All Week I have just been going berserk for Almond Joy candy bars. I have to have one every day - the vending machine sings its siren song and I give in. The strange thing is that normally I hate coconut. I just don’t understand it. Help me before I indulge again. ---

I recently discovered Nestle’s Chunky. It’s a thick chocolate square with peanuts and raisins. I just have to get one at lunch every day on campus. One reason I like it is that it’s perfectly square, smaller than a typical chocolate bar. It’s not as much to eat, but it still satisfies. * * * “Oh we were brought up on the Space-Race, now they expect us to clean toilets.

I admit it, I can’t walk past a Mr.Bulky or SweetFactory without loading up on JellyBelly “Sassy Sours.” My teeth ache too much to eat normal food afterwards. Sour candy has to be the worst for your teeth. ---

Moon Pies- MOON PIES Goddamit- I woke up nearly 2 hundred miles from the nearest moon pie dying to have one one night. Horrible sensation. I could have beat down a nun if she had one stuffed in her habit somewhere. Those and those pink snowballs from Hostess once. ---

The Candy Greater Than All Other Candy Combined: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Hands down, the most delicious and perfect synthesisof salt & sweet, perfectly textured to go down easy. (assuming they are very fresh. Very fresh RPBC’s are exquisite…I’m not as impressed with ones that have sat for a bit and gotten kinda dry and crumbly.) The only other candy that does it for me is See’s Butterscotch Squares, which are not really butterscotch at all, simply chunks of brown sugar and butter paste dipped in chocolate. Yum! ---

I go through candy phases, when I’m obsessed with one particular one for a few months, then move on…first one I can remember was Mounds, then Whatchamacallit, then Bar None (for a long time), then Pay Day. Right now I’m between phases. Do they still make Bar None?.. And who else remembers the heavenly chewiness that was the Marathon bar! ---

Oooh Marathons! They were like long braided milk duds. I loved the old Mars Almond Bars (today’s version isn’t the same) Reggie Bars, and also Chunkeys. * * * “On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright…” ---
