I love all things chocolate, but for Christmas my husband and I have the silliest tradition. We buy each other a box of those chocolate mint patties and put them in each other's stocking. This started the first year we were married, 31 years ago, and continues to this day. So for Christmas, they are definitely my favorite because HE is my favorite!

What is your favorite candy?

camelama said...

My favorite holiday candy would be the Hershey's Kisses we steal from Mom's candy dish. The covered dish sits in the living room, and if you're not careful it rattles something fierce and annoucnes to everyone that you're sneaking chocolate! So the trick is to do it silently. It's a challenge - which makes the Kisses taste ever so good when you succeed!!!

camelama said...

I have no idea what your favorite might be, but how about an oldie but goodie: RIBBON CANDY! :)

Just One More Thing said...
