What is your favourite sweetie?

[susimoo]

I am just home from a late lunch in Glasgow. It was at an Italian restaurant we always go to, Di Maggio''s. Anyway, on the way home I knew i had to have smarties!! So I am now about to watch the Spanish football derby game between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with a vodka and coke and a BIG bowl of smarties! lol

( chocolate drops in coloured sugar coated shell.

It got me thinking, what is your favourite sweetie?

Funny, in the US Smarties are a sugar candy, similar to PEZ. http://www.smarties.com/ While I say to each their own on candy cravings, I thought Smarties was an interesting craving. Especially a bowlful with vodka and coke.

Chocolate smarties sound similar to M&Ms, and I get that!

I often crave peanut M&Ms, or small size Reese''s Peanut Butter cups. I like both of these with hot tea because the chocolate melts in my mouth.

Shameful admission. I ate the peanut M & M''s before I started on the smarties. It is saturday! No calories in a saturday, right?

I like lemon drops and mint chocolate brownies.

Well, my first response was going to be my husband, of course, and then I realized you meant food. D''oh!

My absolute favorite would probably be homemade chocolate chip cookies, preferably right out of the oven.

Really though, I don''t discriminate. I love pretty much anything with chocolate.

 

[oddoneout]

Smarties aren''t "real" smarties in the U.S.? We have Smarties in Canada. Yes they are like m&ms. I would have to say any good quality chocolate is my favourite.

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Lindt chocolate when I want super sweet chocolate

For cool deserts - Rice dream mint chocolate cookie sandwiches. I was eating one every day trying to ignore that they''re 300 calories each. . .finally decided to break the habit.

You can get smarties in the US. MMMMMMMMM They are different than M&M''s because they are flavored... The colors all taste different. I LOVE THOSE. I also love fruit pastilles. My grandparents are from Ireland so I got spoiled with the yummy european candy at an early age.

 

[jewelz617]

I thought of another favorite I can never find, Pear PIM'S cookies.

I see them in raspberry and orange but never pear anymore.

REALLY? smarties in Canada are the chocolate kind with candy coating.. I thought the OP was being kind of silly for describing them Who knew that they weren't the same everywhere !

[iheartscience]

My older sister's chocolate chip cookies-I just finished eating one! She's visiting this weekend and she brought me a giant Zip Lock bag full of them! (She always does!)

Her cookies are AMAZING. Don't tell my mom but they're even better than hers!

ETA hope you're cheering for Barca, susimoo!

No worries!!! It actually made me lol

I figured they might vary throughout the many countries other PS''ers live in so I erred on the side of caution. Chocolate love is a serious business, you know!

 

[PumpkinPie]

that''s a really hard thing to narrow down.. there are so many great sweeties..

I do LOVE my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven though - one of the best things ever.. and the batter is delicious too!

Unfortunately we don''t have them here.

They look a bit like refreshers, but they are kind of fizzy, so not sure! We need an expert in both british and american candy to come in and verify this situation!!!!
