000 dollar bar to me.
8. Butterfinger. A taste of one will last me all year long.
9. Heath bar. Those were my favorite in high school.
10. Smarties. I’ll play Dan Bern’s tribute to them while I eat ’em.
We had an old neighbor who would offer trick or treaters a pop or a roll of nickels. I loved getting that roll of nickels so, so much! Pretty generous of him, no?
What was your favorite treat as a kid?
I keep Peppermint Patties in the freezer, too! A great treat — especially in the summer (preferably when you forget they’re in there and get a lovely surprise!).
I didn’t know they changed the name of the $100,000 bar. And I totally forgot about those. They were one of my favorites.
How could i forget tootsie rolls!?!?
Apple cider donuts are the best!
I love $100,000 bars. They were my favorite as a kid and I seldom see them now.
tootsie rolls are my weakness. i recently found a recipe to make them myself (on pinterest). my mum loves heath bars. both combined remind me of autumn.
i remember making carmel corn (with my dad) to hand out one year.. i’m still amazed we had any to hand out, we couldn’t stop eating it even though it was almost burning our hands!
