Friday's Favorite Five: Candies That Are Not Chocolate

     I've been in a Tootsie Roll Pop mood lately. It's gotten to the point to where I'll eat two or more daily. That's not strange in and of itself; the odd part is that I'm craving candy that isn't totally chocolate. So, that got me to thinking: while I'm a certified chocoholic, I do enjoy certain candies that aren't chocolate. What are my five favorites? Well, here they are (in no particular order).
1. Tootsie Roll Pops (obviously): These are the only lollipops I'll eat. And they are essential low-calorie (60 per pop) which works with my diet. My favorite flavor is blue raspberry, but it's extremely difficult to find those. I also like raspberry and chocolate; grape is my least favorite, but I'll eat it if it's the only one available. I really like the new flavor strawberry watermelon as well.

2. Gummy Bears: Who doesn't like gummy bears? I like soft chewy ones, not the ones that are hard and chewy. They're even better covered in chocolate!

3. Gummy Berries: These are difficult to find at a supermarket. Sometimes I find them at the Dollar Tree, but most of the time I have to purchase them from a candy shop. You know the ones: gummy candy shaped like a berry and covered in those tiny crunchy pellets. Yum!

4. Red Hots: I have to be in the mood for them, but these chewy cinnamon candies rank among my favorite.

5. Twizzlers: Again, who doesn't like Twizzlers? I prefer the chewy ropes, but my absolute favorite is the caramel apple ones that are only available in the autumn.
