I just made a trip to Powell's Sweet Shop (neener neener maillotpois!)

Let's see.....

Pink Canada Mints
Choco Kitty Peeps
Necco Wafers - Regular and Chocolate
Nestle Smarties (similar to M&Ms)
A Grow your own skeleton

and because I saw them on Unwrapped a couple nights ago, Valomilk cups. Think Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, only instead of peanut butter, it is filled with runny marshmallow. :eek:

I ate the valomilk, but the majority of the other stuff is getting sent off to a friend....providing it survives the night.:rolleyes:

no no no Trekhawk, peeps AREN'T marshmallows. They are something ELSE.
They even have protein in them! yes! it's true. That's why they are not water soluable..

you guys made me hungry too. I made some Castanaccio out of chestnut flour (That I bought in Italy) wheat flower, eggs, a little olive oil and milk.. then I stuck raisins and chopped nuts and a little sugar on the top. it's sort of like a cake and it's not really sweet... it's pretty good though...

okay, back to sugar...

REESE'S RULE-- I love peanut butter in almost any form - except Jelly Bellies-

and to JuJu- until a week ago I only liked the original Hershey Kisses- I wish they would stop meddlin'- but then- a friend ( a true friend brings chocolate)
brought me a bag of Truffle kisses- some of Milton Hershey's finest work-:)

How did I miss this thread?

Candy corn: used to eat some every now and then, but now I won't go near them because 5 years ago I discovered mellowcreme pumpkins, mmmmmm (see below). I find these to be far superior due to their shape and texture, despite tasting nearly identical to candy corn. My rule is no more than 4 a day. The bag must be kept in the pantry, not on the counter, to prevent passing-by-munching.

Peep: love 'em. Around easter I cannot get enough. I was happy to discover that Michael's craft store typically carries peeps for the more obscure holidays, such as Valentine's day and 4th of July. I have had the ghosts and pumpkins, but not the cats. Must track down the cats.

Circus peanuts, interesting, I don't care for these much. But I LOOOOVE lucky charms. I try to eat "adult" cereal most of the time, but every now and then I let myself get a box of lucky charms. If DH is caught eating them he gets the silent treatment for the day.

Gosh, what did I do when I started this thread...I was just wondering peoples opinions. Yes, the pumpkins are great but, what about the HARVEST MIX that has the pumpkins, maple syrup jug, hay stack and I think a bat. Each is a different flavor. I am not a fan of the hay stack, but the maple syrup one is great..

You MUST try combining one part candy corn, one part salted peanuts....wonderful! I used this trick to power me thru a 24 hour race last fall. I'm sure the dieticians would scoff, but my body thrived!

PEEPS! They are far superior to candy corn. :p I sort of want some now. :D Candy Corn is icky. Those pumpkin things sound interesting. :p But...chocolate is the way to go. :D I just bought some dark chocolate from New Seasons, with blueberries in it. It was $4. :O It's really yummy! :D

And this talk of letting the Peeps get stale! I've never heard of that, and it sounds really gross. :p It's also gross that some of them DON'T get stale. :p I'm not sure if I want Peeps anymore or not now. :p
