I am disappointed.

See, now that I live in my own house instead of a flat for the first time ever on Halloween, and in a reasonably family-ish neighbourhood, too, I figured I might get kids round trick-or-treating. So I was ready! I had a huge bowl full of yummy treats. And I made sure I left the porch light on, and all. But no children came. :-(

I wanted to ward off evil spirits with propitiatory offerings, dammit!

I guess now I will just have to eat all those sweets myself...

I put it to you: could there possibly be sweets more utterly Gothic than these?

Not only is the packet jet black, but the sweets inside are also jet black and come in black wrappers. I am eating some now, and can report that they are of the same boiled sweet type as e.g. Fox's Glacier Fruits or Glacier Mints, and taste a little bit like Black Jacks. And I fear that when I next look in a mirror, my tongue might now prove to be jet black, as well.

Nummy!
