LOL True. But if there were any trick or treaters they would be the
neighbours kids, so I have to cut them a little slack. I compromised a
little this year and got the dark chocolate KitKat, which are edible,
though not as good as the stuff I would normally eat.

I used to buy dark chocolate for my son on chocolate giving occasions.
He wasn't crazy about it at first, but he he developed a taste for it
and now prefers it.
