No matter how old I get, the traditional individually wrapped Halloween candy will always enhance the season. Just seeing them sit there in their Halloween boxes makes me happy. They're usually the first sign of Halloween in late August and, since I was a kid, I've always gone out of my way to make sure there's plenty to go around. As I've gotten older, I've told myself to put off indulging in massive amounts of sugar until the week of Halloween. Let's face it, with the amount of junk I cover, I'd either be on my way to the dentist or cardiologist if I actually ate it all. Most of what you see is a "one-bite-put-away" before making another appearance before the big day. But, for as quick as candies like Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins and Peppermint Patty Bats make their annual debut, they're gone just as quick and I'm left wishing I had indulged just a little bit more.
One of the newest items I've seen on shelves (when they weren't sold out) are Twix Ghosts! Following in the others' footsteps, Twix has finally changed their shape for Halloween and embraced the season. For as many as I've seen sold out, they must be wondering why they didn't do this sooner!
