Even more important than religion: Candy!

[Ephemerid]

Its not more important then religion.

Speak for yourself.  Not everyone feels the need to follow organized religion.

And besides, I ain't Jewish!  

Toblerone, especially DARK chocolate.  

My girlfriend sends me Cadbury flakes & crunchie bars (I've seen them in some places in bigger cities, but they aren't easy to come by where I live).

Lindt is good too.  

I have always found Hersheys way too waxy. Blech!

[Ephemerid]

I don;t like any of the candies around
if you don't count the one and only:



I haven't had any for the last couple of years though, it was an addiction -almost- as cruel as tobacco 

OHHHH yeah.  I just finished off a jar last week.  I put it on bagels for brekkie!

I don;t think anyone in the history of human civilization has been able to just take one spoon and put it away

Same with the licorice for me. I can't eat alot of dark chocolate, maybe 4 squares. It makes it so undesirable that i can't finish the bar, that I go for the milk chocolate with caramel or almonds. Not that I dislike the taste of dark chocolate, just its hard to have alot.

Yes, I generally eat dark chocolate in moderation.  I cannot stand black licorice! 

....... many types of dark chocolate are VERY healthy, even given the fat content (esp. raw, organic cocoa).

Absolutely (except I don't eat raw cocoa beans because of their alleged hallucinatory effect). In fact, the health benefits used to be my excuse for eating dark chocolate, and it has a significantly lower sugar content than milk chocolate.  But for someone who has high cholesterol, the saturated fat becomes an issue.

Mexican candy? Never been there.

Mexico has some good candies. I mean they dont look so interesting (its a dark marronish brownish stick with white powder on it) but its really good.





They call this one pelon which means baldy When you squeeze it done the candy comes out through tiny holes, and its sorta like hair.

There are other great candies that I can't remember the name, but 1 is a mango lollipop covered in chile At first your like ewwww chile I have to sit through this? But once you break through to the mango it just becomes like a super joy, and you come to appreciate why they put the chile there to begin with.

Similar but these are watermelon.

Ahh Here they are!


this website is great.

Everyone knows these gums




Mexico has good stuff

How dare you! Your supposed to put cream cheese on bagels. You degenerate libertine!

With Nutella, all things are possible.

Mexico has good stuff

When I lived in San Diego I remember repeated warnings that some candy made in Mexico contains significant amounts of lead, which is has a very sweet taste but which causes brain and central nervous system damage.

Skittles. I can (and have on many occasions) eaten an entire bag in one sitting. I really liked these when they were out:



It's sad that some candy goes OOP.

You can't go wrong with a chewy bag of Skittles.

[Bogey]

Anything where the use of chocolate and almonds are used in tandem.

Which explains your screen-name!

I like Candies. This one I like the most.

[hornteacher]

I perfer a scoop of rich french vanilla ice cream and a mug of hot tea.

Cadbury's Caramilk does it for me.

[Mozart]

Cadbury's Caramilk does it for me.

Word and 1 piece lasts like 30 mins. I should buy more caramels.

[Lethevich]

If I could I'd eat it all the time, but I'm too concerned about keeping my teeth intact when I'm 40-50

If it teeth or weight wasn't a concern, I would LIVE on Cadbury's dairy milk choclate, toblerone, Lindt truffle-thingies.........

Edit: I also miss pure sugar loaded stuff from when I was younger. When I was 11, this was my idea of heaven:

Oh, shame on me!  -- I forgot one of my very favourite chocolates: Guylian! 

If you love chocolate, you MUST try these:



YUMMMMM!!! - its a mixture of white, dark & milk chocolate.  I think there's a hint of hazelnut in it as well...  Smmmooooooth!  (damn, I want one now!!)
