If I was a Halloween candy I would be Reese’s peanut butter cups. For one because it is my favorite candy, to get during Halloween and eating a lot of it. Also it is the first one I would eat and pick out of all my candies. If I had a choice of choosing between the bag of candy I got from trick or treating and a bag of Reese’s, it would be the Reese’s. I remember when I was little my mom would buy candy for the other kids who come to our house and she would buy a individual bag for a type of candy, such as; M&M’s, Twix, Kisses, and Reese’s. I went to the kitchen and then took the bag or Reese’s and ate it all then I remember that my mom got really mad at me. Reese’s is the candy that I would pick out of all the other candies I can choose from. Well hope every one had a great Halloween !!!!

If I were a Halloween candy I would have to say that I would be a three musketeer’s bar. I say that because that candy bar is a lot like me. It’s chocolate on chocolate goodness, and it just one of those candy bars that you have to get used to like me. From time to time the chocolate on chocolate is too much. Like a three musketeers bar every once in a while I’m just what you needed. Another thing that makes me like a three musketeer bar is I’m just one thing. Not a whole bunch of crazy colors or flavors. I’m just like the chocolate cover fluffy chocolate. There’s no worry about what I’m going to be like. It’s the same every time.
I’m also one of the most noticeable candies. Despite the fact that my wrapper is somewhat plain, it is still bright and sticks out among all the other brown blue and reddish orange wrappers. My wrapper is sliver and bright easily drawing your attention. And there are only few wrappers that would be as shiny as mine like the York pepper mint patty for instance, or a Uno bar. And I’m like this because I stick out like a sore thumb. What sticks out more than a large Asian boy wearing a pirate hat screaming at the top of his lungs “YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES, YOU’RE GOODS OR YOU’RE LIVES!”

If I had the chance to be any kind of Halloween Candy I would defiantly without a doubt be a Snickers, or any other kind of chocolate such as a Reese’s, M&M’s, Twix, Milky Way, Tootsie Roll or 3Muscuters. I LOVE chocolate so much and that’s probably the first thing you’ll catch me searching for when I’m digging through your candy bag.
I think that I would be a snickers because there so tasty and because of the way that there put together. In snickers you have chocolate, peanuts and I think caramel all into one. But, to make it just perfect I would prefer if it was a Dark Chocolate Snickers because that’s my favorite kind of chocolate. And I do have to say that the Dark Chocolate Snickers is one of the best tasting chocolates that I’ve ever tasted, they almost top the Ghirardelli Chocolates, but they’re not that delicious.
Snickers are kind of like me in a way because there made up of many different ingredients and even though you know what they are you can help but seem surprised when you try them. Or in my case see to either relate or like the kind of person that I am. Like Snickers although I may see soft or nice and sweet in the inside there’s still a part of me inside that’s tough and strong and that isn’t as “weak” as I or may seem.
One of the biggest similarities that the snickers and I have is that the Halloween Snickers are small not huge like they usually are and well there just like me small of course. Which is a pretty interesting to have in common because not many people can relate to a candy on this level because well, there not short like me.
The great thing about candy is that you almost never get tired of it unless you eat too much of it, and especially chocolate, its just one of those things that you just can’t help and like even though you shouldn’t have it. And I think that that’s a really cool feature to have to be able to be liked even though people may not want to. If I could have a similar characteristic to chocolates then I would probably chose that to be liked by everyone, because then you wouldn’t have any enemies.

If I were to be a Halloween candy I'd be any candy thats first sour than sweet, prefferably one of those old school warheads!! (anybody remember those?? i dunno if they still exist). But yea I'd be a sweet n sour candy because at first I maybe sour towards someone but the sourness doesn't last as long as my sweetness afterwards, lol. Some may differ but I think Im ususally sweet rather than sour.

If I was a straight up Halloween Candy I would be the one slightly open bag with POISON in it! No, just kidding! Quite the coincidence this blog because my sister sent me a “what Halloween candy are you” quiz and I got;
"You're: Candy Corn: People love candy corn, just like they love you. Even people who act all high and mighty about their candy adore these sugary little suckers. You're just like them; a real people pleaser that everyone agrees is awesome. Happy Halloween!"
But yeah apparently I am nobody because I am not that fond of candy corn. But I agree that I am awesome. But I think I would like to be Laffy Taffy. I would like to be a Laffy Taffy because not only am I sweet, chewy, a bit sour, flavorful, awesome, comes in assorted flavors, shareable, flexible and leaves people with a burst of flavor and happiness, and just plain good to have in any candy arsenal, I would have my own song! I WOULD SHAKE MY LAFFY TAFFY SELF EVERYDAY! HOW CRAZY IS THAT!!!!
And unlike other candies out there with just a brand name and logo, I make people “laff” with funny jokes on my wrapper! Here are some jokes for you to laff at! (hahahaha)
1. What did Delaware?
2. What kind of math do owls do?
3. What happened when the boat carrying red paint hit the boat carrying blue paint?
4. What is a dentist's favorite musical instrument?
5. What do camels wear in the desert?


