Trick or Treat Contest!

by

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, MUSERS!!!

In honor of this special day, we’re having a bit of a contest.

Becca and I looove to go trick-or-treating, so we’ve decided to get an early jump on those candy-snatching kids that’ll be showing up at your door later tonight.

In fact, we hope that all our Musers will have lots of sugary treats to hand out to us in our comment section, because we’ve worked really hard on our costumes, see?

Angela
Becca

Now everyone knows that while we’d never turn away any type of sweet morsel, all trick-or-treaters have a favorite treat. You know, one that will make Becca or Angela’s eyes light up as our Musers drop them into our cutesy plastic pumpkin pails in the comment section. In fact, we might get SO excited to be given this extra-special treat, we’ll hand out a treat of our own in return!

The Game:

Offer each of us a treat in the comment section: ONE treat for each of us per post please. (Gotta watch them hips, you know.) If you offer one of us our favorite, then you win a GHOULISHLY AWESOME PRIZE.

The Ghoulishly Awesome Prize:

A first chapter critique or Picture Book critique, your choice (x 2 Becca and I will both critique it)

Note: 2 Ghoulishly Awesome prizes will be awarded–1 to the first person who guesses Angela’s fav, and 1 to the first to guess Becca’s fav.

Legal Mumbo-Jumbo:

Feel free to bestow compliments on our costumes and watch the comments section to see which ones turn out to be not our favorites. Enter, following the directions, and then if I post telling you that your choice was not one of our favorites, go ahead and offer us another candy handout! I’ll be attentive and won’t keep you hanging too long, I promise.

Oh my…was that the doorbell? Better get your candy bowl and go answer it…

    What can I say? I wanted to win.
    🙂

    Thanks for the fun! And Becca, Snickers ARE amazing!

    Well, halloween is pretty much about the kiddies… at least you get to have a little fun too. 😉

  2. Becca says

    Woot! I can’t believe I missed out on the back-and-forth fun, but at my daughter’s tender age, she seems to think this day is just like any other and, therefore, is all about her.

    *is scandalized*

    Congrats, Beth. I knew it would come out right away, but I must be true to the nougaty goodness that is Snickers.

    And Jessica–wow. That was real perseverance there. Can’t wait to read both of your pieces!

  4. Jessica says

    So… I have a 1 1/2 page preface, and my first chapter (ok, all my chapters…) is short.

    So, can I send you my preface too, or do I have to leave it off? *blinks*

  8. Angela says

    Haven’t even heard of that one, so nope! I can’t wait to take it home and try it.

    *Becca attempts to steal candy from my bucket and I slap her hand*

    Hey, back off, Princess. These are my chocolate bars…

  16. Angela says

    Oh, we’re getting so close!! Can you feel it?? Nope to those, keep ’em coming, and thanks for all the compliments. Becca really outdid herself this year.

  19. Angela says

    Jessica–not the cookies and cream, nope. And my favorite chocolate bar is one that’s available year-round here in Canada, and is made by the same company that makes a certain, very popular gooey egg-shaped Easter treat.

    That’s it–no more hints!! Keep the guesses coming!!

  22. Angela says

    Rule breaker! Rule Breaker! LOL!

    *takes all the candy*

    So -murmff- good. *pats stomach*

    I’m feeling generous, so I’ll just say nope to all of those and please try again, IF you give me a spectacular compliment on my fabulous halloween costume. Fair? I made becca slave for hours over the sewing machine to get it right, after all…. 🙂

  24. Angela says

    Nope, I like the kit kats, (especially dark kit kat) but it’s the wrong brand. If you think about a very popular Easter treat, you’ll hit on the right brand!

    Keep the guesses coming folks!

  27. Julia says

    How about a 70% dark chocolate bar from Lindt?
    Or…a Dagoba bar
    Or…a Dove dark chocolate bar…

    Now I cannot stop thinking about chocolate!

    Gimme a break, gimme a break, break Angela off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar?

    (Now I’m determined to get this and getting hungrier with every guess!)

    ~Michelle

    (PS: I really like your blog and I’m glad I stumbled across it!)

  29. Angela says

    Nope, but we’re getting a bit closer…it isn’t a ‘gooey center’ type chocolate bar…

    *watches Becca scarf her favorite bar with envy*

  30. Anonymous says

    All this talk of chocolate and now I’m getting hungry!

    How about a Nestle Crunch bar for Angela?

    ~Michelle

  31. Angela says

    Now my husband loves three musketeers, so I don’t even get a chance to eat those in my house.

    HINT: My fav is a chocolate bar, so you guys are on the right path.

    Keep the guesses coming and feel free to keep trying if you’ve already guessed! Let’s find a winner!!

    I saw your link over on the BlueBoards and decided to pop over.

    I’m going to give Becca another Snickers (because you can never have too many) and Angela a 3 Musketeers Bar. (I’ve been snacking on a quite a few of those today!)

    Happy Halloween!

    ~Michelle

  33. Angela says

    Not a Mounds, but I haven’t had one in ages, so I’ll be sure to enjoy it! There’s still room in my pumpkin, so guess again!

  39. Angela says

    Candy corn is definitely a Halloween staple, but not my fav! Feel free to try again, my awesomely fashion-astute and complimentary friend!

  43. Angela says

    Ha–I told Becca someone would guess hers right away! Congrats, Beth–Becca’s fav is Snickers, so you WIN!

    Angela however…while she enjoys the cosmic marriage of peanut butter and chocolate, is still on the lookout for her favorite holiday treat!

    Who’s next?
