Candy Out

Oh crap, the daily prompt is asking – What’s your favorite candy?

I’ve put on a few more pounds than I’d like to carry from eating too many sweets of late. Well, being it’s the season of hearts, my favorite candy is the Brach’s Valentines Conversation Hearts. Also, the Smarties Valentines bags have been good.

Sweets are the one thing I struggle with. Most other foods aren’t an issue. I was doing well for a few years, and I have to get back into the mindset of moderation.

The only thing sweeter than candy is life when it’s going right.

Sweet tooth

What’s your favorite candy? asks the daily writing prompt.

Short answer – Brachs Marshmellow Easter Eggs. I don’t think they make them anymore.

But it does varies by season. Like now its those little conversation hearts you see during Valentines. Next month I’ll be eating jelly beans and chocolate malt balls.

Summertime some Smarties appear for my birthday and the occasional box of Nerds during the summer to sprinkle on my snowballs every once in a while. Starburst or skittles are a nice summer candy. And I can’t forget the occasional pack of Sweet Tarts.

In the fall we have a M&M season along with other assorted chocolates. Of course the scary Reeses Cups for Halloween.

The winter we move onto caramels and cherry candy canes. Maybe some Cherry Hershey Kisses. Or Krackle bars are good also. And I almost forgot Butterfingers.

The Vigil night with the boys is the bite size Snickers bars to end the evening just before we part company each week.

Something for everyone. Photo by Mike Hartley