ANSWERS BELOW






Here are the Laff tastic answers:
1. A New Jersey
2. Owlgebra
3. They were marooned
4. A tuba toothpaste
5. Camel-flage

HAhahahaha. Being a Laffy Taffy must be great because it is like a non-stop party full of puns and jokes with the nice chewy, burst of vibrant flavor that will make your taste senses burst jawful of happy! This is one of the reasons why I would be a Laffy Taffy, not only would I come up with stale jokes that are some what lame, Laffy Taffys are not a very serious candy, just like how I am not a very serious guy. And besides who doesn’t like taffy? Especially me as taffy. Just the thought of me being taffy makes me happy, (and that rhymes).
But any ways, who doesn’t love the sweet, chewy, flavorful, mouth-watering taste of laffy taffy that comes in variety of happy flavors with a greater variety of “laff-taffular” jokes! Hahaha!


I think I should lay off the candy…

If I were a Halloween candy, I would be a sour patch kid. Just like the commercials slogan, “At first they’re sour, and then they’re sweet.” Although I may present myself on a sour front, I tend to be a naturally sweet person once you get to know me. I love this candy because it represents my attitude when presented with new challenges. But just the candy can get stuck in your back molars, I can be a personality that is hard to forget.
I love sour patch kids because they’re chewy and sweet, and they remind me of a carefree childhood. I remember in kindergarten, my friends and I would compete to see who could eat as many sour patch kids in a row and not strain our face. Usually I had the endurance to outlast, but once in a while someone else would win.

If I were to be a Halloween candy I’d have to be, beyond all epic things in the world, a Chocolate Jesus. It’s the best thing to get for Halloween in the world. It’s beyond epic. IT’S HOLY! AND IT’S CHOCOLATE (which in some countries, I believe that would be considered a holy aphrodisiac. Probably considered blasphemous, too)! I mean, how can you top Jesus? He’s larger than life. Just like me. I can walk on water; turn water into wine; and I’ve died ten times over already.
I got the idea of a chocolate Jesus from a Tom Waits song. Ever since I’ve heard it I’ve kind of been craving to eat a chocolate Jesus. They’re surprisingly hard to find. Well, I haven’t exactly been trying to search hard, but when I remember I look. I think it would kick ass to eat Jesus in chocolate form, because then you’d feel bigger than Jesus. What does the lord and savior have on you if you can eat him at any point? God can’t even stop you from eating his child!
I’d also like to have a chocolate Jesus because I haven’t really had just a plain dark chocolate bar for quite a while. And I actually like chocolate more than sour candy. It’s hella better. I guess my taste is more acquired to the bitter taste rather than the sour taste.

This question was unexpectedly difficult, it frustrated me more than I would like to admit. As a candy, I automatically knew that I wouldn’t have anything to do with chocolate, chocolate is way too serious and heavy. Then I had the thought that I would be a sour candy, kind of fun and painful and sweet at the same time. Like a sour straw or warheads or something, but then I decided that I don’t want to be described like that at all, it just was plain unbecoming. It continued on for quite a while, and the question just confused my mom…so, I had to make a decision.
I guess if I were to choose which type of Halloween candy described me, I would have to say candy corn. I tried to base this this decision off of what classic Halloween treat fit my personality with the most accuracy, and not off of which one I eat a disgusting amount of…I’m not sure I can really tell the difference, but this is what I came up with. I think that it vaguely fits me as a person because I might be an acquired taste. I may not appeal to everyone and I may show up every year, but the people that like me love me, and enjoy me all year round. And I am RIDICULOUSLY inexpensive and often the most frugal choice. All around the best Halloween candy, by far.

This is a very difficult question. I have no idea which Halloween candy I would be. The problem is that I only know one or two different Halloween candies so it’s not enough to really decide what I would be.
