Wow, I read up on that tradition... FUN. Hmmm... you could make a KILLING introducing Candies to the Brazil Market for the kids due to all the cool story telling is done!
In fact, for some years now, the children here in Brazil, especially in São Paulo, where I live, are already making jokes and asking for candy on Halloween! But just to compete with Halloween,it was created here the Saci's Day, this nice character of Brazilian folklore. Exactly the 31st of October ...!
