    Sweet! Thanks for the treat! :D

      Thanks, Darth. I'm enjoying your puzzles as well.

      • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-30T12:00:38.102Z
        An exorbitant price to pay for a C-and-Y bar, don't you think, Hector?
      • Berto 🤓2:53 · 2023-10-30T11:20:23.726Z
        Cheers You! Liked the intro too lol!
        • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-30T12:03:11.343Z
          Thanks, Berto. Always like to keep my Muggle friends up-to-date.
        • hoover 3s · 2023-10-30T13:13:11.518Z
          I really wanted the answer to be CANDY CORN, but this will do. Thanks for the treats!
          • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-30T22:17:21.668Z
            All things considered, that's not a bad alternate answer, hoover.
          • boharr 2s · 2023-10-30T13:32:11.589Z
            You are a clever one, Clark. I really loved the bars. Thanks.
            • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-30T22:19:41.043Z
              Thanks, Boharr!

              I’m impressed Clark!! You should come to a Zoom. I’d really like to see your man bun.🙂
              • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T18:59:24.656Z
                It is pretty impressive, Meg. 😁

                What a playfully wondrous way to start the week, a welcome antidote to this soggy start in the Northeast. Thanks for the chuckles, Clark, both in the puzzle and in your prelude. There's a whole lot of wit and wisdom afoot.
                • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T19:02:08.011Z
                  Thanks, Tom. The weather here in Linux Habitation hasn't been great either. Temps got down into the low 70s last night, and I had to ask Mom to turn up the heat.
                • Ergcat 19:39 · 2023-10-30T15:20:21.604Z
                  Fun meta! Liked the visual component! Got the “C and Y” themers fast but then what? Well, just look at the grid! Ha!
                  • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T19:02:36.498Z
                    Glad you enjoyed it, Elaine.

                      Thank you, SamKat9. BTW, are you related to Ergcat above?

                      Thanks, Clark! Loved 1A - TACTIC is one hella reverse-candy strategic maneuver. P.S. We have a beanbag chair and a 9" B&W TV waiting for you down in our basement if you ever need a place to stay on the east coast. Happy Halloween!
                      • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T19:24:41.645Z
                        Ah, you caught me on my TICTAC ruse, Michael. Nice work, and thanks for offering your basement. Does it have WiFi?
                        • BarbaraK 2s · 2023-11-01T12:45:26.787Z
                          Wifi? I had you pegged as a 1200 baud dial up modem guy!
                          Fun puzzle, thanks! Happy half price candy day!
                          • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-11-02T12:39:35.166Z
                            Thanks, Barbara. Yes, I found a way to dial in to WiFi with my 56KB modem. Works great and super fast! I hardly notice any lag while playing Pong.

