real life candy

actipton80

Since this is a game about candy, I thought it would be fun to talk about real life candy. Like what kinds you like, if you know how to make any kinds of candy at home, candy stores, etc.

As for me, I'm on a strict diet right now, but my favorite way to indulge a sweet craving is a piece of chocolate, or a Zot. For people who don't know what Zots are, they are hard candies that have fizzy stuff in the middle. After you suck on one for a while, the fizz comes out a hole in one end. Then, when all the fizz is gone, I crunch it.

I also know how to make caramels, fudge, truffles, and divinity. I give caramels to a lot of people at Christmas time, and they are very popular. They are easy to make too, if you are willing to stand and stir them for 45 minutes. I want to learn how to make taffy. It's so neat to go to the candy stores at the beach and watch the taffy puller.

@CandyCrushIsCool I have a super easy recipe for peanut butter fudge that doesn't even require a thermometer, only a timer which I use the one on the oven. I've substituted other nut butters or even Nutella for the peanut butter to make other kinds of fudge too. There was one year that I must have made 15 batches of fudge using that recipe. And then I got a good thermometer and started making lots of caramels from an old family recipe.

Hey @actipton80!

I love Kit-Kats as they are my favorite candy to enjoy anytime. As for me, I’m trying to control my sugar addiction. It’s hard having to quit eating much sugar, just like it’s hard having to quit smoking.

I do love Starbursts as well. My favorite are the strawberry flavored ones.

actipton80

@candycrushinit I've been sugar addicted too, but I started a low carb diet in the beginning of 2020 because I was having problems due to the addiction. I went off the diet for about the past month or so because of my dad's birthday and my birthday and a vacation, but I've found that I can't handle as much sugar now.

I've been on a Hi-Chew kick lately. All the flavors I've tried are amazing but especially the mango flavored ones. I really want to try the pineapple flavored ones.

I will have to see how I fare when baking season starts in earnest. It will be hard not to sample the Christmas candy I make. I give a lot of it out as gifts.

My all time favorite candy is a chocolate bar from Australia, Nestle Violet Crumble. They are very rare to find here in the states, so even more of a extra special treat!

Thanks @Diamond Lim for the tag!

Hi @lilikoikisses

I couldn’t live without my Violet Crumble they really are delicious 😋

I also love dark chocolate 🍫

Thanks for the tag @Diamond Lim

lilikoikisses

@BQN537 they are the best! Every once in a while I think about importing a whole box from down under 😂

actipton80

They used to carry Violet Crumble at World Market, but now I only see the similar Cadbury Crunchie there. They used to have a bigger selection of Australian candies than they do now. They don't carry my favorite flavor of Aussie licorice any more which was ginger. They also don't carry Buderim bears (also ginger) any more. If I ever see those anywhere, I'm snagging a bag to save for a non-diet day.
