One thing that I’m really proud of myself for is KICKING my candy habit. I used to be a CANDY-O-HOLIC. I LOVED candy — anything from jujubes to winegums (mmmm…), jelly beans, those corn kernel thingies, skittles, you NAME IT. My WORST addiction, though, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, were Licorice Allsorts….

Oh. Ma. GAHHH. I used to eat these by the GINORMOUS BAG. I LOVED them. Couldn’t get enough of them. Something happened about two years ago, though — someone must have hypnotized me or something — because I went from being a total addict to a total I-CAN’T-EAT-THAT person. The idea of eating candy just doesn’t make sense to me anymore. Chocolate, at least, has calcium in it…? (MILK chocolate…?) Antioxidants? But, candy has NADA. Zilch. Bazoomba.
So, non-candy-eater that I am, I was really pleased to run into THIS confection at the supermarket yesterday….
And, NO, no one’s paying me to post this. I just like to share a good thing when I see it! Anyway, NIB LOVERS, these are ESPECIALLY FOR YOU — and I know you’re out there. They’re made of, like, 100% healthy ingredients, NOTHING ARTIFICIAL. BRILLERS. They feel like Nibs. They taste like Nibs. BUT, THEY AIN’T NIBS.
If you have a NIB or candy addiction, check these out. They’re a WAY-LOWER-CALORIE and WAY-BETTER-FOR-YOU alternative, AND, they taste good.
I’d give you some of mine, but they’re gonzo. Monkey and I ate ‘em all….
