It's kind of scary. I'm a grown damn man. Needless to say I'm pretty happy right now everyone is just giving it away everywhere I go. I'm still doing slow carb so I have to hoard it all til cheat day. I had like four pounds by Fri. this last week. I had to give a lot of it away cause I sure couldn't finish it all.

This will be my first candy-free Halloween.

ZephyrusX · 10-27-2011, 04:21 AM

I'm half-British. It is in my family's blood to eat candy.

I thought that was tea.

Didn't realize candy was a British thing.

ZephyrusX · 10-27-2011, 05:11 PM

My grandmother distorts my whole view of the British. If I take everything she says at face value, the British eat/drink nothing but tea, beer, fish and chips, candy, blood pudding and brains.

I love Reese cups with an unholy passion.

Mariana Trench · 10-27-2011, 10:19 PM

I'm an absolute peppermint fiend. I down a box of Altoids in ten minutes: once you start, you just can't stop.

I really love these too. I have a recipe for home made ones somewhere...gotta dig that up.

Mariana Trench · 10-27-2011, 10:27 PM

And these little monstrosities at Christmas:

Dear Lord.

I make buckeyes at Christmas sometimes, they're very similar...

ZephyrusX · 10-27-2011, 10:40 PM

I like peppermint as well, though I'll eat the peppermint patties. I'm a chocolate fiend too.... I have a craving for candy now.

I really love mint patties too. So soft and chewy and fresh...mmm.

Not sure about boiled lollies though, and I detest liquorice all sorts.

I'm pretty much a sucker for anything that isn't cherry flavored. Everything cherry just tastes like cough drops to me. I've got a good a little collection going again for this week. Some M&M's, an Almond Joy, some Tootsie Rolls, Skittles, and assorted chocolate.

I had cacao nibs covered in dark choc...but they're gone now.

I love mint patties. I had a ritual where my snack during standardized tests would always be mint patties, walnuts or almonds, coffee, and a V8. I'd save the mint patty for last because candy was a special occasion thing around our house, and it always anchored a pleasant experience to a hard, 6am Saturday.

Ooo, I love cacao nibs. I once dipped them in honey comb and wrapped them in mint leaves. Delish.

That does sound pretty sweet and delish. I have some honeycomb right now...just gotta find some mint leaves...and buy some cacao beans.

I remember when I first moved to Edmonton, something as small as a latte (that tastes nothing like coffee - yes, I'm a Starbucks junkie

) seemed really special. I grew up in a small enough suburb that didn't really have anything like that. Now that I have continual access to all the 'coffee' I want though, it no longer seems all that special...

I just feel totally deprived if I don't have it.

Do I ever know how that goes.

And I'll probably be seeing it even bigger time soon, as I'm moving to an actual city for the first time in my life in a short while.

ZephyrusX · 10-28-2011, 01:29 AM

Congrats! That sounds very exciting.
