The Halloween season is rapidly approaching and today I officially decided to be pumped about it. I love so many things about Halloween, but one thing that always gets me in the spirit is seeing Halloween-themed candy at the store, and today I brought home a bag full.

So, in the spirit of Holiday money-grubbing by the snack food industry, and my desire to use this site as an excuse to load up on candy, I give you the first edition of a new series called Geek Eats with a special Halloween edition.

Candy Corn Oreos, Snickers Pumpkins, Cadbury Screme Eggs, and Box of Boogers gummies are all pretty awesome, although I wouldn’t recommend eating them all at once in order to write an article. That will make you feel not so awesome.

Cadbury Mini Eggs

Mmm, Cadbury Mini Eggs…

I couldn’t care less about regular-type Cadbury Eggs. Simulating eating raw eggs isn’t one of my favorite pastimes, so I’ve always opted for the small, all chocolate eggs from Cadbury. If these were sold year round, I would probably never need M&Ms.

Nothing says easter like Reese Eggs. I usually try to hork down 3 or 4 packages every season, and last night my wife and I found something awesome on a routine snack run. A giant Reese Egg. It was practically calling our names from its display. We grabbed one and hit the check out.

We decided to be somewhat reasonable and split one instead of each getting one and being dead today. I let her do the honors. It looked like a pretty standard Reese Egg, just jumbo size.

It does taste a little different, just because the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter is different. I think the regular-type Reese Eggs have the perfect ratio going, this one had to have a lot thicker chocolate. All in all, it was a good snack, don’t know if it was worth the $3 plus we paid for it, but hey, Easter candy only comes around once a year.

Whats your favorite Easter candy?
