Candy – love it. I always have some around.

Holiday candy – you can always rely on these nicely bagged, foil covered tasty pieces of sweetness. I always get a few bags of this holiday stuff becasue you know these bags have not been sitting on the store shelf for a long period of time. Just made and shipped to a retailer for you.

Tightly wrapped foils in colors; pinks, red, greens, yellows, purples, blues…. depending on the holiday season, depends on the style, holiday shape and flavor of the candy.

Yellow Flavored Peeps

Peep-a-liscious

Today it was an adventure. Walgreens. Sale on candy… four bags of mix and match chocolates and other funky jelly-ized, sugar covered, squishy, sweet, sour, mixed and more. Four for ten dollars.

Not only did I discover the new Dove eggs, but there were Nestle crunchy foiled eggs filled with peanut butter center, needless to say I think it was lunch for me (bad, yeah I know). Then there was the entire row of “peeps” dedicated to an entire shelf . Nicely lined boxes of peeps, all at attention, ready to march or perhaps they were lined up there protesting for better, higher shelf space… couldn’t quite tell.
(In case you aren’t sure what peeps are… ….Peeps are marshmallow preserved, bunny and chick shaped what-every-a-call-its that seem to have an endless shelf life). Sorry kids, I love candy, but can’t seem to get into the “peep” whirlwind and cult addiction of it all.

Finally there were the Cadbury eggs with the weird egg colored gooey centers. (Apparently these are a gluten free food for all you intestinally challenged peeps out there). Too funny.

The downside of this is that this round of this sugar infused adventure, this is it for holiday candy for a while. At least until any sort of back to school special or Halloween. Stock up now I say…. at least get a carton of “peep’s if in the event you need a massive sugar rush or to experience a sugar coma and can’t wait until October!

Candy Rock On!
