Growing up with a nutritionist mother, I had very little opportunity to consume large amounts of sugar--with exception to one night each year. I have never had a cavity though. (Thanks Mom)! Anyway, it is time to stock up on Halloween candy, only to need to restock on the 31st after it mysteriously disappears. Here is what I had in mind for round one:
Halloween costume kisses from Hershey's Gifts.
Cool, retro treats can be found at Nostalgic Candy.
Crystal-cut candy from Williams-Sonoma evokes the scary Victorian era.
Chocolate covered Oreos from Dylan's Candy Bar.
A staple at New York corner stores, in Atlanta, I have to buy Morinaga Hi-Chew candy in bulk from veryasia.com.
Nobody's favorite, marshmallow peanuts.
Elegant truffles for big kids from Williams-Sonoma.

Well, I would eat about any and all of the candies you featured, with the exception of the circus peanuts (I agree- I have yet to meet someone who likes them!). Need to try that Japanese candy sometime :)
Millie, this is fun and truly helpful. You've inspired me!
YUMMO. And Millie: I LOOOOVE circus peanuts. Weird, I know.
But you can now say that they are somebody's fave!!! :)
The marshmellow peanut was what I was trying to avoid in my house color - and in my trick-or-treating back in the day.
OMG! Mango candy? I am ordering that this instant! I am a total candyaholic so you are in good company :-) Easter candy is my favorite - born on Easter!
When I go to a foreign country I immediately fall in love with some candy that I have to track down when I get home.
Millie: Just posted a semi-answer to your question re: lamps on my blog!:

Wow, that's what I'm talkin' about for Halloween! Those are fabulous!
Hey, come on by my blog to pick up your award! I am so pleased to have you on my list of people who have made me smile. Even though it is a long list, you definitely deserve a place on it!
Love the candies!

Thanks Melissa! You just made my day.
Thanks for the comments. Glad to provide some inspiration!
I dont know why, but I just LOVE circus peanuts!
just catching up on my blogs now - great post - i grew up with a nutritionist mom as well -and NO CAVITIES!!!! ( however now I eat way too much candy in retaliation! ).
The Peanut marshmellows intrigued me LOL. I did a double-take on that one. I Love the Morinaga chewies myself - Mango is especially yummy. Fun post!
I find that my mom eats more candy then she gives out. I guess that part of Halloween. Being unhealthy.
