This is a candy I remember my Grandmother Nima having at her house when I was a kid. I bought some today to see if I still like them. They are pure sugar. I like them.
Pirate’s Booty
This may sound like quite a strange snack, but it is very tasty. I first tried in New York in March. It is hard to describe so you will just have to try it. We found it in our local Target store in the food section. I am not sure if all Target’s carry the [...]
Apple Chips
I have been substituting dried fruit for candy in my diet lately. Today Erin bought me some Granny Smith Apple Chips. I would not recommend them. They are coated in some type of strange crusty sugar coating, which seems to defeat the purpose of eating something more healthy than candy.
Shriveled Fruit
As an alternative to eating candy I have taken up eating dried fruit in the past week. I started with my 3 favorites: Dried Bananas, Dried Apricots, and Dried Apples. I am used to consuming large amounts of candy each week, and the dried fruit will be much healthier for me. This is not to [...]
Easter Confections
It’s that time of year when I indulge in various Easter candies. I love them. Though I enjoy jelly beans, Cadbury Eggs, and other easter candies, I have not bought any this year yet. I guess I will make a trip to the store tomorrow to pick some up. I presume many [...]
Now & Later
I used to purchase Now & Later when I was a kid becuase for economic reasons. They were only 10 cents for a small pack. The Banana flavor was always my favorite, but I like them all. I purchased some this weekend from Wal-Green’s. They were not as good as I [...]
Ok & Abundant
It’s not my favorite candy in the world, and I would never buy them for myself. When given to me I will eat them. My dog Max likes them and I share them with him sometimes. The candy is made of black licorice and a hard candy shell. I like the texture, [...]
Holiday Candy
One of my favorite Christmas candies is chocolate covered peanut butter balls, sometimes called “buck-eyes.” Each year, I try to make a batch or find someone in my family who has. Tonight I made a huge batch of these delicious candies. They are currently chilling in the fridge, but I plan to [...]
Minty goodness
All I can say is that this bar is delicious. My only complaint is that it is too small.
Starburst Fruit Chews
This weekend I purchased a movie-style box of Starburst. I must say that the pink strawberry is my favorite flavor, but I do enjoy them all. The movie-style box does not seem to be a very good value because I feel as though there were not that many more Starburst than is in a regular [...]
