Candy tastes better than bitterness feels

DamePiglet

Those Butterfinger PB cups are legit.

Here is my ultimate kryptonite. If I can limit myself to 1 serving in a day, I consider it a major win.



I've been pretty good about limiting serving portions of my "problematic" favorites since I started losing weight except for Vanilla Tootsies. Once I have some, I just can't stop myself from say "ok, one more serving". Many times.

I'm only quoting this for the img....I thought it said "candy whorehouse" :laugh: Not really a tootsie toll fan.

:laugh:
Would have been an AWESOME title for this thread!!!

This is making me want to eat all the chocolate in the world! Good thing it's my birthday this weekend and I am baking lots of pies and cakes.

My favorite is

actually, my all-time favorite candy is this:


I won a case of them once. HEAVEN!

Yeah, I know, I'm a cheap candy eatin' floozy. And I'm old. But I surely ain't bitter!

I can't find a picture, but good old-fashioned red twists are my favorite. Not Twizzlers, not Red Vines (although those will do in a pinch), I'm talking about the kind that you find at the roadside stand in the summer.

There is a brand that they carry at Tractor Supply Company called Home Town Candies. On the way back from a soccer trip with my son, we stopped by there because I had a craving.

I'm definitely more of a bitter girl - Theakston's Old Perculier for the win!

But I do want sweeties, it's either good quality dark chocolate (>70% minimum) or these:



Definitely *my* kryptonite.

While many of these options are wonderful ways to spend calories, high quality dark chocolate both tastes good and satisfies, so you don't end up going back for more and more...I call out "Theo" in the night.

It's your fault I came to this thread, now I want these:



I absolutely LOVE dark chocolate! I usually go for the Hershey's Special Dark just because it is cheaper, and since I eat it almost every day, cheaper is better.

If you've never had drunken gummy bears, well... :bigsmile:

I tried that. It was a failed experiment. Gummies never swole.

You HAVE to use Haribo and it works better with worms. I think they are pretty nasty though. The only gummies I'll eat are the ones I get from my local MMJ dispensary.

and these. Godiva Open Oysters. *drool*

Oh my drool Love these!!! I think I need to stop in and use my one free piece!

Oh YES!!! I forgot about Mallo cups. Stores stopped selling them in my area years ago. I have no idea why. There used to be only 2 places to get them. One went out of business and I stopped by the other last week and they'd stopped selling them too!

Anywho, because they are so hard to find, I have a strict policy that I must buy one any time I find them. Just one, no stock piling. It makes it really special when I find one.

You should probably post a "MFP Friend is SABOTAGING me" thread.

I definitely call sabotage, and will add to said sabotage with:



Somehow, every time I purchase these, the whole bag disappears in less than a day. No idea where they go...so odd....

I've never had these. Now I want to try them.

I like the vanilla tootsie rolls also.

I buy the 80% cacao bars and make my own candy; like peanut butter cups or melted chocolate with nuts and fruits.

I have the same "must buy mallo cup" policy.
The ONLY place (besides the net) that I can find them now is at either Michael's or Hobby Lobby (a craft store... Can't remember which one)

I do love me some candy! This thread makes me happy!
