Image from Anthemic Tangle Ok, yeah, I know: Halloween was so yesterday and we’re looking forward to Thanksgiving already. But I just grabbed my last bag of Halloween-themed sale candy. I couldn’t resist: it’s a big bag of Willy Wonka goodness AND it was on sale. Plus, there’s extra Halloween-themed silliness involved. ...

Photo by Anthemic Tangle One of the best things about Halloween for me is the post-Halloween candy sale. I get to try out all sorts of fun stuff while extending the Halloween spirit for as long as the candy lasts. Being a Jolly Rancher fan, I immediately gravitated to the Jolly Rancher Creepy Pops. Plus, I [...]

Filed under: Candy, Halloween The National Confectioners Association lives in a world of candy all year long. What do they do at the office to celebrate the day devoted to candy? I would expect much revelry and perhaps even the day off of work. There would be lots and lots of free candy for all employees - maybe even candy flying out of windows ...

Filed under: Wine, Dessert, Artificial Sugars, Candy, Champagne, High-fructose corn syrup, Holidays, Halloween, Fall If you're anything like me come October, you buy a big bag of Halloween candy, oh, three weeks before the actual holiday with the idea of ''getting ahead''--only to have the entire bag mysteriously disappear, leaving you to explain ...

One of my favorite candies is one you can make yourself. Commonly called Puppy Chow, this concoction - which requires little baking or time - can also be found at Christmas time with names such as Reindeer Food or Kibble.

We all have trick-or-treaters we really don’t want to give candy to. You know the ones - thug teenagers who have no business being out trick-or-treating, parents asking for candy for their third child who happens to be 2 weeks old (”Yes, she eats *** milk, formula, and a few Snickers here and there”), and [...]

Filed under: Recipes, Candy, Slashfood Ate, Sugar, Halloween When I think of Halloween, I think about candied apples, candy corn, and chocolates. This holiday drives my sweet tooth crazy! One of my favorite activities during every holiday is discovering the many festive ways to celebrate using food. With all the candy you can want at your ...

There are many food associations for the month of October and Halloween. But personally, I can think of no other recipe that rings as true to this autumnal month than baked apples. Apples themselves are an odd entity in the candy world, mainly lending themselves to either a sour apple flavoring or through the ever-popular candy [...]

When I went to the Swedish Fish Party a few weeks back, I salvaged the evening by buying a few varieties of Halloween candy I hadn’t tried before. Unfortunately, it was so overpriced I didn’t buy very much, and what I did buy got devoured on the subway on the way home. So, I didn’t [...]
