A Dolly Parton Dress-up Contest for Halloween / What's in the Halloween Treats?

Here's a Halloween Contest you can enter if you DARE! Dolly Parton is offering a prize for the best look-a-like! (Tom and I don't do drag). Thanks to our friend Ed from Nashville who sent this!

From MEN'S HEALTH: What's really in Halloween Candy?
- BE WARNED: They also say to not eat candy, and that's not going to happen!
Halloween calories can add up and set you down a scary path of eating. Don’t let labels like “fun size” throw you off-guard—Halloween-sized treats typically deliver about 75 calories, 13 grams of carbs, 1g protein, and 3g fat per piece. So keep your quantities down: One a day is a good limit this week.
Trade the fake chocolate in Tootsie Rolls for the dark chocolate in Hershey’s Kisses—at 25 calories a pop, these treats contain the same skin and heart benefits found in red wine.
Trick your body into producing more energy with treats. Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups slow down the emptying of sugar from your stomach to your blood stream, delivering even energy for a few hours when you need a sweet boost.
