I’ve decided to try to document all the different kinds of candy I have the luxary of partaking in this year. I love candy. I’ve never been big on chocolate, but other candy I can totally splurge on: airheads, gobstoppers, nerds, peppermint patties…. It’s not so much that I have a sugar tooth. It’s more so that I have a mouth full of sugar teeth. (My dentist would hate this goal!)

Sometimes I get stuck on one sort of candy. It’s like I get enveloped in its delicious gaze and cannot break myself away for some unpredetermined amount of time. For awhile I was Peep-crazed. Then York Peppermint Patties. Then nonpareils and pez. Maybe by making this a goal, this documentation of candy enjoyed, I can be sure to spend quality with all my favorites and even find new ones, celebrating the love of all candies and leaving no one sort out in the cold world of forlorn grocery-store shelf abandonment.
