What kind of Candy do you Like?

Some of the churches around here have people who make great big chocolate peanut butter eggs. I love those.

@capirani They sound yummy. Chocolate and peanut butter were made for each other.

Those are excellent choices. I can almost taste them now.

I remember those hollow bunnies. There was not a lot too them, but they tasted good.I like the black jelly beans but would not pass up other colors.

@akalinus I love those bunnies, except I preferred the solid chocolate bunnies. They are harder to find.

@capirani I think you need to go to a sweetshop or a candy store to find those. They would be quite expensive. It is easier to find solid chocolate eggs.

I did not know they were called Robin's Eggs. That is kind of neat.

@akalinus I'm the same way. Chocolate should be its own food group.

Chocolate is my favorite thing to eat of all time. I used to joke that it is a major food group next to ice cream.

@kaylachan It should be, indeed. Chocolate is a vegetable, isn't it?

@akalinus - I still do, chocolate puts me in good mood.

@LadyDuck That's great. Maybe I should try eating dark chocolate at night for sweet dreams.

Dark chocolate is very good for you. I remember you said you eat a piece every evening. Yummy!

I think they are the greatest. I forgot about lemon drops. I used to buy no sugar lemon drops to suck on instead of eating. I don't enjoy spearmint leaves or milk duds as much as other types.

@just4him I still buy candy but only allow myself one sugary treat each day. Otherwise, I would dive into the bag head first, eating all the candy kisses I could see.

@akalinus I don't buy candy anymore other than dark chocolate. An open bag and I wouldn't need to worry about losing weight. I wouldn't lose anything.

@akalinus I don't think so. At least not in the huge amounts. Some grocery stores have bulk food isles where there are large box containers with everything dry you can think of, such as oatmeal, pastas, nuts, candy, and it is all sold by weight. There are large scoops available for scooping up the bulk foods into bags. Then the bags are labeled shut and weighed at the checkout along with your other groceries. When I think of penny candy, I see in my mind a small area in a store where the candy is a penny apiece and set up for children to be able to reach.

@capirani Yeah, you are right. I do remember buying pasta in bulk. I guess I skipped over the candy.

I remember penny candy. Is that the same as bulk candy? It is too bad that we have to watch our diets as we get older. I still like candy though.

@akalinus It tastes better that is all I know Jo Ann..to me anyway. I like the one called Panda.

@RebeccasFarm I will look for it. It would be a new candyland adventure for me.

Reeses is great in pieces. How is Aussie licorice different from other types?

@akalinus Do orange slices taste like orange? Might sound like a silly question but I don't give anything for granted. If so, not my favorite flavor but I would eat some. Fried egg candy looks like fried egg but it tastes like... sweet and... gummy. I read it's supposed to have a subtle peach flavor but I don't recall.

@sabtraversa I think they sort of taste like oranges but they are gummies. I don't like most gummies but I love those.

A lot of people don't like licorice. Orange slices are like gummies and circus peanuts are like hard marshmallow ?? peanuts. I don't know what fried egg candy is. I see it is on Amazon. Does it taste like fried eggs? It is expensive so I don't know if I should get it without knowing how it tastes.

@TheHorse RIP, Grandma. I hope she enjoyed her candy.

I love Mounds and dark chocolate. I have not found any black licorice in the stores in forever. They now have chocolate Twizzlers which are okay but I really want the black licorice.

@akalinus I'd ask Grandma where she gets hers, but she's been in heaven since 1985 or so.

I pretty much stick to chocolate now too. If I need to watch the calories, I might as well eat what I enjoy the most and that is chocolate.

@JudyEv There is just something about chocolate that nothing else can match.

@akalinus It's much the same for me.

I like the black licorice too. I have not seen it at the stores in the last few years. They now sell chocolate licorice, which is not the same as black licorice.

@akalinus Oh really I have never of chocolate licorice. I buy the Australian Black Licorice. It is so good.

@mildredtabitha Oh, okay. I guess I should have known that.

@akalinus I'm glad to have shared about it

@akalinus pinpops is another name for lollipop.

Yes, Easter is early this year. It usually happens in April but the date is determined by the phases of the moon which I don't quite understand.

@akalinus yes, i got used to easter in april too. crazy calendar shifting

Soft and sweet is always a treat. What's not to love?

I like to eat one Cadbury cream egg at Easter time. I can't get too wild with eating things because I like a lot of goodies around the holiday times.

I never heard of amla candy. I searched it and found a recipe for Indian Gooseberry candies. Is that the kind you like?

I like the spice jelly beans but not the cinnamon. I am not a fan of jellies.

Those are really good. I am glad you enjoy them. My family loves them too.

That is probably the best policy. I throw caution to the wind and eat chocolate. We will not get this day back and there might not be a tomorrow.
