All I can say is ‘It’s not my fault!’ I have a serious sweet tooth that was no doubt passed down through the generations, given to my mom by my grandma and then finally ending up with me. I have learned many things from my mother but none so important as how to eat a balanced breakfast of vanilla coconut frosting off last night’s cake. I still don’t understand why she wouldn’t want the cake with the frosting but that’s how she worked. In my family, we never skimp on the dessert – case in point the fifty-dollar Godiva chocolate cheesecake – so rich I seriously can’t eat more than one bite. Although my mother loved her cakes and frostings my vice is CANDY. Mostly sugar, sour gummy candies. My favorite thing to do while I am shopping is stop at a Sweet Factory or anything like it and get a “goodie bag” (who says they are just for 5-year-olds). I keep it in my purse for a couple days and just snack here and there. I’m telling you there is nothing more heavenly than candy, so go ahead and try some of my favorites.Harry & David has tons of gift packages and amazing popcorn (Moose Munch) I love sending these as gifts and it’s even better receiving them.
Haribo candies are divine; I love the fruit salad and peaches!
Sweet Factory, you have to check out this wonderland of a store and get your own “goodie bag.”
