Foo - Candy poll?

Which is best? Halloween candy, Christmas Candy, Valentines Day Candy, or Easter candy?

Each has it's own benefits, beside rotting your teeth.

Did someone say peeps? Love the peeps!

I like to let them dry out and become Peep Jerky.

That sounds good too, but I think they'd look like road kill that way...no?

Easter: cadbury cream eggs. Mmmmmmmm...

cannot break the candy corn v. peeps tie


if either came in a cinnamon flavor that would put it over the top for me.

I thought this was gonna be another thread about strippers. Speaking of which, where crackerjab been?


Oh and Christmas since most of it's homemade 'round here anyhow.

Chocolate is over rated. Jellybeans FTW!

Chocolate is over rated. Jellybeans FTW!

ouch! not a jelly bean fan but took the jelly belly factory tour (ne corner of san francisco bay area) about
3 years ago. it was...sweet! pretty cool & if you love jelly beans, a must do. way cooler than the hershey
tour.

gotta go with the easter stuff. btw, when did hollow chocolate easter bunnies become all the rage?! as a kid,
i gnawed on many a solid milk chocolate easter bunny. i'll take the reese's peanut butter eggs...

Dark chocolate M&Ms come in coordinating colors for all of the holidays listed on the poll.

Easter: cadbury cream eggs. Mmmmmmmm...


how do you eat yours?

i lick out the filling then eat the outer chocolate. very uncivilised.

Len Libbys Dark Chocolate covered cashews. (wonderful)

Swiss Choc out of a Swiss market (fresh)

Belgium chocolate milk

my hot chocolate ( a coworker once described it as better than sex)

Choc shake at Moody's Diner in Waldoboro, Me.

Death by Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce sundae
1)Melt 4oz baking chocolate and a stick of butter
2) Put your choice brownie mix into a bowl and stir in melted choc/butter (add a little water and stir)
3) cook ( do NOT overcook!!! Take the recommended time and reduce the temp to 300 or 325... should be at least a little gooey)
4) right out of the oven put in a bowl.
5) Top with Edy's French Silk ice cream (or some other coffee ice cream)
6) garnish ( I make the little joke) with the hot fudge sauce.

Hey! You didn't list stranger's candy. No seriously Easter rocks with the candy. Once you bite that ole' bunny's ears off, you can't stop.

Halloween.

Christmas, the candy is good, but you are limited to one stocking full

Easter: You have to fight for the eggs and go to church.

Valentines Day: What the hell are those hearts made of anyway? My guess is cupid feces. Oh, and cupids are known to eat chalk.

Halloween: This is candy win. You chose the size of the sack and the supply is only limited by your own speed, strength and stamina. If you find a good vein, like the rich guy two blocks over giving out full sized Butterfingers, you can keep going back until the vein runs dry. Kids will share proprietary info with you about who is giving out what. Heck you can even trade candy you don't like with other kids.

Same stuff as these: http://bookshelvesofdoom.blogs.com/.m/.a/6a00d8345169e469e20120a59d10e4970b-320wi

I'm in Ohio. No matter the hoiday someone will make buckeyes.

I must clarify, chocolate is over rated. Unless it is used in it's proper application of covering peanut butter.

As much as I like jelly beans, I freakin' love me some Reese's.

Oh shucks! That was funny.

Halloween because there is more to chose from which means more on sale come November 1.

Re mining a good vein, 2 blocks over and 2 blocks down from our house is the locus of halloween in the whole ... world as far as I can tell. Can almost never get to the door, but their next-door neighbors get 1000 items to give away, and out to the end of their block (towards us) they're down to 500 items. For us way out on the periphery it's just 1-200 to get us through the night.

I like to bite the heads off the chocolate Easter bunnies.

I eat the ears, arms, and legs first off the Easter Bunny so he can watch. The I eat the eyes. I've done this since I was a kid. It makes me happy.

Peeps. I don't know why I eat them. I like the first 100, the last 900 though seem harder to eat.

See's Bordeaux Cream Eggs....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm heaven!!!!!

I also like the Whopper's Malted Milk Eggs... neither of which I should think of eating now!:(

Also Halloween - must go get candy - it takes work...

Easter... the bunny brings it to me... much better!

Yea, You wake up and it's there.

how do you eat yours?

i lick out the filling then eat the outer chocolate. very uncivilised.

I bite them in half lengthwise, eat one half whole and the other half like you do.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH those too. YES YES YES YES.

Hmmm, I still have a gift certificate for 1lbs of See's. I'm gonna get some cream eggs!

See's Gift Certificate - like buying gold! I have a few old ones left over - the value has increased triple fold in a few years!!!!!!

But that reminds me - may have to use one to get me some Bordeaux eggs!

i love see's candy. that is the only thing i ask for if someone i know is visiting from the west coast. soft centres preferably but i won't complain if it is hard.

mmm

Cadbury = Kraft now.

what does Kraft make in the candy department.

Cadbury = Kraft now.

Oh right, snap. I wonder if they'll start bumping up the paraffin in those eggs.

I think Halloween provides the biggest variety.

I'll admit I have a special fondness for Peanut M&Ms

The worst thing See's ever did is build a commercial website - now visitors unnecessary - you can order direct! If I do come visit, I'll be sure to bring a lb of soft centers - if the box survives the trip - those are my favorites as well. For me it's easier to list the See's I don't like then do!
