I have to admit, I was glad to see Halloween come and go. It’s not my favorite holiday, although we do buy candy and hand it out to the neighborhood kids…of which there were quite a few this year, by the way. They came, they got candy, and we had just a little of the good stuff left. I made sure that I gave out the boxes of Dots and the Tootsie rolls to the little goblins and saved a few of the good ones for us. And by good ones, I mean chocolate of course!
And then it happened. I was in Walgreens buying my weekly ad specials when I spied the sign. 75% off Halloween candy. And I fell for it. Totally. Come on home with me Snickers, little Baby Ruth, and you cute little Crunchs (dark, even which my hubby will love me for!).
I was just telling my hubby that my thighs are getting fat and look at what I do to make that situation worse! Oh well, what’s a few little bite sized morsels of chocolatey goodness here and there, right? Tis the season…and it’s only going to get worse. Did you fall for it too?
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Hi Rhoda,
I too have a weakness for chocolate! But you can tell by looking at me-I would have never guessed that you did!
Dark chocolate is supposed to be good for you!
We had more trick or treaters than usual this year too…maybe cause it was on Friday?
Have a great day!
Believe it or not, I’m not a big candy fan. Even as a kid I’d take a Krispy Kreme doughnut any day over a candy bar. That and the fact that I’ve gained weight and I have to be careful not to overload on sweets because it affects my blood sugar dramatically, kept me from indulging. But you go right ahead and enjoy your treats!
Believe it or not I resisted! And I did it by not looking into the three Publix shopping carts piled over the top and by telling myself it was all non-chocolate candy and therefore not worth the calories! Be sure to walk around as you eat your morsels and it will totally negate any calories.
Yes I fell for it. 75% off at Target. I did put it away though to put in stockings at Christmas. 🙂
Oh, yeah… only I buy lots and lots BEFORE the trick or treaters come. Then I’m “forced” to eat it. This year, I bought a separate bag for me (Hershey’s Kisses with almonds) because I was having a bad hair day. 😉

Oh Rhoda, you are so right when it comes to chocolate and thighs, right there with ya. The sale makes it impossible to resist, my will power isn’t that great.
Have a great weekend and enjoy those morsels!

Yes, I too bought lots of clearance candy. My daughter is in our local Christmas parade next month and she will throw out candy. I figured that it is better to buy in bulk after Halloween so then I have not spent a ton, the kids are happy, and I get to pick out the best pieces just for me. — Brandi
Luckily I don’t care for candies much. I don’t like that they get stuck in between my teeth. I prefer ice creme. And during holidays I kind of carry on as usual with 2 pints of ice creme a week! We all have our little weaknesses, right. If you can even call it that.
I know! I hate when there is left over candy! I fall for it everytime! You don’t like Halloween? I love seeing all the sweet ghosts and goblins being silly and having fun…. That is my favorite part of Halloween….It’s a time to be a kid again! 🙂
We bought lots beforehand since we didn’t know how many spooks to expect. We had 90! (And ahem, we still had candy left over!)
Are you kidding? Who doesn’t love chocolate, I have been going through my grandkids bags!
Oh yeah!! I awake each and every morning and the Halloween candy “leftovers” scream my name until I answer!!
Each year I over buy because I’m so afraid of running out of candy for these little goblins ~ too many leftovers for my satisfaction. I’m taking them in to our Youth Director at church for use in the program. Or, he can pass them on to our Children’s Director ~ anywhere but HERE – calling my name!!
Blessings,
Sher
Well, I didn’t fall for it, but if Krispy Kreme ever has a sale, I’m done for. Plus, I’ve got little ones at home. I can eat their candy! 🙂
You’re just thinking ahead toward Christmas and stocking stuffers, right Rhoda? (wink wink)
Love your new background, by the way. It’s gorgeous!

Chocolate is right up there with Krispy Kreme in addictive qualities.
And at 75% off??? OH MY!
arrghhh!! Yes, we too have soooo much candy left! We bought five bags of sale candy at target and then didn’t get a single trick or treater!! So in the pantry it sits, better their than on my thighs!!
Nope I didn’t…and I always buy candy that appeals to the kiddies and not me. Oh I love me some Snickers, Nestle’s Crunch I could go on and on lol but just two of those and I get a big old pimple, chocolate and me do not get along, but oh do I love it.
Thighs…the bane of getting older I guess 🙁
Have a great week-end,
Kathy 🙂
Chocolate should never be counted in your daily calorie intake 😉
I can “fall” for it even in the “spring”. My name is Frannycakes and I am a chocoholic……….And the people said….

Did somebody say CHOCOLATE?!?!?! hehehe! Girl, I love chocoalte too, but I have been trying to be good since I last made one of those chocolate coffee mug cakes and ate it ALL! But now I am craving it like mad! You little stinker! LOL!
Have a great weekend!
