I enjoy eating Rockets. They taste like Sweet Tarts, but they're smaller.

Oh, count me in on the sour candy! I love the chewy Sweettarts, too.

Anything chocolate, as well as Smarties, Pixie Stix, Sweet Tarts, and Nerds. I especially love breaking into the bags of candy to snack on some of it.

Everyone always tells me they hate candy corn. I absolutely love it.

Peanut butter kisses; except they don't sell them around here anymore, for some reason.

I like the miniature (insert names of candy bars here).

Truthfully, I am more of an Easter candy person myself. I would never pass up chocolate bunnies.

Isn't it ironic that we celebrate Jesus' ascension into heaven with candy, and that we also celebrate a pagan-associated holiday with candy?

Tim

Easter is a Pagan holiday too. So is Christmas. When Constantine the Roman Dude (forgive me, it's late and I've been studying for a STAT exam half the day)was trying to convert all the Pagans to Christianity, he knew he couldn't break all their traditions and expect them to follow without issue. So, Roman Dude mingled the Pagan traditional celebrations into the Christian faith and voila! We have Christmas trees, wreaths, Easter bunnies (pagan fertility reference) and so on and so on. Christians didn't invent any of that stuff. Christmas is Yule, Easter is Ostre/Ostarra (sounds similar eh?) and so forth.

You can read a bit about them here: http://www.catanna.com/paganholidays.htm
Or some about the Roman Dude here: http://atheism.about.com/b/a/254194.htm


My favorite candy is the mix you get in a trick or treat bag. I love picking out a Baby Ruth, then a pack of Twizzlers, followed by a Snickers. Oh yeah, I feel a candy bender coming on lol :lol:

I love me some Whoppers, and I did love Milk Duds before they starting hurting my teeth. And SweetTarts, and mini candy bars. And Twizzlers, of any variety.
