Chocolate or Candy sweets

[Smithy]

What do you like more, Chocolate or Candy sweets?

I am a fan of both but prefer candy sweets.

 

[Shortie]

As much as I do like both chocolate and candy sweets, I would have to choose candy sweets this time.

 

[MamaFrankie]

Chocolate. I hate candy.

 

[Jacob Petersheim]

Chocolate can taste too good to stop.

When I was little, my family had a small neighborhood grocery. The store had a “penny candy counter” . You could get candy for a penny back then. Kids would bring in pop bottles that they found, collect the 3 cents and spend it on penny candy.
Because it was there all day, every day, I was never interested in candy. My mom’s rules were that after any meal, I could have all the candy I wanted; so it was just never a big deal for me, and except for an occasional malt-ball or two, I didn’t eat any of the candy.

On Halloween, I would trade my candy to other kids for their apples or homemade cookies that sometimes little old ladies baked for kids on Halloween. At Christmas, we always had a nativity play at church, and a bag of Christmas candy and treats afterwards, so I traded for the anpples and oranges in those bags, too.
I do like Lindor’s chocolates, but that is about the only candy or chocolates that i eat, and that is a holiday treat we have each year because Bobby loves those, too.

This is our store, early 1950’s, in the winter. I am on top of the pile of snow with my dog, Bonzo.

We had such a place as well, called "Goldie's" after the wife in the couple who ran it. Small pop bottles had 1 cent deposits and large bottles were 3. We didn't have a lot of bottles around though.

We lived there from when I was around 2 until 9 1/2 years old, then we moved out to the sticks. Financial reasons.

I got in big trouble at Goldie's once. I'd been sent for some groceries, and bought a tiny die-cast toy car for a dime from the change claiming Ma said it was ok. By the time I got home she had already called my mother, and this was just across a street and 4 houses from the store. I had to take it back and get the dime and apologize, then return home for punishment. I was probably 6 or 7.

Not sure what candy sweets are, but chocolate wins over anything else anyway.

I have emergency chocolate chips for, like, an emergency.

On Halloween, I would trade my candy to other kids for their apples or homemade cookies that sometimes little old ladies baked for kids on Halloween.

I did that too. I never really cared for most candy, although I do like mini Snicker's. But while I ain't blue, I am a Cookie Monster. Me like cookies!

I do like Lindor’s chocolates, but that is about the only candy or chocolates that i eat, and that is a holiday treat we have each year because Bobby loves those, too.

Lindor chocolate is pretty good. But you just ain't lived until you've had some real Belgian or Swiss chocolate. I love those big Toblerone bars.

Hmmm... Bonzo. That sounds familiar. Didn't he play drums in Led Zeppelin?

I like chocolate cocoa powder over my ice cream, no need for sugar since ice cream has plenty in it.
Have to mix it well or wet it so the powder doesn't choke you.
Cocoa is good for you has lots of vitamins and minerals in it.

This is long (45 minutes) but I post it here in case anyone cares. It isn't very encouraging.

Mostly chocolate. But then I consider chocolate to be candy, anyway.
