I don’t think I’ve ever actually eaten a proper “honey bun,” nor have I ever had any huge desire to start. But it’s tough to resist when they start dressing foxy.

From Cloverhill, it’s the official “Halloween Honey Bun.” Sold at the pretty incredible price of 2.99 for a big box of six huge buns, I couldn’t believe my good fortune. Honey buns, in orange bags, with pictures of spiders and bats on said bags. I was really hoping that the buns themselves would be shaped like something spooky, but dog shit ain’t spooky. I’m still in love, though. They’re so genericky and wholesomeish. The kind of thing you’d find for sale on an elementary school hot lunch line in October. If I thought kids would find it more “cool” than “insane,” I’d totally give these out to trick-or-treaters and make sure their scarves were nearly tucked before sending them off.

I found these last night, along with a recipe booklet detailing how to turn Hormel pepperoni slices into Halloween heaven. That was a bigger issue, and I’ve written about it in the latest Countdown entry.
