To think just because you turn something orange doesn't mean it's Halloweeny.

Mr Kipling 'Fiendish Fancies' being today's example.

[PistachioTruffle]

YABU.

Fiendish fancies have a slight orange flavour to them, and are amazingly delicious and more-ish. I am 32 weeks pregnant, craving them massively and worried about how I'll get by when they've disappeared next week

[honeybeeridiculous]

Just seen SCaero bubbles, with orange centres

[Heartbrokenmum73]

Was in Tesco with DS (5) earlier and he pointed out the 'punkins' and the 'cotwebs' .

Simple minds and simple pleasures but hallowbeanz made me smile. YAstillNBU though.

I grew up in Scotland and went guising every year. I now live in Wales and send the kids guising every year, we don't do trick or treating in this house and the dcs understand why I think the fact that the village shop already has a sign up saying that they will not sell eggs and flour to under-16s helps me to explain it

[liquidstate]

guising sounds much funner that trick or treat.

[giraffesCantGoGuising]

Yup guising rocks

[MrsLouisTheroux]

Looking forward to 1st of Nov when all of this shit of these products will be reduced to make room for their Christmas extravaganza!

[honeybeeridiculous]

letsgomaths the green pool is down south, bet the kids will love it! mine are too old now but would of been straight in when they were younger

[mawbroon]

Yes, I get annoyed with this. Here in Scotland, we have our own traditions which I don't think should be fucked with.

Turnip lanterns and guising. Proper guising, not trick or treat shite.

I didn't see a pumpkin until I was an adult!

[Sparklingbrook]

giraffes Yes Halloween preferable to Christmas even with all the orangeness.

[letsgomaths]

Come to Sainsbury's, where it's Hallowe'en all year round!

Which swimming pool will have green water? Want want want!

[MrsPennyapple]

It was indeed, Sparkling

[Sparklingbrook]

Excellent, the Halloween onion MrsP. Was it orange by any chance..?

[giraffesCantGoGuising]

I love Halloween love it love it love it!

I hate Christmas though.

[MrsPennyapple]

Maryland cookies did a toffee apple version a few years ago, they were lovely.

We were in a cafe today and 2yr old DD pointed at the stickers on the window and said "look mummy, a bat, a ghost and an onion!" Not really relevant to the thread but made me smile :-)

[Somethingpink]

The Halloween cinder toffee cake bars are the best..me and dp wait all year round for them to come back on sale. We love halloween just for these

[Financeprincess]

One of my friends works for a major confectionery manufacturer and she says that Halloween is the third biggest sweet-flogging occasion, not far behind Christmas and Easter. It's growing massively. She hates it as much as I do...what was wrong with apple bobbing, and why does everything have to be Americanised for profit? (Halloween, school 'prom' instead of end of term disco etc etc).

[Sparklingbrook]

That sounds brilliant and awful all at the same time honey.

[honeybeeridiculous]

Our local pool is having a Halloween party and they are dying the water flourescent green! Hope it washes off I love creme eggs, not seen a scream egg tho

[Sparklingbrook]

YY Knees and adding toffee/treacle to everything and saying it's Bonfire themed.

[spanky2]

It is true. I got jaundice on Friday and my wee turned dark orange. Not halloweeny at all! Waiting for test results.

[KneesoftheBeeHellZeBub]

On 1st November, they'll be picking the spiders/bats/cobwebs off the cakes and sticking holly/xmas trees/stockings on

[fuzzpig]

I've found some really cool Halloween themed cakes/biscuits that just involve icing/assembling normal fairy cakes etc. Quite excited.

I'll steer clear of the 'scream eggs' etc though, thanks!

at the scary towies

[SheldonsMeeMaw]

Good point K8!
