Amina Sopwith Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Ok, feeling a bit more human today. A bit. For Halloween, my son and I will be making cake pops. Cut out a circle of rolled, white fondant icing (pint glass works well as a cutter), drape it over a pop, add two chocolate chip eyes and you have a ghost. Also use orange icing to make pumpkins and black icing, with liquorice stick legs, for spiders. You can also turn them into little Christmas puddings, snowman and reindeer heads and tree baubles for Christmas.

My grandmother used to use marzipan in baking, and she would be give me chunks of it as a special treat, so I actually learned to prefer it without chocolate. But on the rare occasions that I treat myself to it (usually around Christmas), Ritter's is good, despite the chocolate. At some delis, though, you can get these sort of half-logs of marzipan with a very thin chocolate coating. THAT is the best. That sounds sooo good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Bliss Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'm not sure 'candy' and 'nutrition' should be side-by-side....but yayy junk food My fav is probably Kit Kats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethelwine Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Shouldn't it be Vampire Teeth for Halloween? or worms Ohh and why... well showing off your candy dentures just doesn't grow old.

In fact,I sometimes bite off like the green or orange and will stick two red pieces together and then will have a bunch of reds left over to enjoy,rather than being left with the worst ones.which really,there are no worst ones when it comes to Gummie worms..hehehe When a candy is a good candy,there is always a procedure to eating them.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 My procedure for eating malted milk Whopper candy is to to first bite a piece in half. If it's crunchy I eat it all but if it is a hollow ball with a gooey center I toss it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut butter cookies are my absolute favorite, my grammy (great grandma) taught me how to make them when I was a toddler by singing the words "cuppa, cuppa....EGG"-then she pretended to crack an egg on my head. I got to crack the egg in, I always got to crack the eggs when we made stuff, it was the least messy step and I could do it while sitting on a counter, lol. we had another name for these, Chocolate TlT cookies Edited October 12, 2019 by kali Wylder 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixie Kobichenko Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 In days past when I didn't care about the effect it was going to have on my body down the line? Would definitely be a big mix of Reese's peanut butter cups starbursts & three musketeers. But now I'm having to watch my blood sugar, carbs and calories. I actually only started testing my blood sugar for the first time on Wednesday and now do it 4 times a day. It's already become an obsessive game to me to figure out what I can do and eat in order to avoid huge spikes in numbers. But the candy that I found this past week knowing this was coming up was Russell Stover sugar-free truffles. a serving size on the nutrition panel is 3 but I have decided that I will just have one when I do have one which would be at most one a day. They don't taste like something that's reduced calories I really like them. ps happy Halloween! 🍭🍬🍫🎃💀👽👻🤖👻☠️🤡 pps no clue what I did to this last little bit of text to make it highlighted or whatever it is I did. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeny Howlett Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) My favorite sweets seasonal or not - is Belgian chocolate Cote d'Or . It has an authentic taste and contains real cocoa instead of palm oil. Edited October 12, 2019 by Jeny Howlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzevir Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 When I'm in the UK I try to get some of Tunnock's tea cakes. I try to source some candy corn to my little girl but it's not that easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They serve these with the coffee at my local hipster watering hole. They put it all on a wooden board with a mini bottle of milk and the hot drink itself in a shaped glass.

I even do it with the shaped ones, I eat it in layers. Then again most people I know (minus my own family) hate candy corn too, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where the recipe comes from but its crushed milk arrowroot biscuits mixed up with choccy slop. I think its cheap to make because we were terribly poor and mum would make it for fun special occassions. (never tried to make it yet myself).

That sounds like a good alternative to rocky road, which is what I thought that was at first. I can rarely eat rocky road because marshmallows are almost never veggie-friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norajulian Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 When I was a kid, I was a sucker for Nerds ropes. There’s just something satisfying about a crunchy later wrapped around a gummy layer. Nowadays I train so much at the gym that I eat healthy to match so that I’m not wasting my efforts. I’ll just take an Apple, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess if you include eating some salted peanuts with the corn (soooo good). Halloween is candy corn, Easter is jelly beans, Christmas is cookies (decorated spritz)...
