Candy Guide

I received this detailed Candy Guide from Hungry Girl yesterday. It's very helpful whether you celebrate Halloween or not. Tuesday, November 1st, is All Saints Day, but should probably be renamed "Bring Leftover Candy to Work Day." That doesn't mean you can't have any, just be aware of what you're having! And if you don't like chocolate... what's wrong with you?? Just kidding! There are non-chocolate treats listed as well.

Check out our TREMENDOUS guide to Halloween goodies, 2011 edition! (Click here to download a printable PDF!)
