I was going to do something healthy and/or not candy for Halloweeny this year. I was in the costco yesterday and I had those dried fruit packets, along with trail mix in my cart when DH called about something else. I mentioned I had our Halloween stuff--he wanted to know what it was and called me a doofus for wanting to do that. "We'll be THAT house to do the weird stuff??" (Even though my one neighbor does toothbrushes and the other does pretzels.)
So, I put back my healthy attempts and we settled on Peppermint Patties. It's not the worst ever, but it isn't the best either. At least they'll have minty fresh breath!!
Re: OK, so I caved
If you had done that the kids would have remembered to NOT go to that house next year. Its like A Christmas Story when Ralphie and Randy get socks - they just look at each other like WTF and throw them over their backs.
Good move Derk.
I actually had those in my cart too--I kept thinking--if we don't get that many kids, I'll enjoy eating them....but Dh nixed that idea too.
I would've come back Derky.
Next year, be strong! Don't let the peer pressure get to ya!
That's the crummy thing--he doesn't "mind" Peppermint Patties, but whereas I LOVE dark chocolate, his big vice is white chocolate.
I think it's all a conspiracy to keep me plump.
