Oh Cindy! You beat me to the candy jar (or halloween loot in this 
case!).  I was just coming on line to ask the very same question.   

Well, as a lifelong chocaholic, It's impossible for me to name just 
one candybar.  I do have some "current" favorites, as opposed to 
those candies from my childhood.  I too, like snichers and reese's; 
snickers especially frozen in the freezer (a trick DH taught me), and 
the peanut butter filled kit kats are yummy too (starting to notice a 
trend?).  But some of my all time favorites are Mallo Bars (gooy 
coconut-marshmallow filled cups covered in dark (I think) chocolate. 
and Payday Bars.   Those are also great.  It's like getting five 
different candy bars in one. Mmmmmm!  I don't seem to find these two 
chocolates bars very often, and when I do, I tend to embarass my 
family because I HAVE to have them!!

On another note, was watching the local new tonite when they 
broadcasted a story live from Salem (Mass).  Ah, to be in Salem on 
Halloween! Maybe nextyear!  Well, the news is, the reporter was 
asking the locals who/what was the best costume they'd seen, when a 
young 20 something (oops! showing my age!) pulled over his buddy and 
yelled out "HARRY POTTER!!  HE'S RIGHT HERE!"  A tall, thin, dark 
haired bespec . . er, bespectel . . . (he was wearing glasses) popped 
up, grinning, in full HP regalia, even had the original striped polo 
underneath the robes!  Didn't really look like Dan Radcliffe but he 
did pull off a good Harry look-a-like!

Well, I have to say, that made my Halloween complete!!  Especially 
since not one child at my door this evening was anything from the HP 
universe! :(  How disappointing!  Although, my oldest did put on his 
alien mask backwards and said "Look, I'm Quirrell!".  But he wouldn't 
go out like that.  He's 13 and too cool for that (or so he thinks).

Oy, I think I've sampled too much of the loot!! I'm starting to 
ramble . . .

Well, since Cindy beat me to the candy question, I'll ask, 
Anybody get any kiddos dressed up as HP'ers?

damn tired now . . .)
