Chocolate!! Lots of chocolate! That's my weakness! Chocolate cake, chocolate bars, chocolate ice cream, hot chocolate...

Back when I could still have it, it was chocolate covered cherries or anything with cherries. Peppermint patties came a close second.

I don't eat candy. Well... When I go to the Dollar General store I hit their 25¢ storebrand candy rack for one chocolate bar with almonds and one peppermint patty thing. But that's all. And I only go there, oh, as often as I can find some feeble-assed excuse to do so. But I'm not addicted or anything. No, not me.

I'd love to stay and chat some more but I think we're down to only three or four gallons of laundry detergent. Need to run down to the Dollar General store and pick up a couple more. Hope they've restocked the peppermint patty rack today. It was lookin' kinda low this morning. Well, the peanut butter patty things are pretty good too....

'those caramels from Alice in Montana'

Thanks, Rapaire!
We were judged one of the best tasting products at the New York Fancy Foods Show in June 2004... chosen from many thousands of companies from around the world.

I'm trying to avoid sugar, so I make treats at home with stevia (all natural and no calorie sweetener herb).

There used to be some candy in the rations we got in the Army...just jerking your chain, brucie!

No matter how hard I try, I do sometimes break down and buy a Rocky Road bar (fresh, not stale). Chocolate over cashews and marshmallow. Mmm-mmm-good! I'm also partial to white chocolate Reese's cups and those caramels from Alice in Montana.

But I'm supposed to be on a sugar-free diet 'cause of insulin resistance. Aspertame gives me headaches, saccharine leaves a bad after taste, and the sorbitols upset my stomach.

No, I haven't found anything in the way of candy, yet.

But I have found Splenda sugar substitute. Can't tell the difference between it and sugar (maybe because it's supposed to be made from sugar). It's delicious on berries! Really.

I've often wondered: if I ate equal quantities of "invert sugar" and regular sugar, wouldn't they cancel each out?

If it has sugar in it and is an un-natural shade of anything, it's good in my books.

There is a gummy candy out called Dinosours. Man oh man are they good. Especially the green ones. There are four colours which loosely correspond to certain flavours: Green, Yellow, Red and Orange. They are the colours; I guess the flavours to be green, yellow, red and orange. My all-time favourites used to be jujubes--tough call between them and jelly beans--but these thangs are really gooooood.

I seek the informed and enlightened opinions of others, figgering while we chew the fat we might also provide others with the idea of something else to chew.

For folks who restrict their sugar intake for one reason or other, have you found something that is really good and doesn't contain sugar?

That's it. Thought folks might like to forgit about politics and war for a while.
