Glad that it's for a month, and not just one day.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I love good Dark Chocolate. Especially turtles with the pecans and carmel. I will surly celebrate but not too much,

Yeah, a whole month is definitely necessary because a lot of planning will have to go into this.

I have had these. They are delicious, but I no longer eat them becuse they have erythritol in them.

I know that ingredient is natural in some fruit, but I avoid it whenever possible.

I understand, @Carmie. Consuming a lot could be problematic for some people. I don't think a tiny amount in an occasional piece of candy is anything to worry about compared to other things that are consumed more often and generally not even given a second thought by most people. JMO

Month? Try every day is candy day with me. My favorite is a Snickers bar (but it has to be the giant one, not the fun size). I keep a small candy dish filled with M&Ms (plain). When I walk by it I pop a couple in my mouth. I also LOVE English toffee (milk chocolate covered). There's a beautiful candy store near me called Bridgewater Chocolates and their toffee is excellent.

Has anyone tried the Swedish candy? It's my newest obsession. I get a 1-1/2 lb bag from the Bon Bon store in NYC. It's a mix of sweet and sour. There's are jelly's, gummies, marshmallows....all different shapes, sizes, and flavors. You absolutely cannot stop with these. My family is obsessed as well!
