kbobam Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Actually, I'm not a big 'candy' person. But I do get a 'craving' every once in a while. Want to remind everyone that if you've never gone to 'The Dollar Tree' for candy, you don't know what you're missing. They have so much stuff! I'm pretty sure they have more candy varieties than any other type of product. And although there are some 'off-brands', there are even more classic names that you already know and love. Got the malted milk balls you see below the other day. I was going to put a quarter in the picture for 'scale', but I forgot. I think you can still see that this is a huge 'theater-sized' box. They have many of the traditional 'movie' varieties. What? You're actually thinking it would make sense to sneak some of these in the next time you go to 'the pictures'? Well, geesh. Personally, the idea of maybe being sent to 'theater jail' terrifies me, but if you have nerves of steel and enjoy living life 'on the edge', I say 'go for it'! Halloween is also just around the corner, and let's face it. Doesn't matter how rich you may be, if you 'stock up' in advance and also save a little money in the deal, then that's a wonderful thing you'll feel good about. Which leads to another helpful hint! While you're intelligently pre-planning and saving money in the process, you should also buy a bunch of the 'theater boxes' along with more 'appropriate' Halloween candy. This will allow you at some point to exclaim to yourself or others "Oh shoot! What was I thinking?! These big boxes are no good for trick-or-treaters because the candy isn't individually wrapped! I'm just going to have to save this for myself! Dang!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Oh so barely related -- before I popped in over here I had just looked up recipes for peanut brittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Got burnt at the dollar store with those theater sized boxes. Mine just had 79cent size bags stuffed in the boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Close enough! Peanut brittle is one of the greatest things in existence, as long as you consider the current state of your teeth and adjust accordingly! ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
