What does the National Confectioners Association do for Halloween?

The National Confectioners Association lives in a world of candy all year long. What do they do at the office to celebrate the day devoted to candy? I would expect much revelry and perhaps even the day off of work. There would be lots and lots of free candy for all employees - maybe even candy flying out of windows onto the streets!

According to the Candy Dish Blog (the official blog of the National Confectioners Association), they have a pot luck lunch. I'm a bit disappointed with this news. However, at least someone brought in a cake laden with candy. As you can see in the photo, there is lots of candy all around the cake. Thanks goodness!

Does your workplace have them beaten? What are you doing today?

I guess we should have pointed out that there was lots of free candy for employees - we need to make sure our homes have the BEST trick-or-treat bowls in the neighborhood (uhm - full size bars! hello!). Too bad our office windows don't open because I love the thought of throwing candy down to passers-by. Maybe I can drive home with the sun roof open and throw out fistfuls as I drive? We were pretty excited about the potluck, though ... since we do live "in a world of candy all year long" we can get pretty riled up over pasta and vegetarian chili and meatballs. Happy Halloween from the National Confectioners Association

Yeah, it was nice to revel in having "real food" instead of sugary goodness, not that there's anything wrong with sugary goodness.
