EduInReview has already posted our favorite Halloween costume ideas and party ideas. And while these are both essential to a fun Halloween experience, I just noticed we neglected one of the most important parts of Halloween: THE CANDY!

I remember when I was a kid, I would always take a king-size pillow case as my candy bag. I would not stop trick-or-treating until I had filled that bad-boy up with sugary goodness. I’ve been told I’m strange, but my favorite thing to get was those little bags of candy corn. Also, Almond Joys and M&Ms were always a plus. I remember one year I got three king-size candy bars (Butterfinger, Hershey’s, and Snickers) – I was a very happy kid that night.

It’s October! And you know what that means: Halloween!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. When I was a kid, it was all about the candy. Now that I’m in college, it’s about having a better costume than my friends. My first costume when I was a baby was a pea-pod. I remember being a butterfly for four years in a row when I was 6-10. I like to think that my costume ideas have improved since my childhood; however, last year’s attempts to turn a black cocktail dress into a “Desperate Housewife” didn’t really turn out too well.
