Duds

In my Halloween bowl this year were Twix, Kit Kats, Almond Joy, Heath Bars & Milk Duds. I had bought the candy over 2 weeks ago & managed to successfully hide it from Shane until Oct 31st - which is a miracle in itself that he didn't find it beforehand. This gave me a chance to sneak a few pieces of chocolate until the fun holiday arrived. While indulging in the yummy, chocolatey bag of goodness, I discovered I LOVE the Milk Duds. I mean REALLY LOVE the Milk Duds. I even found myself threatening Shane to not hand out the Duds to the little kids when they were trick-or-treating.So imagine how sad I was to discover this morning that all the Duds were gone :( It was a blessing actually because I really need to lay off the Halloween candy. I am beginning to see Duds developing on my left cheek!

Fast forward to today after work. I headed over to Target to get a couple of things & I had to walk through the "seasonal candy" aisle to get to where I was going. To my delight, there on the shelf right at eye-level were Halloween bags of Milk Duds - 30% off - which made them $1.88 a bag. Seriously, how can I turn that down!? Somehow 3 bags made it into my basket but by the time I went to pay, I came back to reality & only 2 bags made it onto the conveyer belt.

Damn you Target for putting these chocolatey caramal balls on sale & making them that much more irresistable!
