My Top Five Halloween Treats from My Childhood. 

          So Halloween is here and there are a lot of different 
        themed treats around for the occasion. This made me 
    think of the types of sweets (candy) that I got when trick 
or treating when I was little. I thought I would share with 
you my favourite sweets I use to get as a child! What's your favourite 
Halloween treat? Be sure to let me know in the comments!

#1 Fun Size Chocolate bars:
I loved these, they were so cure and small and it was great because it
meant you had an excuse to eat more of them because of how small they were. I would still happily eat these today!

#2 Fruity Pops 

Fruity pops were my favourites, especially the blackcurrant ones. And the ones that had sherbet in the middle. You wouldn't go trick or treating without getting one of these. I remember one year having more than five. I still eat these now though and they are just as amazing as they use to be.

#3 Chocolate eyeballs

These were brilliant but not because they were good. They were so bad they were good. They were made with the same chocolate they use in advent calendars but they tasted cool because they were eyeballs. I sometimes wish I could eat one because although they're bad, they're strangely good. 

Deadmin's First Halloween

This year is the first year I get to hand out candy on Halloween. Now that may not sound fun to some people, but to me, I've been looking forward to it all year. Why? Because I don't enjoy parties but I do like decorating and seeing people smile, o you can imagine my delight when I took charge of things this year!

First I decorated the house. This was a few weeks back and I don't have a lot to work with, Not much sticks to anything I have by the front door, but I think it all looks pretty good. Even the weathering adds a neat touch!

The Candy

Next I went and I bought the candy. I wanted to buy things that I knew the majority of kids could eat so I bought some options that were gluten and soy free as well as nut free and dairy free. So, for my lovely trick-or-treaters, I bought: Fluffy Stuff Cotton Candy Pops, Pixie Sticks, Double Lollis and Creamy Caramels, plus soe cute little skull rings.  I also bought Kit-Kat, Caramilk, Aero, Smarties, Coffee Crisp, Starburst, Skittles Original and Skittles Sours.




The Costume

I didn't get very adventurous honestly, I have no idea what to do. Though, I did have a pair of black wings in my closet from grade nine and I have a cute black dress. So I decided I'd be a dark fairy. 

I don't think I even have to worry much about my make up since a friend of mine bought be this beautiful mask. He said if I didn't wear it the kids would go running from my door screaming when they saw m face. How charming.
