Hey Omaha Steve! What Kind of Candy Should We Be Buying?

We bought our candy a month ago. Usually my rule is: "DON'T BUY ANYTHING YOU LIKE TO EAT!!!" But, the good stuff was on sale, AND I had a coupon. So I broke my rule and bought the good stuff.

And, over the past month, we've eaten almost everything.

So, Steve, you always know the good Union candy makers. Can you fill us in again this year?

I saw a list here:

it was just posted 10/1/2013.

I was surprised to see Hershey's on there as I had thought they had moved their whole operation to Mexico about 5 years ago. Maybe part of Hershey's is still in the US?

Not my favorite and union made. But they'll do in a pinch, so the leftovers won't go to waste.

sending kids to unknown houses to beg is dangerous, plus candy is bad for you@!
