Candy Corn

I love candy corn.  It is disgusting, sugary goodness, and I love when Fall gets here and the candy corn comes back.  It's a snack and also a costume, because there is nothing better than candy corn fangs:

 

The brother and I have a contest every year to see who can send a candy corn fang picture to the other first.  I won last year, but he totally beat me this year.  Curses!  There are now other candies that come in candy corn flavor.  At this week's conference the BSF brought these for us to try:

 

 

We'd both seen them but hadn't been brave enough to try them, so we tried them together.  They have white chocolate inside, but other than the colors, I'm not sure what makes them candy corn, as they certainly didn't taste like it.  They were fine, but we both agreed that once was enough.  But wait, there's more!

 

 

I *think* I've tried these, but I'm not 100% sure.  Clearly they made a big impression...



 

Haven't tried these yet.  I saw them somewhere recently, but now can't remember where, and I haven't seen them again since.

 

But enough of candy corn as food, let's move on to candy corn shoes!

 

 

(yes, you have seen these before, and yes, I have referenced candy corn fangs before)

 

I clearly need a pair.  Probably the heels.  Who wants to work on that for me?

 

 

 

 

Witchy

The shoe calendar presented me with these this morning:

They are from 1985, but all I can see when I look at them is witch shoes.  It's the combination of the buckle and the extremely pointy toes.  Of course I then had to go searching for more witch shoes and here are a few of my favorite:

 

 

I wouldn't wear any of them on a normal day, but I would wear them for Halloween (although the green ones look potentially really uncomfortable).

 

 

These are not witch shoes, but I am a dork, and I love me some candy corn, so I think these are adorable.  They even have 2 candies on the heel that looks the fangs I always create with my candy corn.  I would totally wear these throughout the month of October if they came in adult sizes.

 

So, I am also a dork because I waited to publish today until I could publish this.

 

 

 

The Norwegian in me is required to tell you that of course it's not that big of deal...not bragging.  The other parts of me are like, screw that--yay!  Probably the different parts of my brain need some sort of family therapy or something.  And yes...I may or may not have obsessively hit refresh a million times this afternoon.  It was stuck at 9993 and 9998 FOREVER!
