Marmie: Scarin’ The Poop Outta ‘Em

Marmitetoasty: Last year one child wet her pants and one child poo'd his trousers when they came a knocking at our door :) ... so this year we aim to up our mission and try and better last years score lol … after the initial fear, this year besides the normal sweets on offer to the children, we, today, have al'dente cooked some smallish sprouts and tomorrow we will cover them in chocolate and dust with coco powder so they resemble chocolate truffles…… cant wait to see the look on them little whipper snappers faces as they bite into a soggy sprout :) that will learn them to come knocking at my door lol.

Question: OK, if I translate Marmie correctly, she sez that she likes to scare the poop outta kids that knock on her door. This year, she plans to cover some brussel sprouts in chocolate and coco powder so they resemble truffles. Ya gotta know Marmie to appreciate her humor. How about you? What kind of treats will you hand out at your door Saturday night?
