We are thrilled to once again be taking part in the online CountdownToHalloween<\/a>, celebrated by bloggers all across the internet! To kickoff our month-long countdown coverage, I wanted to present the single coolest Halloween candy package I’ve picked up since last year: an early 1960’s wrapper for a Brach’s chocolate covered Halloween Witch!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finding older Halloween-themed candy wrappers is far from easy – as they just didn’t create as much special holiday packaging in the past as they do now. But discovering a piece as beautiful as this Brach’s Witch wrapper is a true rarity. So it is with great enthusiasm that I finally get to share it here on the site. With that said, let me present this wonder of vintage Halloween confectionery packaging – the 1960’s Brach’s Chocolate Covered Halloween Witch wrapper:<\/p>\n

Brach’s – Chocolate Covered Halloween Witch – candy wrapper – 1960’s<\/p><\/div>\n

The colors, graphics and design on this one are all so unbelievable good. This wrapper just evokes everything that I love about Halloween nostalgia and in my opinion it is a true Halloween candy classic!<\/p>\n

And that’s it for today’s Halloween kickoff post. See you next time!<\/p>\n
