Trick or Treat with Snooth!

Our favorite childhood Halloween memories


With Halloween just days away, we figured it was the perfect time to reflect on our own favorite tricks and treats. In a quest to find the best blast-from-the-past traditions, we polled the Snooth office and gathered the Snoothers' most beloved childhood Halloween treat memories.

Discussing everything from popcorn balls to mummy hot dogs, we all got pretty nostalgic. Cue the emotional eating of our entire office candy corn supply!

What are your most beloved Halloween memories? Any candies you miss more than others? Let us know below!

Grape Eyeballs

"It always got me when food was made to look like scary things, like grape eyeballs and spaghetti brains! Today my tastes have matured a little bit, but I still love pumpkin cupcakes with candy corn baked in." -Leah

Counting Candy

"I always loved coming home after trick or treating. I would get in my pajamas and lie sprawled out across the floor, counting candy with my two older brothers. There was no digging in until all candies were separated into their respective piles. We'd compare who collected the most, though my being youngest, I always came in last." -Kate
