It helps if you let the gummy candies sit out in the air for a while, as it will be harder to keep the candy eyeball stuck into super fresh and soft ones.

A few weeks ago, my family and I visited a few Amish country stores and I stocked up on bulk sprinkles and fun propping candies. But I lied, because there’s one more DIY that I just couldn’t get out of my head. You may get a delicious flavor, or one of the gross ones.Okay, so in yesterday’s post I said I was done with Halloween. If you dare, spin the wheel, then pick a jelly bean that matches the color the spinner lands on. There’s even one version of Bean Boozled that is packaged with a spinner to turn the adventure into a game. The fun comes from being bold enough to try them all. It’s not all bad - some of Jelly Belly’s more traditional favorites are in the mix, including juicy pear, peach, plum, and coconut, among others. There’s skunk spray, baby wipes, moldy cheese, and black pepper, among others. There also is another line, Bean Boozled, with equally crazy flavors.

Today, kids are more likely to receive a bite-sized chocolate candy - that’s the most popular treat for Halloween, according to the trade group the National Confectioners Association (NCA). Most likely it originated with the “All Souls’ Day” parades in England, where poor citizens would beg for food and families would hand out pastries called “soul cakes” in return for prayers for their dead relatives.
