Candy Crazed

Well fellow blog followers it’s that time of year, the one and only time that it is acceptable to eat any candy what so ever without feeling the slightest bit guilty…HALLOWEEN.

Now that we are no longer children who are going trick or treating, it seems that the pressure to look “skinny” or “our best is very overwhelming this time of year. Living with 8 college girls, I have heard different combinations of the words “dieting” and “Halloween” countless times over the past month. I usually succumb to this same pressure that they are feeling, but this year I made it my goal to take the higher route. Why? Might you ask….

Well, I realized that all this Halloween nonsense has no actual truth. There is no reason that there is a need to look any better than usual on this specific night. Also, I really don’t think that after dieting for one week before Halloween anyone will actually look noticeably different on Halloween eve. I decided that the true spirit of Halloween involves guiltless eating of candy and other pumpkin delights, as opposed to holding yourself back.

For those of you who are on my same page, I thought I would share a few of my favorite delights with you:

·         REESES GALORE!!!!! Ever since I was a child, Reese’s have been my favorite candy. As a kid, my next door neighbors moved to Colorado for Hershey, Pennsylvania. The Reese family was better than the typical neighbor since their grandfather did invent the Reese Peanut Butter Cup. Every time I would visit their house I would eat a minimum of five Reese’s. I think it is needless to explain further about my addiction.  

·         Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Muffins: These godly creations are available at several different locations. My favorites are Starbucks!

·         Take 5 Candy Bars: chocolate, peanut butter, pretzel, and caramel all in one? Sound like heaven to me.
