Kawd11 good luck finding them! If you do and live in Philadelphia hook a sister up lol! Yeah you have no idea how badly my roomie and I wanted these and did not find them at the store! Granted we only went to one store because we were not that obsessed with them, but still it was sad. I'm sure if we hit up Target we shall succeed!

Any one else do this trick? The trick is you know you are not going to have ton of trick or treaters considering the location of your house, so you purchase the really good candy so you have all the left overs? Lol that's what we're planning on doing :-).

I have never liked butterfinges. I just think they are tastless and not fun. I always dug them out of my pillow case after trick or treating and passed them straight over to my mother, who adores them lol. I also hated those stupid bit-o-honey garbage they call candy haha. Oh! Heath bars are nasty as well lol

So my roommate and I were hanging out at this park today and we started to reminisce about being children and the candy we got for Halloween. We both came to the conclusion that caramel apple pops are incredible and sought out to purchase some tonight while on our super long grocery adventure tonight. Too bad Super Fresh DID NOT CARRY THEM!! Needless to say her and I were pretty upset. It's okay though they had Edy's ice cream buy one get one free so for under 9 bucks we did get 4 containers of ice cream :-)

My list is random. Most of my dislike for certain foods started as a child. I hate butter. My parents ruined it for me by leaving it out on the counter in a porcelain butter dish. Every time the lid was removed, this congealed, sweaty, super slimy semi-solid goo just made me want to vomit!

Ranch dressing.I've always hated it! I was that odd child who preferred blue cheese over ranch!

I can't stand oil. I mean any kind; canola, vegetable, olive, any of it! The consistency and sliminess is the same concept as the butter!

I don't like cake. I will eat the icing and or any filling that inhabits the center, but the actual cake part I'll pass on.

Okra. The MOST disgusting vegetable on the face of this planet! My step-dad used to make soup and toss okra into. Ew!

I hate fried food. I feel as if my face will erupt into a volcano of grease induced pimples!

1. Restaurant: Cheesecake Factory. Okay the strawberry martini (which is just kettle one vodka and fresh muddled strawberries) is sooo good! All their food and cheesecake is heavenly!

2. Fast food: BK. I love thier veggie burgers and apple fries!

3. Snack/candy/dessert place: good old DQ

4. Snack/grocery store food: pretzel twists. I mean a BIG bag of the great value brand at walmart is only $1.18!

5. Cereal: I love honey bunches of oats

What is cannoli cake? I am Italian and do enjoy a real cannoli but never hear of cannoli cake! Or maybe I have? Does it go by another name? Is it the Italian cake with the custard and other creamy, decadence in the center? Lol

I can not do super froo froo girly drinks. The sugar gets to me. If I consume too many, the next day my stomach hates me and rebels! Lol. I tend to stick to rum and diet with a lemon wedge :-). I also love wine! Reisling or Pinot Grigio :-). I say rum or vodka with diet or a light beer or glass of wine is your best bet. Cheers!

I feel ya on the sugar cravings! I too could eat 15 cookies, but I'd feel sick lol. I tend to not tolerate sugar as well as I did when I was a kid. Always have hada sweet tooth. I used to polish off one of those boxes of Rainbow Nerds and feel fine! I ate a DQ blizzard the other day and it was good but the sweet got to me. Same with the cookie I ate yesterday. I crave sweet all the time. It's kind of annoying lol. Oh sugar you are so evil!
