SMITHFIELD TOWNSHIP -- Christmas has peppermint sticks, Valentine's Day has chocolates, but the biggest candy holiday of them all is Halloween.

Kelly and Rick Yaris are visiting the Poconos from Maryland, and this trip, their souvenirs will be something sweet.

"Good and Plenty is his, nonpareils, chocolate milk balls…"

If the couple seems a little overwhelmed, it's no surprise.

There are hundreds of candies to choose from at the Country Kettle near Marshalls Creek. This Halloween mom and dad want to make sure their daughters have all the favorites.

"Anything chocolate for her, and root beer gummies and gum, gum for both of them…"

Management says while grown-ups come here looking for candy that reminds them of childhood, kids are actually all about the gummies.

"Gummies are always popular," said Pam Schrenko, Country Kettle owner. "Gummies come in 15, 20 different flavors including filled gummy bears and gummy spiders which are popular this time of year."

You might think with such a long shopping list the Yarises would be full but Kelly says the trick or treaters better watch out this Halloween.

"I steal all the Tootsie Rolls!"
