This week I will engage in a marvelous ritual that I take part in each and every October.
I will head to Stop ‘ Shop on a mission for fun-size Snickers bars.
I don’t know what my obsession is with them, but I’ve come to the conclusion that this candy is single-handedly the most satisfying, delicious type of chocolate Halloween candy my taste buds have ever experienced.
Something about the combination of peanuts and caramel makes me want to tear packages of unworthy candy corn and Butterfingers from the shelves and put them to eternal shame.
When I say I’m thoroughly in love with the fun-size variety, let me just specify that I favor this miniature size only.
It’s admittedly mind-boggling to me how so much goodness fits into those mini packages. I’m addicted.
Candy lovers of Fairfield, when you’re standing in that aisle during these next two weeks, don’t hesitate to make the right decision.
M’Ms? Too predictable. Milky Way? Nay. Fun-size Snickers bars? Yes, please.

The most fantastic thing that ever happened to me in my entire life, more so than cheating death four times, was the occasions that I was privileged enough to eat Amazin’ Fruit gummi bears.
These delicious little treats are the second coming of Jesus Christ the Savior, in terms of gummi bears.
Amazin’ Fruit signals the end and finality of all other gummi bears because with their appearance a more perfect being arrived on this Earth.
I do not exaggerate in the least. Amazin’ Fruit had it all: texture, softness, quantity and quality, especially quality.
There was no way to not to smile after putting one of these tiny bears into your mouth. They were magical enough to be in “Pan’s Labyrinth.” I shall love them until the end of time.
It’s just a shame they don’t make them anymore.

If you want a good time, grab a bottle of Jack. If you want a great time, grab a Milky Way.
How many candies are named after series of stars? Milky Way is astronomically great.
The candy has served as a bar form of a guardian angel for me over the years.
From splitting up the work day, to a meaningful study break, the Milky Way is as legit as it gets.
The best part of a Milky Way is that it tastes good. Do you really need a number of reasons that will not be able to compete against the key function of every candy, the taste?
Who cares about the texture, the color or the name. When I have a sweet tooth, I go straight to my Milky Way, baby.
I could go on and on about how great Milky Way is, but why don’t you save us both some ink and go grab one yourself?
