Trick or Treat 2015! /// Week 2

This week's Trick or Treat is full of sugar, sugar and more sugar! I had to brush my teeth twice after we tried out all of these treats, but this was, surprisingly, a good batch of seasonal/Halloween candies!

First up, we tried out the Caramel Apple filled Twizzlers. Mr. LL didn't realize they were filled until we got home, and his heart seemed to break a little. He is not a fan of the filled Twizzlers. I'm not a huge fan of Twizzlers in general, however, these were delicious. We both really enjoyed them. Even Bigby enjoyed them, as Mr. LL would squeeze out some of the caramel filling and stick to the top of the little guy's mouth.

Again, another seasonal treat that neither of us are huge fans of, but these specialty flavors were really good! I especially liked the Caramel Apple Peeps and Mr. LL seemed to enjoy the Chocolate Mousse cats the most. So, even if you are not a Peeps fan, like Mr. LL and myself, I recommend giving these flavors a try.

Ok, so as we only got the one lollipop, I was the only one to really try it. I say it's both a Trick AND a Treat. It's a trick because 1 – the fun, colorful face art is a sticker on the inner packaging and 2 – I, for some reason, thought it was white chocolate...it isn't. But it is a treat because the plain skull under all that packaging still looks pretty cool and the simple, vanilla sugar flavor is good. Still wish it was white chocolate though.

Trick or Treat 2015!

Last year, on the old Lazy Lady, Mr. LL and I tasted all the weird and seasonal candies/treats we could find and rated them as either a "Trick" or a "Treat." Well, it's that time again, and we could not be more excited for our favorite husband/wife collab segment on the blog!

Each week, I'll be posting Trick Or Treat and letting you know what made us sick by being gross and what made us sick because we couldn't stop eating it. First up, we have Brach's Peanut Butter Cup Candy Corn and three flavors of Hammond's candy bars!

Mr. LL and I both agree that this very promising flavor of a (IMO) disgusting Halloween tradition is a TRICK!! We had some Starburst candy corn last year and it redeemed candy corn, so we had hopes that this new seasonal flavor would do the same. Our trust was misplaced. Unless you are a fan of peanut butter flavpred wax, don't waste your time or hard earned cash on this lie.

The first time I found Hammond's chocolate bars, Mr. LL and I loved all their "weird" flavors (Potato Chip chocolate bar? Yes!). So, of course I got every seasonal flavor they had on display. Sadly, overall these were a trick, but not, necessarily, in a gross way. The caramel apple one just tasted like chocolate to me with a hint of a caramel center. Mr. LL thought tit tasted like rotten apple, though. Mr. LL proclaimed the candy corn flavor a "treat" but I say "trick", because it too sweet. Finally, unless you love pumpkin spice flavored dark chocolate, the pumpkin spice bar is a trick. In all fairness, though, it tastes exactly like it says it would.
