Last night, and tonight, as well, (the 31st, and the 1st) there has been a steady stream of children, each one cuter than the next, ringing the doorbell, and thrusting out their bags, bins, or bowls, hoping for the inevitable Día de Muertos candies. Unfortunately, I did not get many photos of them, as I was too busy writing a couple of other posts. Here are a few that I did get.
One thing I have noticed is that, at this house anyway, and, at the major stores, Sam’s Club included, there was not a single piece of chocolate candy to be found. Not one.
I told our family here that I had never seen, or been a part of, a Halloween celebration that did not include about five pounds of chocolate candies, and all that that entails. They were amazed that it was so.
Actually, now that I am really thinking about this, there is not a lot of chocolate anywhere down here. There is the occasional chocolate frosting on a donut, or a bit of chocolate as in the hot chocolate drink, but as a rule, there really is not much chocolate to be found.
Interesting, to be sure.
