Just in time for the annual onslaught of trick-or-treaters, the candy has been purchased.
I don't know how we got started using that wooden bowl. It's really heavy which makes it hard to hold while you try and open the door before the goblins knock it down. But it's the biggest bowl we have and it allows the candy to get spread out so the kids can see what all their options are. It's important to get candy you like on Halloween.
Tonight Chris and I are engaging in the annual candy competition ourselves. Last year it was the Rolo versus the Milk Dud. This time around two of my personal favorites are going head to head. The Twix takes on the Kit Kat. We've got plenty of supplies. I have a feeling it may take several tastings to be certain of our choices. These fun size bars are just itty bitty.
Lewis is leaning towards the Twix but he hasn't decided for sure. I think he really wants to vote for the Kit Kat but is afraid people will think he's biased.
i vote for kit kat, just saying!

Twice here. I have been tasting and can vouch for them. But what do they think is fun about a two bites and it's gone candy bar? I think these should be called teasers instead of fun.

LOVE the photo of Lewis...I'm torn between the Twix & Kit Kat myself...but the Kit Kat has a better name!

AND, Twix is made here in Cleveland, TN. On some nights when you walk outside you can smell the chocolate. So nice. (unfortunately on some nights you can smell the paper mill up the road. Oh, well).

I thought you were going to say that Lewis is refereeing this event! He would be biased toward the KitKats, I'm sure.
We don't live in a subdivision, our house is in the county where there are no street lights, so over the years I could count the number of Trick or Treaters on both hands and feet. I buy the candy every year, but we're the ones who end up eating it.

I personally make a Kit Kat sandwich -- put a Twix between two Kit Kats. Yummy.
