If you’re hoping for lots of chocolate this Halloween, start by dressing the part.
Yesterday we asked people to share their great Halloween costume ideas for a chance to win 10lbs of Halloween candy and today I’m going to share a great, if cumbersome, costume I saw on the Food Network blog.

Learn more about this sweet costume on Food2, the Food Network’s official blog (they have a full length picture there, too).

That is the best costume EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing that might be better is if Carl dressed up like a Circus Peanut.
