For today’s entry in our Countdown To Halloween, I’m going to look at a selection of offerings from Praim Confections<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s a company you probably haven’t heard of, but you’ve almost certainly seen their seasonal bars and appreciated their strong design or humor.\u00a0\u00a0 Make the jump to check them out!<\/p>\n

I first started noticing bars from the Bloomsberry<\/em> Chocolate Company a number of years ago, and they stuck out to me for their bold package graphics and design.\u00a0 Bloomsberry would eventually become Praim a few years later and continue the broad range of distinctive bars they were known for.<\/p>\n

For those that aren’t familiar with the brand, Praim might be best known for their “Emergency Chocolate” type of offerings, like this one:<\/p>\n

\"Praim

Praim – Emergency Chocolate White – 3.5 oz milk chocolate Valentine’s box package – 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve featured wrappers from Praim bars once before here on CollectingCandy.com – just last year for Hanukkah – when I showcased their Mensch on a Bench bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Getting back to the holiday at hand, here’s an early example of a pre-Praim, 2008 Bloomsberry Halloween Chocolate bar box from my archives:<\/p>\n

\"Bloomsberry

Bloomsberry & Co – Think Chocolate – Next Full Moon – 3.5 oz milk chocolate Halloween box package – October 2008<\/p><\/div>\n

By 2013 Bloomsberry was now Praim, and here’s a nice graphical Halloween offering from that year:<\/p>\n

\"Praim

Praim – RIP Rich Intense Pleasure – 3.5 oz milk chocolate Halloween box package – October 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

Praim also gave us a Halloween variation of their trademark “Emergency Chocolate” bar in 2014:<\/p>\n

\"Praim

Praim – Midnight Oil Broomstick Fuel – 3.5 oz milk chocolate Halloween box package – October 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally getting up to the 2016 Halloween season, Praim has produced an activity promotion on their bar wrappers called “You’ve Been Booed”.<\/p>\n

The idea here is to use the wrappers from their specialty bars as part of your Halloween seasonal tradition.\u00a0 I should note that, so far, I’ve only found these at Target stores so they could be a soft-exclusive to that chain.\u00a0 Not sure if it will catch on, but I think that the “You Have Been Booed!” concept is a cute one.<\/p>\n

\"Praim

Praim – You Have Been Booed – 3.5 oz milk chocolate Halloween wrapper – October 2016<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Praim

Praim – You’re My Boo – Booed – 3.5 oz milk chocolate Halloween wrapper – October 2016<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Praim

Praim – Trick or Treat and Something Sweet – Booed – 3.5 oz milk chocolate Halloween wrapper – October 2016<\/p><\/div>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share on Praim’s<\/a> “You’ve Been Booed” promotion and their history of fun Halloween bars.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
