This Week's Prompt: Do you have a sweet tooth? List your top five favorite candies!
I have not had a zero bar in 20 years, but I can remember the very last time I had one! It was at summer camp, in Desoto Missouri, and I selected it from the canteen cabin. There is something about the way the candy bar tasted, that just reminds me of summer, and summer camp! For one week out of the year, I could eat one every day at snack time, and I did not have to feel guilty about it!
As a teenager, I always had Jelly Belly Beans at home to snack on. I loved combining the flavors to see if I could create a peanut butter sandwich or lemon meringue pie. I would look forward to the seasonal or holiday flavors that only came out at special times of the year. I wanted the special "gum ball machine," dispenser, but could never find one other than the ones I saw at the stores. The Jelly Belly Beans, just reminds me of my youth, and indulging in their sweetness.
When I was in grade school, there was a girls who's church was always having some kind of fund raiser, and nearly every day I would find her at lunch time, and buy a 100 Grand bar from her. I loved the crunch, caramel, and chocolaty goodness in each bite. This past Halloween I secretly ate all of these candy bars from my kids haul...they never noticed!
Any time I go to the movies, and buy theater candy I buy raisinets! I love them, and can easily polish off a box, if I don't pace myself! Some where in the back of my mind I tell myself that raisins are healthy, right? (Darn, they just happen to be covered in chocolate...oops.)
For as long as I can remember, Rolos have been available in the super market isle, and I can remember my mother buying them for me. I would eat them very slowly, and make the little package last a few days by only eating one or two! I would open the gold foil as if it was real gold leaf, and find other uses for it once, I had eaten all of the caramel candy. Funny how candy brings back so many fond memories!
What is your favorite candy? If you could eat candy at any time and not feel guilty for eating it, what would you buy? Does candy remind you of your youth?
