Five Favorite Candies

The theme for Give Me Five Monday
this week is Five Favorite Candies. I should be cooking dinner just now, but I’m still bushed from running errands all day, so this counts as my coffee break!

  1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I only allow myself to have these occasionally, when I’m out shopping, because I do so enjoy them. Salty . . . sweet . . . chocolatey . . . What more need be said?
  2. Nestle Treasures, especially the “Rich Dark Chocolate Filled with Luscious Caramel” variety. I eat about one or two of these per day, with coffee. That’s to keep me sweet.
  3. Divinity, homemade. I find it doesn’t turn out as well in our damp climate as in dry Arizona.
  4. Peanut Brittle, homemade. Fortunately, I haven’t made this for decades.
  5. Do unbaked cookies made with rolled oats and cocoa count as candy? Those are really good, too.

    I never even thought of peanut brittle. Yummy. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are right at the top of my list. Yummy. Have a great GM5. :)

    Great post! I love reese’s. And I don’t think I’ve ever had homemade peanut brittle, but it sounds divine.

    You hit the nail on the head with the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! What an excellent way to describe my favorite candy, too!

    I like Reese’s too, and I’m going to have to buy some of those dark chocolate and caramel Treasures. This has been a very dangerous GM5!

    Thanks for your comment on my header. I thought it turned out well, but it’s nice to hear other people like it, too. :)

    Reese’s are really popular this week! My step-daughter would live on them if she could ;-)
