Blogtober Day 29: Top 5 Halloween Candies

We're two days away from Halloween! With the holiday so close, all I can think about it is all of the discounted candy I'm going to buy on November 1st. With that said, today I'm going to talk about my favorite Halloween candies. Before I do that, let me give you my opinion on candy corn, because I know that's a point of contention. I don't like it. I don't think its the Worst Thing Ever, but I refuse to consume it.

Now, to candy I do like:


5) Blow-Pops
I like lollipops. I also like gum. This one combines the two.


4) MilkyWay
I don't know how they make these taste so good, but somehow they do. Other chocolate and caramel candy bars have tried and failed to recreate the magic of Milky Ways.


3) Hershey's Bars
Yes, these are pretty standard and boring, They're also classics. And you can't really go wrong with something as simple as plain chocolate. It's a pretty safe bet in case any trick-or-treaters have allergies.


2) Skittles
Skittles are just amazing. I think I read an article saying they're the most purchased Halloween candy last year. Either way, they're good and I enjoyed them.


1) Reese's Cups
I love peanut butter, I love chocolate. I love the two of them together. And that's why Reese's cups take the #1 spot.

What's your favorite Halloween candy?

Blogtober Day 6: Favorite Reading Snacks

I love food. Almost as much as I love books, although I do need food slightly more than books. I could live without books, but would I want to? Absolutely not. It makes sense then, that I've given a lot of though to reading snacks. After all, I'm great at multitasking. Not every food is fit to be a reading snack, though. As much as I love spaghetti, eating it while reading wouldn't end well (and I'd never forgive myself if I got tomato sauce on my precious books).

So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite reading snacks.



1)Popcorn

Sometimes when you're reading, you need something salty. Popcorn naturally comes bite-sized, which is good, even though I tend to eat way more than I meant to. At least popcorn's slightly more healthy that the next thing on this list.



2)Chips (preferably sour cream and onion)

Potato chips, like popcorn, are great for when you want something salty while reading. Unless you eat Doritos, or particularly greasy brand of chips, there's no risk of damaging the pages with your finger prints.



3)Grapes

Grapes, blueberries, raspberries, pretty much any fruit that doesn't need to be cut up or picked apart is great for reading in my opinion.



4) Coffee/tea/hot chocolate

I'm putting all of these in the same category, because which drink I choose depends on my mood. Nothing sounds better to me than curling up with a nice book and a hot beverage.



5) Chocolate

Is there any time that chocolate wouldn't be a good snack? I rest my case. For reading, it's nice to indulge in something sweet while also getting lost in a good story.

6) Fruit Snacks

This is more of a convenience thing than anything else, but I'm including it. Fruit snacks are great because you can just grab a package (or two) and go somewhere to read. There's no prep work involved, and depending on the brand, you have a variety of flavors.
