Nurturing my inner... trick or treater

Candy.  I like it!  Yes, I know it's not good for you.  I know I should be eating only vegetables and lean meat.  But heck, I'm not a rabbit, nor a super model.  (Plus super rigid people can be SO annoying!)  I'm all for organic foods when possible, yet, I'm not planning on giving up my occasional treats.  (Trust me, it's best not to argue with me on this.)  Life is for living!

Seeing as I stay away from Halloween candy as much as is humanly possible and I have a personal rule that the only two things I've ever allowed myself to get in six years from the work vending machine are pretzels or animal crackers, I'm not often lured into eating candy bars.  Good.  Be strong!

My cousin, however, made the unfortunate mistake of introducing me to these decadent little splurges below and since then, I've been absolutely hooked!  And then the evil candy peddling empire (CVS, in this case) had a half price sale where they were $.50 each, so, I decided I had to stock up.  By buying eight of them.  (Hey, it was the wise thing to do.)  I felt pretty good about my smart shopping, until I endured the humiliation of the girl at the check out saying to me in a somewhat uppity tone, "Well, someone sure likes chocolate."  I wanted to reply, "Well, someone sure needs a class in tact."  But I refrained.  (Audibly, anyway.)


Lower fat that most other candy bars. Two
sticks, so it's easy to eat just one. (Well, I
wouldn't exactly say "easy.")


3 Musketeers Truffle Crisp Bars have a whipped mouse top and a crispy meringue bottom.  (Goodbye self control!  I will remember you not!)  It is definitely a BSE.  (Best Stuff Ever!)  One bite and you'll wish you were eight again and allowed to go door to door in hopes that a couple might land in your plastic pumpkin.  I bet you'd even be willing to dress up as a pirate or a ballerina if that's what it took.  But don't trust little old, candy snacking me!  You can go to a CVS right now!  (However, since it's after Halloween, you may want to leave that cowgirl costume at home.)
