For Halloween 2012, Nestl\u00e9 Canada has whipped up cool repackaged versions of four of their biggest brands.\u00a0 Today I’ll be taking a look at these spooky offerings from up north.<\/p>\n

Being a collector here in the United States, it’s not easy to keep track of the limited edition offerings coming out of other countries.\u00a0 But even when you do find out about them, it can be near-impossible to track down the things.\u00a0 Fortunately for me, I’ve developed a great network of friends in strategic spots around the globe to assist me.\u00a0 Such was the case with these groovy Halloween Nestl\u00e9 offerings.<\/p>\n

When I heard about them I sent an e-mail off to illustrator-extraordinaire (and Canadian pal), Glen Mullaly<\/a>.\u00a0 Glen set about to candy-hunting and quickly had the pieces acquired.\u00a0 He packed them up and in just under a week they arrived at my doorstep where I could marvel at their Halloween goodness.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look:<\/p>\n

Canada – Nestl\u00e9 – Coffin Crisp – Coffee Crisp – Halloween candy bar wrapper – October 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

Canada – Nestl\u00e9 – ScAero – Aero – Halloween candy bar wrapper – October 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Canada – Nestl\u00e9 – Scaries – Smarties – Halloween candy box – October 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Canada – Nestl\u00e9 – Kit Kat – KitKat – Halloween candy bar wrapper – October 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

How neat are all of those?<\/p>\n

I should note that each of the three wrappers sports an area highlight of reflective foil, which isn’t clear on these scans.\u00a0 For the KitKat, it’s on the cat’s eyes, on the ScAero it’s the witch’s crystal ball, and on the Coffin Crisp the spider is foil.<\/p>\n

I love when companies take their holiday branding to such levels of fun.\u00a0 Way to go, Nestl\u00e9!<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s post.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
