10 worst Halloween candies of all time

1. Hershey’s Krackel. These are the elusive sultans of the Hershey’s Miniatures bag.   How does a bit of crisped rice so greatly enhance milk chocolate?  This candy proves that Snap and Pop have long been holding back their gifted brother.

2. Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkin. While the flavor is identical to the classic cup, its gourd shape means there is something rare in your grasp.  You can’t get these treats any day you please. It’s like Halley’s Comet—if instead of a mass of frozen gases and dust, it was one of peanut butter, vegetable oil,sugar, dextrose, and salt.   Yum!

3. Take 5. In late 2004, candy innovation hit a peak when Hershey’s decided to combine the contents of almost every other candy bar in existence (chocolate,pretzels, caramel, peanuts, and peanut butter) into one crunchy, chewy, salty, sweet wonder-bar.  I’ll take six. *wink*

4. Pop Rocks. Here, candy and chemistry collide giving kids the sensation of swallowing sugary live fire crackers.  You’d be hard up to find much more fun in a 4″ packet.

5. Anything sour or hot (Warheads, Sour Patch Kids, Atomic Fireballs, Hot Tamales). Look, kids love adventure. And these sweets definitely put the “ow!” (and the fun) in Halloween.

6. Blue Razz Blow Pop.Blue raspberries do not exist outside of factories.   But we’re willing to ignore that because this candy has bubble gum inside!  The lollipop also turns your tongue blue, so it doubles as one of the world’s most affordable costumes.

7. Whoppers. There are very rare instances when you bite into one of these malt balls and instead of their characteristic crunch, they deflate.  While this isolated “Whopper puddin’” is one of life’s greatest disappointments,the crunch is by and large one of its most satisfying sensations.

8. Snickers.  I’ve heard this is the world’s best-selling candy bar.  I endorse compounding this epidemic.

9. Candy Corn. No candy represents Halloween more than the classic tri-colored treat.They look and taste like the nectarous fangs of unicorns.

10. Anything full size. Halloween candy bars are usually scaled-down and given the hilarious misnomer, “fun size.”  For something to be truly fun size, it must be big enough to climb.

5 things to keep you healthy

1. Include Vegetables with Your Meat Preparations.Cut up some Zucchini, Bell Peppers, Squash, Onions, Tomatoes or any other vegetable that you would like to have and place the slices on the grill for a quick addition to the grilled meat. Use smaller slices of the vegetables and make Kabobs with meat and vegetables, that way each person gets a healthy serving.

2. Choose a Meat that is Lower in Fat. A BBQ is never complete without hot dogs, right? Well...Hot Dogs contain a lot of sodium and fat inside the meat. There are healthy alternatives that are lower in fat, but still taste like the well-known and loved Hot Dog Taste. Throw some more chicken on the grill and take off some of those large hamburgers. Choose a lower in fat ground meat. They sell 85/15 and 95/5 ground meat that can be extremely healthy compared to the full fat meat. By adding some seasonings and getting creative, the lack of grease may be replaced with a sense of enjoyment for your taste-buds. If you are not looking to cut out the fat in the hamburgers, consider making smaller hamburgers or "sliders" for a portion controlled meal.

3. Skip the High Fat Desserts and Go for the Healthy Treats. Instead of something that will make your already full stomach, a bit more full, consider having something that is light and festive but filling. Red White and Blue healthy desserts.- A Mixture of Strawberries, Blueberries and Marshmallows all together.- Dip Strawberries in White Chocolate and then in Blue Sprinkles- Watermelon - A Very Healthy Dessert or Snack Take watermelon slices and a star cookie cutter to make star shaped watermelon chunks. These can then be put on the left over Kabob sticks and stuck into 1/2 of a watermelon to hold up the stars. Watermelon is very healthy and beneficial to someone who has been out in the sun all day. This is because Watermelon is high in water content and helps to hydrate the body. Watermelon also contains a high level of all-natural lycopene which is shown in early research to help possibly help reduce incidence of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

4. Stay Hydrated and Remember Sunscreen!! Being out in the sun, sometimes, we tend to forget how long we have been outside when we are enjoying ourselves. Remember to stay safe by drinking a lot of water so that you do not dehydrate your body. We also recommended Sunscreen so you will not need Aloe to the Rescue when the day of celebration is over.
