My new favorite is candy corn and peanuts. I never liked candy corn that much until I mixed it with peanuts. When you do that, it tastes just like a Payday bar.

Oh, I just ADORE Clark Bars, and I never see them except just before Halloween! I used to get a bag and eat them all up accompanied by glasses of milk, but I now have Type II Diabetes and am trying to get both weight and blood sugar down. No more Clark Bars for me (sigh!).
Pop corn balls. It reminds me of my “Mamo”. I guess I like those little pumpkins too since I’ve been stuffing my face with them the last couple of weeks:’)
Present!
Handing out the candy, and seeing all the costumes!

The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Some links are broken. These are being worked on.
I said the last time I bought one it was 2 cents.
I forgot to tell the cashier, the last time I purchased one was about 50 years ago.
Funny you should show a picture of caramel apples. My mom once made caramel apples using our grandmother’s special hand-made caramel. Every kid in my hometown showed up at our doorstep!
Good topic... my favorite candy-bar of all time is the Clark bar... Can’t find them except at a very limited number of stores, it seems. Far better than the Butterfingers. JMHO. Also old favorites: Mary Janes and Bonomo’s Turkish Taffee. Smack it on the table to break it into biteable size bites.

READ: 2 Timothy 4:1-8
The time of my departure is at hand. —2 Timothy 4:6
Paul’s word departure in 2 Timothy 4:6 is freighted with significance. It means "loosing" or "unmooring." It’s a word he uses again when he sighs, "I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ" (Phil. 1:23).
Departure is a nautical term that suggests "shipping out"—weighing anchor, slipping the lines that tether us to this world and getting underway. It’s a marvelous metaphor for dying.
For believers in Christ, death is not an end but a beginning. It means leaving this old world behind and getting to a better place, completing the purpose for which we were made. It’s a time for joy and excitement and a hearty "Bon Voyage!"
All voyages, however, are fraught with uncertainty, especially those that pass through waters never sailed before. We don’t fear death so much as we do the passage. Who knows what dangers lie ahead?
But the journey is not uncharted. One has taken it before us, and He has returned to bring us safely through. Although we pass through the valley of the shadow of death, God is with us all the way (Ps. 23:4). His hands are on the helm as He guides us to the heavenly haven He has prepared for us (John 14:1-3).
Just about anything with chocolate but I'd have to say a plain old snickers bar would top it.

Your guests will think you slaved for hours to make and it had only taken you less than 30 min to make and 5 minutes to be ready to serve.
