I love how you eat candy like an old man. Get you some Mike & Ike’s and a Zagnut and you are golden.

Just kidding - other than Mike & Ike, any candy you decide to buy generally is one of those messes of an adventure for candy companies. “Mint Goody Bar? Surely this is gonna work out.” Companies just need to ride the horse they came in on.

A few of My go-tos, depending on mood:
- Twix
- big Tootsie Rolls (not the little parade-sized ones)
- Reese’s Pieces
- Nerds (the gummy clusters are amazing)
- Red Vines
I put variety at the top of my list, in most aspects. Life is too short to have "favorites" of pretty much anything. A person could be born, live, and die, and never know what a Maple Nut Goodie tastes like.

...for the record, they aren't very good, but at least I won't have that question to worry about while I lay on my deathbed.

Do you have an ashtray full of butterscotch candies in your house?

Sour Patch Kids

I had hyper emesis with our youngest child, was hospitalized due to vomiting. One of the only things I could actually eat without barfing was Sour Patch Kids. I ate so many of them.

We recently discovered Trader Joe's Sour Scandinavian Swimmers. If you like Sour Patch Kids, they're worth trying

YOU recently discovered them - I have loved them for years! They are even better than SPK.

I don’t eat a lot of candy but freeze dried sour skittles are amazing. Peanut M&Ms and Junior Mints are my go to movie candy.

The freeze dried Sour Skittles are amazing! Everyone else in my family hates them, other than my son.

Fruity gummy anything is a go-to. Notably Gummy Lifesavers.

In the general 'Well I'll just have a couple...hundred' column so I do my best leave them alone:
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or mini cups or holiday-shaped or anything they make with peanut butter inside the chocolate.

White Chocolate or Hershey's 'Hugs'.

I never buy candy because I have no self control if I know it's available, but I am a huge Peanut Butter anything guy...

Peanut Butter M&Ms > Reese's Pieces, but I can and will destroy either one when near them
Reese's Peanut Butter in any of it various forms is always a huge kryptonite things for me also.

Snickers Peanut Butter and Twix Peanut Butter both make my honorable mentions list also.
