I buy the seasonal ones purely for decorative purposes. I have three vintage mason jars I fill with colorful candies. Which is why I happened to have these on hand. The family doesn't know/care what's old and what's not, they just eat it anyway. :)Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-54105024484842618032016-11-02T09:35:26.567-04:002016-11-02T09:35:26.567-04:00I would love these, Mindy!

I'll put nuts in half... and everyone will be happy!<br /><br />And don't you just love the harvest-toned M&M's? I buy a bunch of bags every year because the colors are perfect for October and November get togethers... and then I go back to the multi-colored for Christmas because if you knew how early the stores get those Christmas colored ones in.... well, enough said! <br /><br />The Easter ones aren't nearly as early to arrive... or the harvest. But I love the brightness of the originals, anyway. So it all works out.Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-48223937190859161952016-11-01T17:03:09.316-04:002016-11-01T17:03:09.316-04:00Ruthy, they're soft when they come out of the ...Ruthy, they're soft when they come out of the oven, but grow crunchy as they cool.

And that I have a teenager in the house to eat the leftovers, otherwise I'd be in big trouble.<br /><br />A party sounds fun. Especially the dancing part. You could have had a cookie or two then danced those calories right off, Sandra.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-14033266365611360872016-11-01T08:16:20.018-04:002016-11-01T08:16:20.018-04:00Hi Mindy, I am in a 55+ senior resort so we didn&...Hi Mindy, I am in a 55+ senior resort so we didn't have trick-or-treaters. We did have a big party and dance and they passed out yummy cookies. However they didn't look as yummy as yours. smile I stayed away as they love to just go right to my hips and waist. I bet your grandchildren love those. Sandra Leesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911169281960710923noreply@blogger.com
