At the daycare where I teach, I dressed as “DJ Lance Rock” of “Yo, Gabba, Gabba!”. My costume was complete, with the radio and all the characters inside. All the kids, and teachers, loved it.
Candy Corn!!!!
I want to get a pair of costumes for me and my husband – prince charming and princess. I’ve seen the ones I want, too.

My favorite candy would be Twix probably. But I also love Kit Kats and Twizzlers, too!
I know we only have to answer one question but I also saw the cutest Halloween costume that some girls did at my college and have always wanted to do it, too. They all dressed up as trolls! But it was adorable! They bought nude body suits and sewed a jewel on the belly button of the suit. Then they each bought a neon colored wig and used gel and hairspray to stick the hair up to a point. It was actually the cutest thing I have ever seen!
Just thought I would share both with you :)
Twix! I steel them instantly from the kids trick or treat bags…they never even know they are missing!
I usually dress as Mexican girl or Japanese lady for our trunk or treat. I usually raid my children’s candy for licorice.
My favorite costume was a jelly fish I made with a bubble umbrella, bubble wrap and crepe paper streamers, it was fun. My favorite candy, milky way bars.

Thank you for this giveaway… Crossing my fingers! Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday ever!

Last year was a great costume. My husband and I were robbers, my son was a cop and our baby was a bag of money.

Our family’s go-to costume in a jam is the chubby jogger. Get some pillows and a track suit, add a sweat band and you’re good to go! I know I am weird, but I love candy corn at Halloween! :)
I love the Halloween Kit Kats because they’re white chocolate. Also, my favorite thing to dress up as is either a witch or spider queen. I bought a skirt from Martha Stewart years ago that is a white maxi skirt with spider webs all over it and it’s perfect for either costume!
My favorite costume was Sally from the nightmare before Christmas. The best part was making my own costume & wig from yarn all the night before. It looked awesome!!! I went out dancing with my friends when all of a sudden a guy in a jack costume on stilts screamed across the dance floor, “Sally!!!”. We both ran towards each other with our arms wide open and I got the best hug by a complete stranger :D Now, I’m not sure if you have ever danced with a person on stilts before, but it’s not an easy task. He ended up winning the costume contest. $1000!!! Now, if I could only win your book so the copy of your 1st book isn’t so lonely ;)
Favorite costume? Dead Prom Queen:)

Kit-Kat’s, Snicker’s and Reese’s are my favorite Halloween candy.
Caramel apples are my favorite treat. They’re so versatile! I’ve never had a candy apple, but I really love the appeal of cracking a blackened candy coating with natural twigs for sticks. Right behind the apples, Tootsie Rolls share a special place in my heart.
For Halloween, we change our costumes pretty frequently, but always make them ourselves. This year we’re going to carry over our Renaissance Faire costumes since they’re so close.
When I was a child, the most clever costume I probably wore was combining a pair of roller skates with a clown costume. I zoomed passed all the other trick-or-treaters!

Love Halloween!
