Fall wasn't the only thing in the air in the cozy little town of Nabias, though it may have been the reason. Halloween was fast approaching, and that meant candy. Great glittering gobs of candy: colorful, tangy hard candies that glistened like jewels, and sweet, melting chocolates that dissolved on your tongue, and caramels jam-packed with cream and nuts... It was one of the busiest times of the year for Kane Peppermint, Nabias's premier candymaker. Though Kane's handcrafted treats were a bit spendy to give out to trick-or-treaters (though goodness knew some of the folks in posh neighborhoods did try), they were deeply beloved for Halloween parties. This year's favorite was the Pumpkin Truffle: A delicious, pumpkin-shaped bit of white chocolate that oozed with a pumpkin-pie-flavored ganache center. Everyone loved them and wanted a piece.
Unless, of course, you were Bonnie Bonnehomme. Then you despised them with every flavor of your being... and wanted a piece.
