The Cool Candy Thread

[wendybeth]

Lol, Erica!!! I used to love all that wax candy crap- been years since I've had any, though.

I know this isn't candy, but I love caramel corn. I'm not a big candy eater, but if we were talking dessert........

I wanted to try the Honey glazed corn in Critter Country last year, but sadly when I went by they were wainting for some maintnance on the cart. Oh well.

What??? Wow... we've used ours. More than twice! And I am fairly sure that Lashbear has used his.
But... admittedly, its not the same as new ones from the store.

I adore the M*azing bars with the peanut butter.....
I am dying to know more about the Wild Cherry Licorice Rabbits, any idea who makes them?

I may eventually use mine. I just hate to get it all sugary. It looks so nice in the box.

Next time I buy them I'll give you more information about them.

Are my feeling of actual fear that I know at least 3 people who own Peeps makers valid? I think they are!

Hey, I own one, but I haven't used it yet. No jury on Earth would convict me for that!

I admit - I've made and eaten ALL of mine... hehehehehehe. BEAUT present, Ponine !!

It was favoured by all ! Better than the store bought ones because they were made by US ourselves ! And they were Soooooo cute - we got a special snowman mold that we couldn't bring ourse;ves to colour no matter what !

NOt to brag, but....

I had a WHOLE box of Mens Pocky.

Today.

In the cinema.

Watching Lemony Snicket.

I also had a choc-top, which is a scoop of vanilla icecream in a crispy wafer cone, with all visible icecream dipped into melted chocolate.

I also had Popcorn.

I had a diet coke too - gotta watch that sugar intake

The whole lot (including movie ticket) cost me $14.00 AU which is US$10.76

Snaps for value !

That's OK. I had some on Sunday, only I shared. And there's still a little bit left. I actually had two on the way out the door this morning.

My favorite European chocolate experience: I was in Barcelona, walking around with Tramspotter one late night (early morning) and we decided we wanted to try their churros con chocolate.... Wowwwwweeee! Castillian chocolate is really fantastically thick, kind of like that thing they're trying to do at Starbucks. But I'm going to say there's probably nothing like doing it in Spain.

My favorite candy aesthetically speaking:



Ribbon Candy...

I wish I could find a better picture... one with candy with a few different colors in it.

The sick sick thing I really like:



I know.. they're sick... But they're so good, and better than collagen injections!!!
