Three aisles were devoted to Halloween Candy &#8211; already!!!!<br \/>\nTruthfully, I found it a tad disturbing.  First of all, it was 77 degrees in NYC yesterday.  Halloween and 77 degrees don&#8217;t mix well.  And it was a reminder that &#8220;The Season of Temptation&#8221; is fast approaching.<br \/>\nIt was my plan to send out some Halloween tips closer to Halloween, but after seeing all that temptation right in front of me, after hearing the call of the bite size Babe Ruth&#8217;s,  I thought maybe I best reach out sooner than later.  Before y&#8217;all (and me, too) start stocking up for Halloween.<br \/>\nHere is my first in a series of bite-size tips that will get us through the holidaze glaze together.  My apologies for those of you who are not ready to think about the holidaze glaze yet.  Me either!  Not yet ready &#8211; but the candy is ready to be bought!!!!<br \/>\nI am going to lay it out &#8211; tell it to you straight.  Bits of REALITY!<br \/>\n<big><strong>REALITY BITES:<\/strong><\/big>  <strong>Do <big><em>NOT<\/em><\/big> buy Halloween candy until the day before Halloween!!!!!  <\/strong> lest you will eat.
