No matter what your age, Halloween is the day to enjoy treats. The characters from Jane Eyre Gets Real share their own sweet picks below:
Sherlock Holmes: black licorice pipes
Hester Prynne: popcorn balls (popcorn being from the New World though actually not popular til 1820s when it was sold under the name “pearl”; however, Hester was always a trendsetter–single mom, big appliques on shirts–so we’ll say she discovered it first)
Mr. Darcy: marzipan
Jane Eyre: raisins, nuts & oranges
Emma Bovary: caramels sprinkled with fleur de sel
Heidi: Toblerone milk chocolate with honey and almond nougat
David Copperfield: saltwater taffy (as a boy he was in love with a sailor’s daughter)
Alice in Wonderland: White Rabbit Creamy Candy from Japan
Dorian Gray: Irish potato candy (chocolate shape like potatoes) OR bourbon filled truffles
Remember, always drive your broomstick responsibly!
I’m with Heidi…or maybe it’s Dorian…
I’m a peanut butter cup kind of gal myself, lol
I could see Dorian going for bourbon filled truffles but he seems like Irish potato candy wouldn’t be fancy enough for him…maybe at the beginning of the story before he became so completely debauched and corrupt?
Yes, that is why I gave him two candies, to fit the past & present sides of his persona–plus, I had just learned Irish potato candy is a “thing” and wanted to mention it!! Happy Halloween.
Lovely and fun, Annabelle.
Much thanks, Cynthia! Hope you got all the candy you wanted for Halloween.
