A Taste of Halloween

[aura of foreboding]

Even different shapes can be fun:


     HALLOWEEN - Food - Reese's Peanut Butter Assorted Shapes - Bats, Ghosts and Pumpkins - Snack Size

I'm willing to bet there are some people who claim to prefer the "taste" of one shape over another - just like the people who prefer the "taste" of one color M&M over all the others.

Believe it or not, the shape does affect the taste, because the peanut butter to chocolate ratio is different, unlike in M&M's.  I myself prefer the eggs, because they are the perfect balance.

Today I was able to order the Monster Mash and other Monster Cereals for in-store pickup at Target. 

Hope this helps everyone who wants some.

I finally found the Monster Mash cereal at a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market.  The grocery store style ones they've been doing.  The regular Wal-Marts and Super Wal-Marts just have the regular 3, if at all.

Walmart has Monster cereal in Family size boxes.

                                HALLOWEEN - Food - Cookies 'n' Cream Fangs - Hershey's - A



                                HALLOWEEN - Food - Cookies 'n' Cream Fangs - Hershey's - B


These little Cookies 'n' Cream white chocolate bars require a little work on your part.  The rectangular bar needs to be nibbled down to the "Fangs" shape.  The back of the bag shows the treat recipient making a selfie portrait with them in place.

Too much work.  (And the bars are way too sweet for my taste.)

                                         HALLOWEEN - Food - Rice Krispies Treats - MiniSquares - Kellogg's

I like Rice Krispies squares.  I think I would like them even more in these glow-in-the-dark pouches.

I wish they would also do a Halloween-themed box of mini chocolate-flavored squares.

Have you tried the Shriekers? Are they any different than regular Skittles?

 

[Lazarus]

I think they're just Sour Skittles

[Hepcat]

Really sour Skittles would be great!

 

Skittles though are a bit sour anyway so I wonder if there's really a difference? I've not seen them here in Toronto so it's not a case of me being too cheap to try out a bag.

Zapp's of New Orléans makes a couple of varieties of chips that fit right in with Halloween:

Love the Zapps Voodoo Heat chips. I first ate them at a Potbelly Sandwich restaurant. I've been picking them up at the grocery store ever since.

The candy taste pretty good.

I'm looking forward to scoring a bunch of this year's Nestlé's Halloween chocolate bars at close-out sale prices in November!



They're available again as both full size bars and mini-bars for treating tricksters.

It appears there won't be any post Halloween sales on anything in my neck of the woods. They pulled out/sold all the Halloween stuff at Target and Walmart and everywhere else about a week ago and replaced it all with Christmas. Weird.
