Happy Halloween everyone! Tonight’s the night when the spirits are most restless, rise and seek revenge on the living. So sit back, relax (though not too much don’t want to be grabbed by the ghoulies!) and read these devilishly delectable treats I have assembled for you. Before you begin to wonder yes I may have a trick or two in store for you lucky mortals!
The items before you are possibly the last we will see on here of creepy candy before we bury the dead for another year. By the look of some of the half-arsed attempts this may not be totally bad. I say possibly, because in pursuit of this challenge I may have gone a bit over the top in Halloween prep. I half expect to open my cupboard to be greeted by a goblin chocolate I’ve forgotten about. Hell it’s still sweet so I’ll just eat it and tell you all.

| Gloriously green goop a plenty |
First up today we have a Cadbury’s cream… sorry
SCREAM egg. Hoho Cadbury’s I see what you did there! Basically we have the good
old crème egg from Easter but dyed green. I’ve got to admit when they did this
for the first time I thought it was pretty clever. Also I get another
opportunity to “enjoy” their eggs. Why quotes you ask? I have an odd
relationship with Crème eggs I think I like them and find that once I start
eating them I regret it immediately. As usual I don’t keep this in mind as I
unwrap, and bite off the top. Initially as usual all I get is a nice large
chunk of Dairy Milk goodness as the great green goo has slimed its way into the
bottom half.
I peer inside and see the green goo in all its gory
glory, got to admit it is rather off putting and unsettling seeing the luminous
gunge before me. I dig a finger in regardless and try some. Yep the regular
rich and overly sweet crème I’ve come to know and love/hate. It’s not bad on
its own but when I eat it with the chocolate as intended I feel rather sickly
and in need of a lie down. Hopefully I haven’t been poisoned and Cadbury’s
charged with murder most foul!

| Eeeeewwww it's like some kind of plant thing! |
I feel the effects waning and prepare myself for the
next item and I have to admit I am not looking forward to this one. Weirdly
it’s an item I’ve always wanted to try but in the example I have before me I
have little confidence. I found this chocolate coated apple in a petrol
station, cause enough for health concerns when it comes to food alone. However
this item also doesn’t have any information on the packaging… Not even an
expiry date, which technically is illegal.
Look at the scaredey cat
Remember folks if this kills me take solace that I died on this day of all days and that I did it for you. Well not entirely my compulsion with candy spurred me on a little but if it gets you through the grief I did it for you! I take a bite and wow was I right! The chocolate is cheap and tasteless with a greasy texture, and the apple beneath is worse! It’s clearly been beaten and abused prior to dipping as it’s so soft and mulchy I wouldn’t be surprised to find a maggot or two in my mouth now. Worst of all I think is the fact that underneath all this chocolate is something that could have been considered healthy. That is something that definitely has no place here on this blog. Or does it?

What kind of Witches hat is... healthy
Here it is folks then, the trick in this tales tail. The last item of the Halloween challenge! What could it be? It’s a cabbage, A CABBAGE! Surely some curse has befallen me, nope it’s a cabbage. To be precise it’s called a Witch’s hat cabbage. Basically a purple conical cabbage, now I don’t go near veg often so have no idea how to approach this … thing. I break a leaf of and try, with its weird earthy taste I screw my face up in disgust. I did boil it as you are supposed to and got an interesting result.

The cabbage turned the water a cool bluey purple hue
which was great except it also changed the colour of the pasta I had included.
The result was a rather appropriate for Halloween dinner of pumpkin pasta. I
still had almost a whole head left so decided to try dipping it in random
assortments. My favourites were good old fashioned sugar and the old reliable
peanut butter. Rely on Roy to take the healthy and put it on its head… of
cabbage. Hope you enjoyed my Halloween trials now their over I can continue my
quest to try weird candies and not the usual stuff with a scary theme.
