#CakePopsHalloweenBook
I am a candy corn addict.
Whoppers!
Twix has my vote for favorite candy, and since my daughter has Celiac and can’t have Twix because of the cookie component, I end up eating all of her Twix’s from trick or treating! It’s a win-win!
This year my husband, two daughters and I are going to dress up as a deconstructed s’more! My husband and I are going to be the graham crackers, my 4 year old is going to be a hershey’s chocolate bar, and my 18 month old is going to be a cute little puffy marshmallow. That way when we hug, we’ll make a s’more!! Can’t wait!!!!
My favorite costume is a spidery witch!
I love caramel popcorn!
My favorite Halloween candy is the flavored tootsie rolls, especially the green ones.
I love Twix!!!
I love dressing up as superheros! My favorite treats are Twizzlers and Milky Way’s.
I love rocky road that I make every year with dark chocolate, gummies and cranberries :) little bit strange but yummy
Mounds bars – yum! I once dressed as a mermaid – hard to walk in that costume – :)
My favorite candies for Halloween are Candy Corn and black jetty beans. I can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Snacks, too.
My favorite candy to give is any non-chocolate. As a kid, I was always disappointed most of my candy was chocolate. I wanted a good caramel, or chewy candy which lasts longer than chocolate.
Fav Halloween candy is mini Twix bars!
I liked to take a normal costume and zombify it especially if it’s a Disney princess!
Favourite candy- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
I love almond joys on halloween, always have to get a second bag for me XD Such an awesome looking new book, can’t wait!
Each years costume tops the last for me. Last year me and my boyfriend were Wayne and Garth from Wayne’s World :)
reeses peanut butter cups
Candy corn, It’s fall when candy corn appears. You can decorate with it, eat it, decorate cakes, it’s endless. I would love this prize. Halloween is always a blast!
My favorite candy at Halloween is Bit-O-Honey.
My favorite costume has been chewed up gum under a shoe. Giant shoe pinned to a frizzy pink wig, all pink clothes. Easy and hilarious
reeses peanut butter cups – individual ones, so I can eat more without feeling so guilty ;)
I love Kit Kat and Gummy Bears!
I love your cake pops! I made the jack o lanterns, and they were so cute. My fav candy to receive was usually and kind of fun size candy bar, Almond joys was the absolute fav one. Kids now don’t seem to go for coconut very much :-(
My favourite costume, that I enjoyed wearing, was that of a blue crayon.
Kit-Kats are my absolute favorite, followed closely by Mounds or Almond Joy bars. Love some coconut :)
I love twix!
I loved dressing up as Tinkerbell one year! So hard to pick just one favorite candy, but ill have to say blow pops are my favorite! :)
Me and a friend made homemade Mario and Luigi mariokarts last year for Halloween!
Smarties and the peanut butter kisses that no one else likes.
Kit Kats and Nestle Crunch! Halloween is my time to indulge in those chocolates! :)
My favorite Halloween candy is peanut butter cups and twix bars!
My favorite costume ever was an apple my mom helped me with one year – a huge chicken wire and fabric monstrosity, with a long green sock “worm” over one arm. I couldn’t sit, but it looked amazing!
I always like the simple costumes, I usually just go for some kitty ears and draw some whiskers on my face.
My favourite ‘snack’ during Halloween has got to be caramel apples
Kit Kats! Love me the kit kats. And I freely pilfer from my children’s stashes. As for the costume. I have devil horns, small but noticeable that I start wearing all the time mid-October. I get a kick out of seeing who mentions them at school dropoff/pickup and who pretend they don’t see them. Good litmus test to see if I want to be friends with new people!
I love anything dark chocolate!
Love the kit kats and mini snickers! Yum
Hands down love the mini kit kats and snickers.
I’m a sucker for candy corn! I look forward to it every year. :)
My favorite halloween candy is full size twix bars! The houses that give out full size candy bars are the best.
I love the “candy” you can’t get other times of the year…caramel popcorn balls! Fav costume is the homemade mummy costume!
This year we are dressing up as The Incredibles!
my fav … candy corn

Halloween is the only time of year when candy corn actually tastes good (but only if you eat each piece one color at a time!)

My favorite costume was a blow up sumo wrestler!
Unfortunately we don’t really celebrate Halloween over here but for carnival I once dressed up as a chef armed with a sign to cook children for free :)

My family knows that if they get an Almond Joy they better watch out because mom may sneak into their treat bag!
Twix is the one I can’t help sneaking out of my kids’ bags!
Snow white
Snickers………I love me a Snickers bar!!
My fav costume was when I sewed baby doll arms to my top coming out of my belly and attached a mini jack o lantern to the hands as if the baby was trick or treating.
I don’t know if that bothered my daughter more or the fact that I had cut the arms off a doll!
Of course it would have to be Candy Corn!

I am addicted to mellowcreme pumpkins! I didn’t like them as a kid but now I can’t get enough of them!
I was a Christmas tree (with real pine branches!) for Halloween when I was five. Double the holiday spirit!
My all-time favorite was a “Real Housewife of [Insert Your Hometown Here]” — I wore pajamas, crazy curlers in my hair and fuzzy slippers. It was the ULTIMATE comfy costume.
As for candy, I wanted to hug anyone who handed me a Hershey’s Special Dark bar (so rare) or a Midnight Milky Way.
Hi! My favorite candy at Halloween is candy corn! I know it’s not a fave for many, but they’re so cute!! :)

My little family likes to dress up in themed costumes and my favorite so far was our Toy Story theme. I was Jessie, my husband was Woody, and my son was Buzz Lightyear. When trick-or-treating, I always hope there is a house giving out Twix.
My father made a Phantom of the Opera mask from a white plastic mask years ago. It is still my favorite! Halloween means candy corn and lots of fun treats made with them.
Reese’s peanut butter cups and Sweedish fish!!!
I love the chocolate gold coins!
reeses pieces and bottle caps!
Anything that comes home in my kids treat bags. :)
Growing up my mom made all my costumes. My favorites were Tweety Bird and a Bag of Jelly Beans. I just remember the balloon jelly beans falling out of y bag’s leg holes and leaving a Hansel & Gretel like trail.
My old standby costume is one of a Renaissance girl, and last year I dressed up as Jessie from Toy Story. This year I’m really excited to be Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck It Ralph!

Love Rolos,Kit Kat, Kissies, and every ohter choclate you can think of!!!
As a kid they stuck me in a brown paper bag one year and glued paper plate eyes on the front. Instant owl or just a kid with a sack over her head… :)
I have a Carmen Sandiego costume in the works this year. I’m a big fan of costumes that have jackets built in, so I don’t have to cover it up if October is cold.
It’s impossible to pick just one favorite—Kit Kat, Twix, Skittles, Peanut Butter M&Ms….. The list goes on!

Candy Corn!! But I don’t discriminate… really I’ll eat any candy!
Favorite costume is the Queen of Hearts!
I love to dress up for Halloween. I would have to say my favorite Halloween candy is Willy Wonka’s BottleCaps. I donate my time to help out with a function in our town called “Treat Street”. This keeps children off the streets, where they can safely “trick or treat” through a spooky decorated events center. The whole town participates. Every year we do a different theme, so I love coming up with a new costume every year!
As odd as it may be to some people.. .my favorite Halloween candy is candycorn.

Once when I was younger me and two other friends dressed up for halloween as “Rock, Paper, and Scissors” (I was paper.) We made our them out of bristol board and everyone thought we had the coolest costumes ever. As for candy, my all time fav has to be Mars Bars.
