PurgatoryGirl Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Aside from the usual candy to eat and give out like chocolate candy bars and whatnot for Halloween, I have a creepy recommendation. I highly recommend Sour Gummy Spiders. YES, this is coming from an arachnophobic, who kills spiders constantly! The ONLY time I will ever like a spider is when I'm eating it in candy form. Otherwise, let the spider killing spree continue! 1

Ginguy Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I'm not a fan of gummy anything honestly. I do like taffy though. And Swedish Fish.

PurgatoryGirl Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Taffy was never my thing. I only ate it because it was given to me. Otherwise, I would pick another candy.

Ginguy Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I like salt water taffy, but I don't eat it very often. I'm a fan of cherry and apple.
PurgatoryGirl Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 I'm more of a chocolate candy type along with some gummy candy. Gummy spiders would be perfect for Halloween. It would help set that spooky tone to the holiday.
Ginguy Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I like chocolate. Gummy things tend to lose flavor real quick. I like to make chocolate spiders by using ganache and pretzel sticks. Kind of like a Halloween truffle.

Ginguy Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Hmm. Sounds like that would taste good. It really isn't that difficult to do. Here is a recipe for the truffle body http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/chocolate-truffles-recipe-1914564 After you make the truffles. coat them with cocoa powder, stick in the pretzel stix legs and you can use those silver cake decorator sprinkle balls for eyes if you want to get your Martha Stewart on. If you don't want to use gran marnier, you can use rum, which is surprisingly good. Best of all, you have a bottle of rum left over to spike cider with. 1
PurgatoryGirl Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 While watching The Evil Dead earlier tonight, I didn't get started on eating Gummi Spiders and Centipedes. However, I did munch on some Gummi Bananas. LOL! If the stores tried pushing more creepy crawly type of candy during Halloween, it would help to set a spooky tone for the kiddies.

I will eat any sour candy no matter what form it takes I always hand out little kit kats, snickers, and baby ruth's (I keep those around for the special chance Sloth stops by) 1
PurgatoryGirl Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 When it comes to Chocolate Candy on a budget, I like Snickers, Mars Milky Way, Twix, and Nestle Crunch the most. Now, Ghirardelli, Godiva, and Lindor Chocolate? Mmm... yum. Those are the more expensive brands, that I refuse to part with. LOL!
FoleyisGood149 Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 I have several bags of candy that I bought for trick-or-treaters before I realized that a collegiate football game I was going to attend would be happening at the same time as my towns Beggar's Night. Most of the candy is based on chocolate, but a there are some sugar candies in a mix bag. I've been eating candy corn and mellowcreme pumpkins since back in September, because my local store didn't carry any Halloween-themed Peeps this year.
Raptorpat Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 i think i bought chocolate. for some reason i decided i wouldn't mind having leftover hersey's bars even though i generally eat nonchocolate candy if i eat candy at all.
PurgatoryGirl Posted October 27, 2018 Author Posted October 27, 2018 Eating Rice Krispie Treats is the only time I will ever eat marshmallows because marshmallows make me gag. So does Candy Corn. Yuck! On my local news, they have recently reported that there is special beer being sold at a local bar, which is made to taste like Candy Corn. Some of the reporters had mixed opinions about it. Personally, I was never a beer drinker. When I used to drink, I drank either wine, or malt liquor. Pierre Smirnoff's Green Apple Twisted was a drink, that college friends KNEW I drank. Candy Corn, marshmallows, and beer? *HURL* We seriously need a gag smiley on this site.

PurgatoryGirl Posted October 27, 2018 Author Posted October 27, 2018 On my street, there are no children. It's mostly filled with retirees who spend most of their time walking and it's usually women walking their dogs. In away, it kinda sucks.

PurgatoryGirl Posted October 28, 2018 Author Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Marshmallows in Rice Krispie Treats is the only way I can eat marshmallows without gagging. Don't get me started on Peeps. Just the thought of them nauseates me. Ugh! Edited October 28, 2018 by PurgatoryGirl
Ric Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Peeps are disgusting. They were fun to put in the microwave though. I did used to like smores as well, but don't care for them anymore. Edited October 28, 2018 by Ric 1
PurgatoryGirl Posted October 28, 2018 Author Posted October 28, 2018 Just now, Ric said: Peeps are disgusting. OMG! Yes! Growing up, I always hated Peeps, White Chocolate, and those Hollow Bunnies made of White Chocolate for Easter. The gagging I tell you!
Still Me Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Hmm I don’t really have a favorite Halloween candy...but I’ll eat me the fuck out of some of these
DragonSinger Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I usually do a mix of chocolate and fruit candy like Kit Kats/Milky Ways and Starburst/Sweetarts so the kiddies have options. They're on their own this year because my lazy ass is staying in with the lights out. 1
Chapinator_X Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 There was one time I found gummy spiders (ones that weren't sour) and they were amazing, but I couldn't find them afterwards. Good stuff though. Have a bag of candy to hand out, but I personally enjoy anything that's peanut butter & chocolate, Mounds/Almond Joy, or gummy candy. Skittles, Starbursts and Jolly Ranchers are pretty good too.

Skittles, Starbursts and Jolly Ranchers are pretty good too. I've eaten both sweet and sour Gummi Spiders. If the stores sell more creepy crawly-looking candy around Halloween for the kiddies, they would probably be more of a hit. Earlier, there were some kids being driven around by their parents to do Trick Or Treating. They didn't stop at my house or anyone else' house on my street. Since there's nobody on my street with kids, it would've been a waste of time stopping at our houses, anyway. That's besides the fact, that they were coming from a different city to go Trick Or Treating.

That reminds me, I still have yet to finish up eating the rest of my other Gummi Candy. Had I not been running around like crazy earlier, I could've sat and ate them while watching some movies.
