Hard Candy

[Bakershalfdozen]

Our kids' jr. church teacher (he's a dentist, BTW! ) passes out candy on Sunday and sometimes my husband makes comments about it saying that kids shouldn't even know what sugar is until they are teenagers. He'll go on and then eventually he will launch a lengthy discourse about all the different kinds of candy he ate as a kid. I rarely had hard candy as a kid and don't really have a taste for it. I remember the occasional peppermint, butterscotch, jaw breaker and cinnamon ball. That's about it.

Anyhoo, all of that rambling to ask...what is your favorite hard candy?

Maybe handing out hard candy to the children is good for his business? :cool

Jolly Ranchers for sure!

I don't like hard candy. I like things that I can chew and swallow. I don't want it to just sit there in my mouth and move it around. I wanna bite it. :lol

I agree with Kevin, mostly - I like softer candy, 'cause I like to bite it, too. Hard candy a lot of times hurts my teeth. But, if I had a favorite, it would be a toss-up between Jolly Ranchers (they come in gummies, now, num!) and butterscotch,.

Red Hots :frog

I generally keep red hots or tic tacs with me all the time, for my blood pressure medicine is bad about giving me dry mouth.

Red hots! I haven't seen any of them in years. I'll have to look around and see if I can find some.

All I can think of is...

"...a hard candy Christmas..."

I lose it after that.

Cinnamon hearts -- they're hard, right?

[Bakershalfdozen]

Well, I shouldn't have specified "hard" candy. Any non-chocolate candy will do. :Green Gummy worms, laffy taffy, all that stuff can be included.

[Salyan]

Well in that case...

Gummy berries, sour soothers and red licorice!
