One of my most favourite
candy bars, growing up, was a PAYDAY. Even though it had no
chocolate in it. (And why the heck doesn’t it???)
I’m not sure how long I
went without eating one—as I was pretty much on a diet for about forty years!
(Yes. Of course, I should be on one now. I’ve just given up. I’m no longer mentally and emotionally prepared to starve myself.) Two
years ago, however, I started buying My Sweet Hubby (MSH) and me the little
“snack-size” PAYDAYS. Okay. So I eat four at a time and could just
have a big one. Sigh.
Many, many, MANY moons ago,
one of my Sweet Bridge Club Gals put, on her tables for her hostess night, some candy corn and
peanuts. In the same bowl! She said: Take a couple of peanuts and eat them with
one or two candy corns. Voila! Tastes very much like a PAYDAY!
Honestly, I’m much better
about controlling how many calories I consume when I do it this way. Because it
doesn’t take more than ten-ish candy corns and twenty-ish roasted peanuts to
satisfy My-0n-Going-And-Quite-HOPELESS-Sweet-Tooth/Teeth.
(Guess what? Those Jelly
Belly candy corns? GLUTEN-FREE . Yep. Little Leighton gets candy corn this year
and LOVES it. A lot.)
Hope Y’all have a Wonderful
Week—wherever in this World you are…
HUGS and TTFN...
