the candy! Oh I love me some candy corn, i always grab me a bag when i make a trip to wally world:) When my kids were younger i didn't have to buy candy because they got way too much trick~or~treating but now that they do not go and they are just way to old for trick~or~treating (so they say)haha...I go out and buy my own. I usually try to keep a dish of it around the house, now when i say dish i don't necessarily mean it's full all the time:))(blushes)!! I know it's not good for me while i'm trying to start a diet but oh.....it's just so tempting I can't resist..lol
