But... admittedly, its not the same as new ones from the store.

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.

I tried a new candy bar by Hersheys the other night called a "Take 5" (I'm sure Dave Brubeck is thrilled). Anyway it is pretzels, caramel, peanuts, and peanut butter, all covered in chocolate. It was actually pretty darn good.

I love chocolate covered gummi bears.

There, I said it. And I'm not ashamed, galdurnit!

I'm a pretty big fan of candy. I do love Maple Candy! Talk about your pure sugar! Little maple candy shaped like maple leaves. Yum. I do love fresh licorice (Australian), but the red kind. And I love Red Vines, but it's the devil's candy

. You just want to eat the whole package in one sitting. You can't stop eating it!! Love Twix-original, Snickers, Violet Crumble(Honeycomb). Gummis are good at times, but it's got to be just regular gummi bears, not the octopus or anything else. Sour fruit salad is tasty. I'm a milk chocolate fan, but I have been known to eat the dark stuff too.

For those that are English Toffee or Almond Roca fans, there's not much better than the big chunk of ET you get from See's.

Oh man, I forgot to name one of our all-time favorite candies, red swedish fish! They are so tasty that you get a mild craving for them, kinda like crack. When Matthew and I first met, we developed an addiction to the damn things and would buy a bag every time we saw a sweet factory. Good times!

I agree about maple candy. I must admit that I break down and buy it online about once a year. My biggest problem is no matter how much I buy I can't stop eating it until it is gone. I have no self control when it comes to that mapely goodness.

I also like Bottle Caps.

Oooo and Sees peppermit ball things are good too!!

Also Russian chocolate bars. There's a kind I used to get that claimed it was milk chocolate (c molokom!) but tasted vaguely coconutty. It was so good.

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

Got to find me a See's tomorrow and use those gift certificates my well-intentioned step-grandparents give me every year for Christmas. Don't EVEN look at me that way, this is SO worth going off the lo-carb wagon for a minute!

Jellie Bellies god I love them things (except the Harry potter ones ugh!)

bottlecaps, nerds, laughy taffy (wonka sure has me hooked LOL)

Red vines that is THE theater candy, bite off each end and use it for a straw in yer drink, then when they get really cold from the ice they get crunchy

speaking of crunchy, a nice frozen charleston chew, properly whacked against the table so it breaks in bits inside the package

And more whacking fun; those choclate oranges you whack to get the slices seperated (but its gotta be dark chocolate)

Gummy worms if they are made by the right company I forget who makes the good ones with two distinct flavors in each worm, but those are the best

Beer nuts you know those candy coated peanut things MMM

I used to love Whitman chocolates but their quality has gone downhill in recent years, they invariably taste stale now whenever I get them, and seems like the ingrediants are not as rich.

I also like those old fashioned candy sticks that you can get for like 20 cents and they come in a variety of flavors rootbeer is probably my fave closely followed by orange pineapple

My childhood cheap favorite I havnt seen in years; cherry clan it was these little sour cherry balls, by I think the same people that make lemonheads

Who remembers Astropops? dear god it was liquid cement on a stick once it went in between yer teeth it was impossible to pry them apart...simular to...

sugar babies (but nowhere near as bad as an astropop) caramelly goodness!

I am a candy freak I could go on and on LOL!!!
