Halloween Candy

That fall day of days is looming. It wasn't invented by the candy makers but they sure have a time of it and why not?  You will be giving their products to cute little kids in costumes, knocking on doorswith big smiles and parents gleeming in the background.  And just think, at the end of the evening, you will time it so the last handfull of candy fills the bag of the last goblin. Ha!!   The double whammy is that if you have kids, all that candy you sent out the door will find its way back. 

Actually there is a fairly good chance you can take a few of those Snickers  and candy corn pieces and have a little fun with them, or at least soften the waistline blow and angst with a good pairing of wines or spirits.  

That is the subject of our tasting Saturday so we are going to write every day about this, and perhaps inspire you instead of depress you.  This, until the end of the year, is sugar season when chocolate stuff drops like snowflakes so we might as well get used to it, get over it, and be resourceful.
