"Click This!": Laura's Halloween Candy Countdown

Right about now, you're pulling out those jumbo-sized bags of candy you bought weeks ago, getting ready for the ghosts and goblins that will be ringing the bell in less than 24 hours.

Maybe you're also retrieving that special swimming pool-sized orange bowl you bought expressly for said candy.

And then, practicing so much self-control, you resist sampling as you tear open that first bag and start to pour... but oh, who could have anticipated how yummy that much chocoate smells... even when it's still in the wrapper.

Just a few pieces couldn't hurt, right?
