Sounds YUMMY! I like smarties too. No peanut butter? That's interesting. I know people who are allergic of course but haven't known someone who just doesn't flat out like it, smell and all, ha. <br /><br />It's always so hard to buy candy, seems every year is hit or miss.

Hands down my favourite candy is smarties. They are like M&M's but no peanut ones, thank goodness. I HATE peanut butter with a passion. I'm not allergic but I can't even get past the smell of it. Maybe it's because I wasn't brought up on it. Hadn't even heard of it until we came to Canada from England in the 60's. I don't really like any nuts in any candy or cake but I like raw nuts. Weird eh!! I love, love, love chocolate so aero, mars bars milky way carem all get my vote. My favourite English chocolate bar is Fry's creme bar-dark chocolate with white fondant inside, mmmm. Don't know if you get any British stuff in the U.S. Oh, and we only got 5 kids last night so I've still got a ton of chocolate bars to eat. What a tough life!!!lolJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-45631928208242882922015-11-01T09:49:51.996-06:002015-11-01T09:49:51.996-06:00We had about 30 kids and gave out Nacho chips and ...We had about 30 kids and gave out Nacho chips and handfulls of O Henry/Hershey/Resses Pieces/Jolly Ranchers.

I am not buying it is the preferred candy in Alabama. Everyone I know gives out chocolate of some kind. I love snickers so I will not give them out, too tempting for me. I will admit to eating candy corn as long as it is mixed with white chocolate m&m's and salted peanuts. Kind of like a super sugar high trail mix.

The ones you named are great. But, I prefer Mounds to Almond Joy. M&Ms! yum. <br /><br />I didn't recognize the favorite for Alabama, no matter how large I made the map. When I went to the website, it was Airheads! What kind of candy is that? I'm baffled.<br /><br />This is the first time ever that I have not bought Halloween candy--candy corn and the little chewy sticks of chocolate wrapped in paper that is twisted at the ends. What am I thinking about? Help! I got damp and cannot think...lol. <br /><br />I just bought myself one Reese's cup.
