I Want Candy! Four Foods on Friday #40

(photo from Porcelaingirl° ~is on holiday~)
Four Foods on Friday from Fun, Crafts and Recipes gets sweet and sticky this week -- the questions are all about candy. Don't mind me, I'll be semi-conscious, covered in Tootsie Roll wrappers.

#1. Candy. Do you prefer sweet or sour candy?
I like sweet candy, although I do enjoy a SweeTart or two for a change.

#2. Gum. Love it? Hate it? What kind is your favorite?
Love gum. Addicted to Altoids Cinnamon gum. Buy it by the case, have some on my person at all times.

#3. What is your favorite candy?
Too broad a subject. Halloween candy: Tootsie Roll Midgees, SweeTarts, teeny Snickers. Grocery store: mint 3 Musketeers & 10 Grand bars. Easter, Heavenly Hash eggs, Christmas, chocolate covered cherries, peppermint bark (the stuff I make...) Premium: anything Godiva puts in a little gold box.

#4. Share a recipe for anything that you can include a piece of candy in.
Milky Way Cake -- sweet, decadent and soooo good. I got this on cooks.com.
