“Nothing on earth is so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night.”
Steve Almond
Why this quote resonates
We love how this quote says out loud what every candy fan secretly feels. The pile of sweets at the end of the night really is the best part for many people. We chose it because it brings humour and sugar to our Halloween collection.
Meaning of the quote
This line comes from Candyfreak (2004), where Steve Almond writes about his love of sweets. In the book, it is part of a longer sentence about the author’s candy haul. The popular short version is a trimmed paraphrase, so the wording online may differ a little. At its heart, the joke is that a full bag of candy can feel more wonderful than any sight in nature.
When people share this quote
It works especially well after a long round of trick-or-treating, when everyone sorts their candy at home. People also share it as a caption for a photo of a full bucket or as a joke on a candy bowl. Sweet lovers, kids and parents who sneak a few pieces will like it.
