Have we met yet? Cause I dont think you and I can be near each other with candy we dont want to share.
I also liked the Take Five bar, and swedish Fish are an all time fave.

Now that said, I worked in an independant chocolate company in Colorado for six years. We made our own chocoate items, truffles, toffee, caramel apples, fudge...
but all of our gummy and hard candy we brought in.. I could sit here for an hour typing the things I liked.
But the swedish fish, peeps, sweet tarts, cherry sours, choc covered gummi bears, and choc pretzels; were all in place long before I ever got that job.

I may go to Cost PLus today and look for the rabbits.

I used to buy the big vats of red vines for my office. Then, I would eat about 30 of them on a daily basis. I bought them because they are relatively fat free (just all sugar- like there's a difference), but eating the quantities I did, I could've just stuck with chocolate. Yum......Red Vines.

Yes, yes, yes! I am a huge licorice fan. Black or red, it doesn't matter. But just don't try to get me to eat those dreadful Twizzlers. They may look like licorice, but they're not....

I used to really enjoy buying the bag of the long red licorice vines at DLR. You know the vines that were a couple feet long? Then they switched to regular size, which was okay. Now, DLR is selling those licorice bits instead. It's just not the same, I tells ya. Which is a good thing anyways, because eating a whole bag of candy is not so good for your waistline or your health.

Aww! I love Twizzlers! And the best part of a Twizzler is that after sucking on one for awhile, they slightly stain your lips a really sexy cherry red. If only they made a lipgloss called "Twizzler"..

Having just shared my confection confession, I will admit I love way too many candies to post! My favorites are what my Mom calls really "junky cheap candy". The Wonka stuff!

I love....

*Everlasting Gobstoppers (I'm a jawbreaker freak!)
* Bottlecaps
* Jellybellies (I love the black ones! )
*Red Licorice Whips
*Candy Corn
*Conversation hearts
*Candy Necklaces ( I love to nibble on those while I'm actually wearing it! )
*Candy Dots! The ones that kinda look like this --> on white paper sheets. (Okay, I just really wanted to use that emoticon! )
*Cherry Sours
*Sour Sugared Cherries, Watermelon Slices & Green Apples
*Gummi Bears!

Easter is coming so that means Cadbury Eggs. I know, I know, but they are so yummy!! Just the regular ones. I tried the others and they're not as good.

Betty · 01-23-2005, 03:17 PM

They still make Astropops but now they are upside down on the stick to they don't become weapons!

I'm a big fan of Hot Tamales. Love them while watching a movie. Sweet cinnamon goodness.

Chocolate covered almond "clumps" - I forget what their proper name is - are so yummy too. Dark chocolate I should say. Those are much better.

I also like a snickers bar that's been cut into pieces - down the middle and then cross ways into square chunks - then chill for a bit if they are too soft. Nice and chewy little bite size chunks.

Oh - and how could I forget - Almond Joy. Love coconut and chocolate. I just wish they make a dark chocolate one with almonds.

YUCK -- Stephen loves those.. I just get grossed out. I only really like the caramel ones...

Grumpy4 · 01-23-2005, 04:23 PM

Yeah, well I get grossed out about Peeps so...
I don't get them all the time. There's only so much I can handle with those. They can make you feel a little ill. But they have the little bite size ones now, so that can help the craving!
