top ten candies

it is thursday again and that means top ten time. since halloween just passed, i thought my top ten list this week should reflect the main reason why i love trick or treating. the candy, of course! i know it is actually the kids' candy, but they couldnt possibly eat all of it by themselves. we have to help them out. :)

TOP TEN CANDIES TO GET WHILE TRICK OR TREATING

(in no particular order)

1. 3 MUSKETEERS-THIS IS PERHAPS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CANDIES OF ALL TIME. THE SOFTNESS OF THE NOUGAT...AHHHH. PURE HEAVEN.

2. M&M'S-SUCH A CLASSIC CANDY. WHO DOESNT LOVE THESE DELECTABLE LITTLE TREATS. NOW THEY MUST BE PLAIN, NO PEANUTS! I KNOW I AM WEIRD, I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER, BUT ITS A NO, NO ON THE NUTS. ITS A TEXTURE THING.

3. HERSHEY'S MINIATURES SPECIAL DARK CHOCOLATE-YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T RESIST THE ASSORTED MINIS! FOR SOME REASON THEY NEVER GIVE EQUAL PORTIONS OF EACH KIND. THE SPECIAL DARK ALWAYS RUNS OUT THE FASTEST. BEST PART IS THAT DARK CHOCOLATE IS SOMEWHAT GOOD FOR YOU. AT LEAST THATS WHAT I KEEP TELLING MYSELF.

4. MELLOWCREME PUMPKINS- I MIGHT BE IN THE MINORITY ON THIS ONE, BUT I LOVE THESE CUTE LITTLE THINGS. I ALWAYS BITE THE GREEN STEM OFF FIRST THEN POP THE REST IN MY MOUTH. SO YUMMY. PUMPKINS ARE PREFERRED OVER CANDY CORN, EVEN THOUGH, THEY ARE PRACTICALLY THE SAME THING.

5. REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS-I REALLY LIKE THESE, BUT THESE ARE JESSE'S ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CANDY OF ALL TIME. THEY ARE SO VERSATILE. THEY CAN BE EATEN ALONE, MIXED IN WITH ICE CREAM, IN A SHAKE, FROZEN...THE BEST WAY TO EAT THEM IS TO STICK THE WHOLE CUP IN YOUR MOUTH IN ONE SWOOP. NO BITES!

6. DOTS-FOR BEING MOSTLY A CHOCOHOLIC, I OCCASSIONALLY LIKE A REAL SUGAR STYLE CANDY. DOTS HITS THAT SPOT EVERY TIME. I LOVE THE WAY THEY STICK TO YOUR TEETH. OH SO DELICIOUS!

7. REESE'S PIECES-MADE FAMOUS BY E.T. :) I LOVE THESE MORE THAN THE CUPS VERSION. YOU CAN JUST POP A COUPLE OR A HUGE HANDFUL IN YOUR MOUTH. THEY ARE PERFECT FOR ON THE GO.

8. SKITTLES-I REALLY HAVE TO BE IN THE MOOD FOR SKITTLES, BUT WHEN I START EATING THEM, I CANT STOP. THEY ARE LIKE POTATO CHIPS. YOU JUST CANT HAVE ONE. THE SWEET AND THE TEENY TASTE OF SOUR. AWESOME. I DONT HAVE A FAVORITE COLOR, I JUST POUR A BUNCH IN AND CHEW.

9. WHOPPERS-I THINK I MIGHT ALSO BE IN THE MINORITY ON THIS ONE. MALT BALLS ARE SO YUMMY. I SUCK ON THEM, UNTIL THE MALTED INTERIOR DISSOLVES AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IS THE CHOCOLATE. ONLY ONE AT A TIME, THOUGH. WHEN EASTER COMES AROUND, THE ROBIN EGGS ARE A MUST HAVE TOO.

10. STARBURST-MY MOUTH WATERS JUST LOOKING AT THIS IMAGE. I PREFER THE ORANGE AND LEMON FLAVORS BEST, BUT I WILL STILL EAT THE OTHERS. I THINK THAT THE CANDY COMPANY RUINED STARBURST WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH TROPICAL FLAVORS, IN MY OPINION. CLASSIC IS THE WAY TO GO.

ok. now wasnt that fun! now go raid your child's halloween candy bucket. there is no shame in it.
