Fab Freebie: Trick Or Sweet!
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won!***
Hope everyone had a happy Halloween! The two folks getting an extra candy fix (thanks to random.org’s choosing) are… Johanna (who loves Rolos) and Clare @ Fitting It All In (who’s an M&M addict). And the winner of a pair of tickets to our local R.Home For the Holidays event on Nov 16th, featuring a presentation by Grace Bonney, is… Randa! Congrats everyone!
Since we can’t giveaway goblins or ghosts, we’re celebrating Halloween with a candy-tastic giveaway instead. No costume wearing or door knocking required. The prize comes from our favorite local candy shop, Sweet Spot. Their store is not only designed in a super fun way, but it’s stocked with tons of goodies – including those classic childhood candies you just can’t seem to find anymore. Along with (my personal favorite) over 50 flavors of soda.
So the Sweet Spot folks put together three themed baskets for our winners to choose from. Below’s just a sampling of the type of candies that you’ll find in each basket, which are all stocked with $50 worth of yummy stuff.
- PRIZE: One candy basket of your choosing from Sweet Spot (the Retro Candy Basket, the Specialty Chocolate Basket, or the Spooky Halloween Basket).
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TRICK OR TREAT!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …what your all time favorite candy is. Reese’s cups? Skittles? Starbursts? I could go on and on…. so I will. Butterfingers? Peanut M&Ms? Black licorice? Ring pops? Razzles? Nerds? York Peppermint Patties?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, November 2 at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 48 contiguous United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

TRICK OR TREAT!!!
I’ve always been a gummi girl- so I just love the mini packs of sweedish fish, haribo’s and more!!
TRICK OR TREAT
I love Good and Plenty. I keep a not-so-secret stash in my desk at home… my kids know it’s there, but know it’s off-limits. (In return, I leave their Butterfinger candy bars alone.)
Trick or Treat!
My favorite all time candy has to be Ghiradelli milk chocolate caramel squares. YUM!
Trick or Treat!
I love peppermint patties!
Trick or Treat! I love almond M&Ms, but I was recently at Trader Joe’s and they had chocolate covered potato chips, it took a lot for me to walk away.
My favorite candy is one that’s actually not available anymore…actually…it might not be “candy” at all… Now I’m getting lost in a series of “hmm…maybe I’m failing at this all together?”
Anyway, my favorite “candy” is Screaming Yellow Zonkers. It was a candy corn type product but soooooo much better than just regular caramel corn or whatever. It’s off the charts delicious and I have sadness in my heart that it’s not available any more.
On that note…have a WONDERFUL day. :)
TRICK OR TREAT!
I love Rolos!
TRICK OR TREAT! I love chocolate, so I’ll say all things chocolate related….. :-)

My favorite treat has always been anything Reese’s. Especially the Resee’s sticks, and holiday shaped ones (Trees, Pumpkins, etc.)

Reese’s cups are probably my favorite. I like chocolate, and that can be enhanced by peanut butter, or mint, or strawberries, or sometimes multiples of those things.

Trick or treat! I loved the marshmallow candy bars… are they called Charleston Chew? I made my Halloween candy last at least 2 months after Halloween- maybe that is why I had soooo many cavities as a kid! Oops!

I LOVE Almond Joy. My husband teases me that it’s an old lady candy. I just tell him to be quiet. And then I eat as many Almond Joy bars as I want. :)

Trick or treat!!!
Kit kats!!! Or milky ways…. Or starbursts… or twix… Hmmm

TRICK OR TREAT!
It’s a tie between Reese’s Cups and Butterfinger!

Trick or Treat! Peanut Butter M & M’s….can’t resist them!
