Everyone loves getting and giving Halloween candy, the tiny bite sized pieces are perfect for that sugar craving when you have it. At Halloween time the stores are stacked with bags of all sorts of yummy things. Dressing up as one of those yummy candies is also a good idea, perhaps a tootsie roll costume? Or maybe a smarties costume? along with the always famous candy corn. It may just get you or your kids some extra candy at Halloween.

I love Martha Stewart magazines , Halloween issues to be specific. There is lots of yummy recipes you can make for Halloween parties or work Halloween potlucks , the classic Halloween appetizers such deviled eggs or wear it  as a deviled egg costume.

There is also more complicated desserts and treats such as this house in the photo, but it would be very impressive to guests and family at Halloween. For adults there is a many drink recipes out there on the web, spooky martinis or if you dont drink, wear a martini costume . Also what seems to be popular as well is a fall inspired caramel apple martini.

Just the other night as I lay awake, unable to sleep, I thought to myself; what would happen if all the Fairytale Characters got loose and started wreaking havoc on the world as we know it now, it would be a beautiful sight. Then I looked out my window and saw it happening before my eyes, fairytale creatures running amuck, high on Chocolaty treats and Flavoured Carbonized drinks.

I saw my favourite stories come to life, the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding hood, Alice and the White Rabbit, I even saw some old friends. Dracula and his three brides, The Wolfman and Frankenstein and his Bride, they all seemed to forget what they should be doing.

Dracula didn’t even glance at the bare neck of a passerby; he was concentrating on his Candy collection. The big Bad wolf was Helping Little Red with her overly heavy bag of candy. The Wolfman never made a peep when all of these delicious little Goat shaped children passed by.

I just couldn’t believe it, what had happened; nothing was as it should be. No havoc, no bloodshed, everyone was smiling and happy as they walked around on a crisp Halloween night, forgetting the roles they play and just having fun.  As I watched them, something happened within my cold dead heart; I had no desire for havoc or bloodshed anymore. All I kept thinking about was talking with my friends, having a good time and boasting about all the candy we’ve gotten as we run around without a care in the world. Without knowing it, I found myself walking out my front door, bag in hand, ready to accept candy from strangers, wanting only the candy and nothing more from them.

I guess Halloween brings out the child in everyone, even someone as old as me. I can’t wait for next year.
