Musings Of The Halloween Candy Caldron!

October 30, 2008

I was filling up the Halloween Candy Cauldron tonight, and just stopped to think what might be going on deep down inside.

I put M & M's, some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and a mixture of Hersheys miniature candy bars.

Can't you just picture those Snicker's bars huddling in the bottom "snickering" at all the other candy's? I mean, who knows what Snicker's Bars could get up to in the bottom of that deep cauldron? How does a Snicker's Bar sound when it snickers? Do you suppose it leaks out just a bit of that caramel stuff? Maybe the peanuts tickle it's tummy, and that's what starts all the snickering. Maybe they are snickering because someone's wrapper is coming undone. Maybe they pulled a good joke on the Mr. Goodbars.

Those M & M's could really get into mischief too.....they could really pull off some good stuff and never get blamed for it. I mean those blue guys, there's always so many of them. How would you know who to blame for sitting on and smashing all the Twix Bars? And the red guys, they are constantly blushing, so how would you know if they were guilty of eating the Hershey Bars or not? Those green guys, they are constantly envious of everyone, so they are probably trying to do away with the Milky Way bars. And speaking of Milky Ways, isn't that up in the sky somewhere? Those orange M & M's are really the only ones that fit the holiday season this time of year....unless of course, you bought those goulish ones that Shyla bought. That leaves the brown ones, and I think those are probably the most troublesome as when you drop them they seem to roll away for their own adventures. If one of those little guys gets loose in the cauldron, we might have a real dramatic situation on our hands tomorrow night.

I really don't think the Reese's Cups like those M & M's to start with, as I've seen them avoid each other.....the Reese's cups like to stay at the top of the pile...the Hershey bars report that the Reese's cups have delicate skin and don't want to take the chance of being even the slightest bit squashed. Those M & M guy's can weasle ther way most anywhere ( on a side note, they like the under cushion of the couch!), and in the cauldron on Halloween night, they just might end up with Frankenstein, or worse yet, some Star Wars creature. (No, I don't take comments from the Galactic gallery!) Somehow, I think the M & M's don't fit the image of Frankenstein.

Who knows what little goblins will choose for their goody bags tomorrow night, but I bet it won't be the Hershey's Dark Chocolate bars....those are so mysterious and dark. Perfect for Halloween if you ask me....I mean, who wants a bright and cheery Skittle when you can have a dark Hershey bar? Fits the season.....

Those little packages of Smarties are a bit smug if anyone asks my opinion....I mean really, has anyone seen even one Smartie graduate from High School? What make's them so smart anyway?

I like those Butterfinger bars, they seem to always be falling all over everyone. Guess you could say, they really have a bunch of 'Butter Fingers".

My favorite ones are the miniature Cherry Mash bars. They look like little piles of who knows what, but they could really do a number with the "Monster Mash".

I have held a bag of Crunch bars back just in case we have a candy situation and need some help in a "Crunch"!

Enough of this foolishness tonight. Must get my foot on ice.

Everyone be nice to the little goblins, and don't eat all the candy.

Love you.
