Milky Way is out of this world

My favorite candy I am looking forward to eating during the Halloween weekend is a Milky Way.
Oldtimecandy.com says it has rich chocolate, creamy caramel and smooth nougat. Chocolate is already addictive but with the creamy caramel all wrapped up perfectly into a candy bar makes it taste amazing.

I am pretty sure I am not the only one who can agree that the Milky Way is a wonderful candy to snack on anytime. According to 247wallst.com, the story on America’s Favorite Halloween Candy.

The Milky Way came in at No. 9 on the list. In the past year sales rose by 5 percent to $93.46 million.
Sales of snack-sized Milky Way, typically popular around Halloween for trick-or-treaters, rose by more than 10 percent.

Twenty-nine brands in total, including $5 billion global brands — M&M’s, Snickers, Dove/ Galaxy, Mars/Milky Way and Twix. Three Musketeers is another leading brand.

So I was not able to retrieve too many sweets Thursday night but at least I still have my pack of Milky Way to satisfy me for the rest of the weekend.

The caramel delight inside is everything to a chocolate lover.

If you find yourself addicted to chocolate just know there is a scientific study to why people can’t get enough of it.

Those “feel good” receptors in the brain combine with a compound just as if someone was addicted to a substance.

Chocolate cravings come and go but the varieties of sweets are endless to choose from every Halloween.
