ACE created this "SNICKERS" for her dad, as a ceramics assignment.
I don't remember the exact "design requirement" ~ something with a wrapper? create an animal? something that is a "play on words"? Such a creative mind! She "cracks me" up!!
Which brings me to the SUBJECT of today's post!
C-A-N-D-Y
so... what do sort of CANDY do you like? something sweet? those sour candies with sugar? chocolate (dark? or milk?)? with nuts? what kind of nuts?

| what a deal! 2 cups in a pack!! |
My DAD was the original CANDY MONSTER! he loved all sorts of candy! if you went with him to fill the car with gas, he'd buy you a candy bar at the gas station!

| Cracker Jack's w/Sailor Jack |
Do you remember collecting the prizes? a ring, stickers, charms... what other prizes were there?
GRANDMA JESSE (Jesse was her last name! all my grandmothers were called "Grandma" + their last name to keep them separate from each other! Grandma Knock & Grandma Castillo... ) had a round glass jar on her desk that she filled with wrapped candies.

I'm a milk chocolate fan, kit kat currently my favourite, but will make do with a twix, mars bar,
ReplyDeletetwirl, flake, anything along those lines.
does any body remember something called moon dust or something like that, like sherbet but would explode in your mouth, we use to get that as a child.
Oh and I am rather partial to jelly beans, the ones that taste like candy floss.
I like milk chocolate with nuts and "jelly candy" (not like your jelly beans but similar) - and potatoe chips. Yum! :-)
ReplyDeleteI miss the old candy cigerettes. Crazy? Maybe. I, also, liked Bit of Honey and the one that was like it but on a stick and was caramel. Can't remember the name. Going to drive me nuts. I loved getting my books of life savers at Christmas. Sugar Daddy!!! That is what they were called.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm always a sucker for butterscotch, caramel or toffee. Or all three coated in chocolate. Dang - now I'm hungry.
I can never say "no" to chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris;
ReplyDeleteI so remember all you said about candy. Yes Grandma Jesse always did have that famous candy jar. Thanks for the memories;
Sue, cousin
Our treat on Friday nights as a kid, my dad would buy Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bars and a big bottle of Coca Cola. We would all sit in front of our black and white TV and watch the fights. My dad got the biggest kick out of Georgeous George!
