Re: How Much Candy Do You Actually Eat?

Well, more than I should but we still have candy from the Halloween Era in a bowl I noticed.

 

I do have a square of really dark chocolate ever day, and we have some See's candy and we both have a piece every few days and will until it's gone.

 

Spouse is far worse about eating sweets than I am.

Heath bars, hands down favorite. In fact Dairy Queen has a heath bar "Blizzard."

Re: How Much Candy Do You Actually Eat?

Those Lindor Truffles are my favorite!  I guess I am in the minority here --- I could eat candy until it comes out my ears and eyes!  I definitely am addicated to candy!  I adore just about anything chocolate.  Unfortunately, I don't care much for dark chocolate, which is the best for you!  I adore gummi bears also.  Those Hershey blocks of chocolates that come in a bag --- yum!  I had to go cold turkey and stop eating all of it because I was really packing on the pounds!  Haven't had ANY candy since the beginning of the year!  The withdrawal for the first two weeks was HORRIBLE!

Re: How Much Candy Do You Actually Eat?

I try not to even bring candy in the house except around Christmas. I'm not fussy at all about candy, but my fave is M&M peanuts and I could eat a big bag and not bat an eye.

Re: How Much Candy Do You Actually Eat?

I never eat candy. I can not imagine wasting my calories for the day on such an empty nutritious non food as candy. I am only allowed so many calories to keep my weight in check. 

I probably have not eaten candy in 30 plus years.  I am very picky on what goes into my body for fuel and repair... never would ingest junk food especially at this stage of my life.

Re: How Much Candy Do You Actually Eat?

I've been buying hard candy and taking it to the hospital for coworkers and patients for over eight years.  I don't eat it.  I can even avoid chocolate.

Re: How Much Candy Do You Actually Eat?

I can take or leave most candy except for Peanut M&M's, toffee, caramel and most sugary stuff like Smarties, Sweet Tarts, etc.    I try not to buy a bag of any of those because I have no will power.  I do keep a candy dish on my desk at work but I can fill it with candy I'm not real fond of and it doesn't tempt me (Tootsie Rolls for example).

I have a bag of the assorted Hershey's minis in the freezer. I might take a couple and then not touch it for months and months.  Chips, not sweets, are my weakness.

Re: How Much Candy Do You Actually Eat?

Too much! Here's another vote for peanut m&ms! My favorite, although there are lots of other candy bars, etc that I like too.
