No, it is not too early. Consider the prices out there, stocking up ahead of the game is the best way to go. I REFUSE to buy American – I’m sorry to Americans who hate Yam Tits and his bootlicking titties, but buying anything American is simply not in the cards.

There is also Cadbury. Cadbury creates a conundrum as they were bought out by Mondelez International…yeah, Amurican….Cadbury’s head office is still in the U.K. So, up to you if this is arm’s length enough. I am not sure yet.

I used to make candy for Halloween but we get over 250 kids on average, that night, currently. I just don’t have that kind of energy anymore. I would love to do this, the homes that gave us homemade treats were always my favourite as a child, but the time required for the amount and the cost of ingredients? I don’t think it is feasible. But hey, if you don’t get many kids, this is a tasty alternate, I would suggest an ingredient list be attached, allergies etc.
I would LOVE to be able to give out Purity ( https://purity.nf.ca/confectionery/ ), a Newfoundland company but the shipping costs? I would have to mortgage my house….
If anyone has any other suggestions? Please post here and give a girl, a hand!
