Favorite Halloween Candy – Butterfingers Rock!

My  favorite candy to receive from my trick-or-treating adventures was a Butterfinger 🙂   I loved the salty, crispy butter flavored chocolate crunch on a cold Halloween night sitting with my friends counting our booty.    Butterfingers were invented in Chicago by a German chocolatier named Otto Schnering who then sold the company to Nestle.  THANKS OTTO!

Trick-or-treating started in the British Isles sometime during the Middle Ages as mumming or going from house-to-house at Christmas or at other holidays.  Mummers would offer a song or a speech and  receive something in return such as food, drink or a Butterfinger!  So happy mumming everyone!   Hope you get your favorite treat this year – do you have a favorite?
