Fun Candy

It seems the stores roll out all of the fun candy for Valentine's Day more than any other season.

In fact, I was delighted to spot a box of fun dip (my favorite fun candy) as Valentines! "What could be better?" I thought. I quickly racked my brains for a reason to buy this delightful, only 2.50, box of fun dip valentines.

It didn't take long to realize I could force these on my students! So with much happiness and anticipation in my heart, I snatched them up.

Of course, there they sat reminding me of my childhood when we used to go to the little convenience shop on the way home from school, count out our change, and buy all kinds of fun candy. (pre St. Louis days...Iowa, friends.) So I had just had to have one.

And oh my goodness gracious I think I forgot that those things are pure sugar! So while tasty and fun, I really didn't need that sugar buzz that crashed right before going home.

What is your favorite fun candy? If it wasn't one in the poll, do tell all!