                          Thanks, Kay. It's great to be back!
                        • DrTom 5s · 2023-10-30T17:29:14.219Z
                          Figured it our before I figured it out. Kept finding the obvious Candy Bars (even perhaps the unintended Clark?) and tried CHOCOLATE (a natural try I thought) but it was wrong. I did not tumble to the C and Y thing until later but still did not get the last part until I started saying WET BAR, OPEN BAR, etc. VERY NICE. I'm actually sitting here munching Haribo Gold Bears while I try to construct a puzzle or two. Not as umami-like as a good Clark Bar or Butterfingers, but also not a s fattening. So, I am going to get some more adhesive tape to repair my glasses, wash the excess ink off of my pocket protector, tap my Farah Fawcett poster for luck and get back to it. Thanks for the fun puzzle Clark
                          • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T20:50:05.405Z
                            Hey, wait a minute, DrTom! With that description of yourself, were you, by any chance, ever in or around Linux Habitation about 35 years ago??? 😄
                            • DrTom 5s · 2023-11-01T04:11:42.020Z
                              No, at that point I was probably trying to compile pharmacokinetic and dosing simulation programs written in Lotus 1-2-3 macros into stand-alone programs for distribution and trying to learn to program DBase (eventually switched to Quatro) but once WYSIWYG took over it was too much for this spaghetti coder.... I tried to learn Linux and bought into LFS, but all I managed to do is program a Charlie Brown character...might have been a spelling error.😁
                          • merlinnimue 🤓7:17 · 2023-10-30T17:40:20.636Z
                            Wonderful puzzle... as ever I bow to all you genius setters and solvers... congrats, you sports!... I'll see myself out
                            • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T20:53:33.713Z
                              Thank you for the kind words, merlinnimue.
                            • woozy 🤓14:53 · 2023-10-30T18:20:16.620Z
                              Took me way too long! Fun and simple. (Never heard of Black Cows and the addition of black in the clue kept bugging me. Amazingly I took forever to notice the other three more hidden candies [I love Aero which I imagine most usaians have never heard of])
                              But ... the the top four entries all spell C and Y; is there any significance to bottom four entries?
                              • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T20:56:38.872Z
                                I see you figured it out below, woozy. Re: the Aero bars, do you live in Canada by any chance? I hear they're very popular there.
                                • woozy 🤓14:53 · 2023-11-01T22:59:55.573Z
                                  Canada is were I get them every chance I get (those and Ganong Bounty bars) but no. I don't live in Canada.
                              • Dave C 3s · 2023-10-30T18:22:38.109Z
                                I saw the C and Y right away and I wanted it to be candy corn - until I saw the types of bars...
                                • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T20:59:19.574Z
                                  Yes, Dave, in hindsight Candy "Corn" would've been another fun option for this puzzle. Definitely describes some of the humor!
                                • woozy 🤓14:53 · 2023-10-30T18:35:03.566Z
                                  Ak... never mind. I get it now C and Y + ______ bars. VERY CLEVER and cute.
                                • whimsy 🤓14:43 · 2023-10-30T18:36:40.302Z
                                  Would you believe I missed the C/Y on the first pass!? (Somehow though, the bars jumped out at me immediately -- what does that say? 😄 ) The beginning letters of the first 3 C clues happen to be C, L, A. Thought the answer might be Clark Bars and that you were deviously hiding it in plain sight!
                                  • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T21:06:19.557Z
                                    Ah, another another good hindsight re: hiding "Clark Bar" in the clues. Where were you when we, er, I needed you for pretesting, Claudia? 😄
                                  • whimsy 🤓14:43 · 2023-10-30T18:43:53.544Z
                                    Oh, and I bet it'd be a scary trip down to your cellar, but I imagine any brave trick or treater will be rewarded with one of your famous home-made, cellophane-wrapped, sticky popcorn balls!
                                    Nice going, Clark!
                                    • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T21:06:44.858Z
                                      You got that right!
                                    • Carolyn 4s · 2023-10-30T19:20:18.249Z
                                      Delicious puzzle. I saw the C/Y but hadn't heard of Aero or Black Cows but took the plunge anyway. Loved the BARS!
                                      • Abide 3s · 2023-10-30T20:03:22.408Z
                                        I seem to recall a Black Cow was a Slo-Poke dipped in chocolate...
                                        • Clark E. Tripe constructor · 2023-10-31T21:11:31.751Z
                                          Thanks, Carolyn. Peter's right about the Black Cows. See if woozy can send you a couple of those Aeros.

                                                  I didn't at first but instantly thought about Clark Bars vis a vis your name because they were HUGE when I was little (I am OLD. LOL).

                                                Not to be too sugary ... but that was a yummy puzzle, Messrs. Tripe!

                                                    Skor! That had me snickering… mounds of fun to take five and solve this during breaks ‘twix long stretches of work. I missed the significance of the short bottom words completely… just guessed “bars” because of the visual (puzzle looks like a jack-o-lantern behind bars!). Also tried to work your name into the solution, Mr. “Bob Cratchit, to Scrooge, (old spelling)” and “Offal entree.” (I feel pretty sure it’s an alias and anagrams to something obvious I should know, but as ever I’m not in the know with the cool kids). Great puzzle - give us s’mor!!

                                                          Do they still make Clark Bars? Or online E-bars?, Or my favorite, Tripe Bars?

                                                            Hi Jay. Not sure about E-bars, but I believe they make tripe bars for dogs.

Definitely saw the "Aero" reference (I live in Ottawa, so we gave out some of those mini-size bars for Halloween)...and knew Heath and Milky Way, but had to use Google images for Black Cow. Nice!
