What’s your favorite candy?

In my family, asking about favorite candy is practically a forbidden topic. Why? Because lurking in the branches of my family tree are high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liveryou name it, and some relative has it. It’s like a medical bingo card where everyone’s a winner (or loser, depending on how you look at it). Now, it’s not that I don’t have a sweet tooth. I dobut it has been pruned, shaped, and disciplined like a carefully maintained bonsai. Take my tea, for example. I use just half a teaspoon of sugar. That 250g packet of sugar I bought months ago? Still going strong. Sweets, candies, cakes, chocolates,cup cakes, ice-creamsI have to be cautious around them. Too cautious. In fact, I should probably stop thinking about them right now before I start craving something I shouldn’t.
