Halloween is a fabulous time of year. Meloves my Halloween. heart
Every year, I have come to grow more analytical about the candy I receive, and have discovered that I have certain rules for each type of candy. A most intriguing thing, indeed…
For instance…
The Kit Kat bar.
Break me off a piece, but only when there’s nothing better around. I find the Kit Kat to serve its chocolate-requiring duties, when you are in the greatest need of coco, and a plain Hershey’s bar just won’t do. The wafers in the middle add a nice crunch, and convey the illusion of substance beyond the slightly waxy milk chocolate.
Now, I am more of a Butterfinger chick.
The Butterfinger is layers of flakey, buttery goodness made thick and smothered in chocolate. How does that not sound tempting?
What else is better than a Baseball legend? A CANDY BAR named after said baseball legend, of course! The Babe Ruth bar gets it’s props not just because of it’s name origins, but also because it adds a clean crunch with whole peanuts and a caramel coating. In a neat jacket of milk chocolate which sometimes manages to NOT be waxy (only by mere coincidence), it appeals to most picky palates, with the general exception of the allergy-plagued, who regrettably know not what they’re missing.
Of course, the Reese’s Peanut-Butter Cup is a naturally ingenious idea of mixing the best man-made product in the world (peanut-butter, of course) and fringed it delicately with the ever-popular waxy milk chocolate.
The degraded Milky Way, which manages to contain within it’s chocolately folds, a simple combo of caramel and nougat, needs more love. I mean, come on people, it’s CARAMEL and NOUGAT with CHOCOLATE!!!! You would have to have your sweet teeth pulled to not appreciate its pure sugary wonder. …And I’m dead serious about that, really.
Since I’m mentioning the Milky Way, I will pay tribute to the sub-par Three Musketeers bar. Ta-da! This is my tribute. Sorry, Three Musketeers fans, the “creamy nougat filling” just isn’t enough substance. It needs something more.
And out on my pocket comes… the ALMIGHTY 100 Grand! No, I’m not rich. Yes, it’s still amazing. 100 Grand is like the Crunch Bar on steroids: Super Improvement POWER~~~~! I love letting the chocolate melt in my mouth and give way to the rice crispy-caramel-y goodness within. YUM! heart
And the last candy bar I wish to mention is the Snickers Bar, which, according to my father, is the cream/crème of the crop. Caramel, peanuts, nougat, and, of course, chocolate, swirl mixes pretty much everything you could possibly look for in a candy bar; with the exception of pretzels…
Oh, wait, that’s what the Take 5 bar is for! Who came up with that anyway?
And, in order to collect all of these fine examples of tooth decay and malnourishment, I successfully cosplayed as the enthused and godlike Suzumiya Haruhi-san, who in order to pass the whole day in character, requires the consumption of ten of each of the above described candy bars.
Naw, I’m just kidding. But, marching around as Haruhi is demanding. Especially when one does the Hare Hare Yukai dance. *Sigh* Good times, good times…
Ja, ne!?

PS Next year’s costume will require a lot more thinking. I know that I am NOT going to go as Kakashi (sorry, Ryanou-chan! I still love you.). It must scare the pants off of anyone who happens to look my way, just because I want to see the vast majority of the world terrified with no pants.
…
I’m obviously kidding. Again. xp
