To me, a real Fun Size candy bar would look a little more like this:
Now That's FUN!

That’s what I call a good time!
With Halloween right around the corner, Fun Size treats are popping up all over the office. The treat that surfaced today was a Tootsie Roll pop.
Sign me up!
Let Me See That Tootsie Roll!
I love Tootsie Roll pops. They always remind me of that little owl from the commercials.
"Ah One, Ah Two, Ah Three. Three!"

“How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop? Ah one, ah two, a three. <Crunch!> Three!”
Love it.
Not one to forgo candy that’s staring me in the face, I am currently on my third Tootsie Roll pop of the day.
Nom.
They complement morning snacks, lunch and afternoon snacks quite well. 😉
After my Tootsie Roll pop appetizer, I broke into my lettuceless salad that included a mix of the following:
- Roasted Brussels sprouts
- Red pepper
- Edamame
- Sweet corn
- Feta cheese
- Fresh Portobello mushrooms
- Italian dressing
Git Yer Veggies!
So Colorful
Alongside the salad, I also enjoyed a baggie of pistachios.
Nutty
I’ve been loving these nuts ever since I had them during the POM Harvest Tour. I forgot how delicious these little green guys taste!
I loved alternating a pistachio with a lick of my Tootsie Roll pop. I’m a sucker for the sweet and salty combo!
Question of the Afternoon
What was your favorite candy to receive when trick-or-treating on Halloween?
In order of preference, my favorite Halloween treats included:
- Almond Joy
- Kit Kat
- 100 Grand (Seriously underappreciated!)
(When I was a youngin’ Reese’s Pieces hadn’t made it to the market yet otherwise they would definitely be on my list.)

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups were and always will be my favorite!! My other “fun size” favorites when trick-or-treating were Milky Ways, Snickers, & Peanut M&Ms. Oh, & I also love tootsie pops (except they sometimes scrape the roof of my mouth!)

How do you cook the edamame for your salad? I always forget about this protein source!
i buy it frozen! i just let it thaw in the fridge overnight! 🙂
No one mentioned the box of raisins?!?
😐 Just kidding!
Definitely Reese’s and Almond Joy
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups & Snickers
and i disliked the dentist who handed out toothbrushes
butterfingers! and nerds. and gobstoppers!
No way, you love 100 grand too!?!?! Yesssss
Someone once gave me a toothbrush on Halloween. Needless to say I told my friends not to trick-or-treat there haha.
creative lunch. I love almond joys but my favorite is def snickers and reeses with 3 musketeers in 3rd
Our Chef in culinary school gives the top 3 test scores a tootsie pop. I.E. I had my first one in YEARS this week 🙂
You’re so cute Julie!! I was happy to find Wonderful Pistachios in the supermarket! It brought me back to Pomharvest : )
I always love Reeses. But I remember as a kid my sister (who is 15 yrs. older than I am) would drive me to the nicest neighborhoods to trick or treat! I was always looking for the FULL size bars not the fun size! And then I would go home and sort and count every last piece of candy. I took a full inventory so I knew if my brother took any from my bag. Btw I HATED getting pennies, apples, or old peoples hard candy. 🙂
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Snickers
and definitely 100 grand!
aw, except I just looked up 100 grand and they aren’t gluten-free. 🙁 I guess no more for me!
Ooooo I loveeeeeed one hundred grands too, seriously, what happened to those?!!
Reese. I’m surprised no one mentioned coffee crisp! Loved kit kat, crunch bars, whoppers,twix, cookies and cream bars, Aero chocolate bars, smarties, mini bounty bars,,, The hard minty clear candies were the worst!
