Confessions Of A Candy Addict

I may have told you a couple of years ago that my favorite candy is gumballs. I don't even have to eat them...I just like looking at them and opening up the top of the jar and smelling them. Yes, I realize this is two stops short of a fetish and I'm ok with that. lol 

I always seem to have some sort of candy on hand to snack on every once in a while.When my daughter was younger I would get candy and have it in the candy dishes for her and her friends...*but I really had it in the house for me* That's right, I bought a tub full of Laffy Taffy...145 pieces of it! Hubby is helping me eat it..lol 

My daughter and husband knew how  much I wanted cute candy dishes so they bought me these two really cute candy jars that I have on my shelf. Of course they are filled with candy. One with gumballs and the other with Laffy Taffy. 

Now this is a real shame...an empty candy jar. It's sitting on another shelf just waiting for me to find the right candy to fill it with. I'm thinking something colorful for easter like Easter M&M's. You can't tell but this is a gallon size candy jar..it will hold a heck of a lot of M&M's. 

The last candy I bought and filled this with was a 5lb bag of Sunkist Fruit chews. That lasted me about 4 months..it would have lasted longer but I gave a good chunk of it to my daughter and her boyfriend and I had the candy dish on the coffee table filled and when company came over they ate some..which is fine, that's why I got the big bag. 

So are you a candy addict too?

What's your favorite candy?

  1. I don't eat a lot of candy, and don't have a particular favorite. My father though is another story. He's very territorial when it comes to his lolly jar.

  4. You would be in heaven at my house right now. Since we're not in the states for Easter my mom and my mil sent huge boxes stuffed with candy. I'll probably be giving out Easter candy for Halloween at this rate. Lol

  6. Oh funny. I snorted at your two steps short of a fetish. Love that. I'm a total chocoholic. If I'm going for candy I go for that instead of hard candies. My favorites...hmm...peanut butter cups. I could eat the whole bag. I've been going for butterfingers this past couple weeks though for some reason.
