Halloween Candy

I had a record 2 kids this year. I'm not letting the candy go to waste 🙂 Whoppers, Hershey's, Reese's, and kit Kats. Mmmmm... I'm surprised they lasted this long.
 
I found candy corn absolutely disgusting as a kid, and couldn't understand how people would willfully eat it. A year or two ago, I happened to get a bag for free (since I would not buy such a vile confection) and threw it in a drawer. One day, I was looking for something to snack on, and happened upon the bag, so though I'd give it a try. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had remembered, so I guess my tastes have changed 🙂 It's still not as good as chocolate. Nothing will ever be nearly as good as chocolate.
 
So our company has for the past two years been donating all the leftover candy to an organization that sends it to the troops.
At least that is what the gym lady tells us she very well could be sitting in the dark eating it 🙂 but at least I am not grazing on it.
 
Did Keto (low-carb) this summer until some health issues which has me still not eating any candy or sugary stuff. Probably 6+ months without much sugar/chocolate but some Simply Lite low-carb bars we would eat a few months ago.

Tried eating one of those bite sized Hersey Bars and a Peanut Butter Cup. HOLY CRAP they both tasted like shit to me. Blew my mind. Both were overly sweet and artificial tasting. Last year at this time I probably would have eaten enough to make myself sick.

Was able to eat a small bag of M&Ms yesterday as a test. Was OK, would eat a pound of them in one sitting.

When you stay off sugar for a while you don't crave sugar anymore. Even an apple would taste like a cotton candy's worth of sugar to you. I did a protein only thing back in the day and I remember this happening. It won't take long until you enjoy shoving 37 Reese's cups in your mouth in one sitting.

Note to self: buy bag of peanut butter cups.
 
the little twizzlers aren't the same as the big twizzlers. those little ones blow - they are definitely not the same as the normal ones.
