Boo Cool?

Cool Halloween Candy

It’s that time of year again.

When those impossibly cute little gremlins come a-tapping on your door.

Hands outstretched…they want it.

Candy!

What to dole out?

We did some investigating, and picked the brains of two very in-the-know sisters (aged ten and twelve), to ask…

What is the cool candy to give out this year?

The verdict? Skip the aisles at the A&P. Here’s the low-down on what kids want:

1. Blood Filled Eyeballs are cherry filled gumballs and are only $3.50 for 50 pieces at Oriental Trading.

2. Witch’s Warts are sweet and tart and are only $4.50 for 75 small bags at Oriental Trading.

3. Assorted Monster Munny chocolate crunch, are only $2.99 per pound, at Economy Candy.

4. Halloween Pez are $1.00 each at Oriental Trading.

5. Assorted Kits Taffy are $2.99 per pound at Economy Candy.

6. Halloween Lollipop Strips are $.75 for 14 at Economy Candy.

And don’t forget the classic Mary Janes. If you need major quantities, Economy Candy sells 10 pound bags of assorted candy for $12.00.
