Four Foods on Friday #40
This week's FFOF is all about candy. A subject I LOVE. Which is why the treadmill we bought from our friends last night is going to come in very handy. (Thanks again, K and D!)
#1. Candy. Do you prefer sweet or sour candy?
Sweet, definitely. Becca gave me some of her sour candies at the movies today and they shredded my tongue.
#2. Gum. Love it? Hate it? What kind is your favorite?
Very rarely. I prefer mints, especially the new Tic Tac Chill Paradise Mint.
#3. What is your favorite candy?
Anything chocolate/salt or chocolate/coffee. Hershey's Take 5 is one of my favorites. I really liked Java Twix but unfortunately they were limited edition. M&Ms has a new line of premium M&Ms that features a Mocha flavor that's really good.
#4. Share a recipe for anything that you can include a piece of candy in.
I made this once a long time ago and it was delicious. I don't know why I haven't made it since. Maybe after Halloween?
Candy Bar Fudge

Cooking spray
1 (12 oz.) package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 (about 3.7-oz.) Snickers bars, chopped

Remove fudge from pan by lifting foil; remove fudge from foil. Cut into squares.
