It Monday and for me that means it's time for the Express yourself meme, check out others post here.
This week's question is what candy were you most happy to see in your trick or treat bag as a kid?
For me, it was always candy apples. Not many people gave these out, but those who did, I adored. I think it probably was, in part, the rarity of this item that made it so appealing and it just felt like a real Halloween treat.
Now, I would be a lot more reluctant about candy apples, as the last few years there has been a trend for people to candy onions instead, giving you a very nasty surprise, when you bite into them.
I can see the funny side, as most will have a mixture of candy apples and candy onions, so that it's a kind of lucky dip as to what you get.
A friend of mine had both her children come home with what they thought was a candy apple. One bit in and got what she'd expected, while the other bit in and got an onion. You have to feel sorry for the little cutie that got the onion. She must have been so disappointed.
What's your favourite trick or treat candy and have you ever had some nasty trick or treat candy surprise?
Love and hugs, Joss xxx
I actually didn't do a whole lot of Trick or Treating as a kid, but I did get one of those popcorn ball things. Man, that was good! :)
ReplyDeletelol, not sure I have had one of those but anything with popcorn in it has to be scrummy right?
Deleteawww. I feel bad for the kid who bit into the onion. I think that's a cruel joke for a child to experience. :(
ReplyDeleteMy fave Halloween candy was and still is Smarties. :)
oh Smarties, I forgot about smarties. I love them.
DeleteI also like candy apples, but think the candied onion idea sucks. :-/
ReplyDeleteI know way to spoil candy apples right!!
DeleteHi Joss! I loved candy apples when I was a kid, caramel ones even better! It was rare that anyone gave them out and when they did, my parents wouldn't let me eat them because they were afraid they might have been tampered with. I grew up in the big city and parents were always afraid of things like that. She would make it up to me by buying apples and caramels and making me a special batch. :) Throw away one...make six. It was a fair enough deal to me at the time... lol
