Peeps vs Candy Corn

[HappyAnika]

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.

I had no desire for any of these candies until this thread

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..

smartie!

Yes I am. Especially when I'm much too far away to be kicked in my smart little arse for whatever may have most certainly earned it.

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!

Yes, this is a wonderful combo and does me in once a year

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

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

My teeth ache just thinking of of these.

I prefer to think of them as gourmet Peeps.
