Were you allowed to eat any candy?

Re: WORST candy wank

Yep. We were always allowed to eat one piece that same night, and pick out a few more pieces to keep in the freezer. Mom would ceremonially dole out one piece of frozen candy to each kid as after-supper dessert each night until they were gone. Needless to say, the punishment for sneaking in and eating it at non-approved times was swift and terrible.

Did I mention that my mom was a psych major? She understood, vaguely, that making junk food a Forbidden Delight was how you gave your kids eating disorders. Instead, her mantra was "Junk food is a special thing that we eat a little bit at special times".

(Because, you know, associating food with control and ritual never caused anyone any problems, oh no.)

Frozen candy?

To be fair, frozen Reese's cups are the bomb.

Grind frozen Reese's in a blender, add chocolate ice cream, add milk. Delicious milkshake.

NAYRT

I assume Nonny is talking about chocolate? Frozen chocolate is very tasty if you let it melt a bit (maybe more than a bit if it's got toffee or something else toothbreaking inside it).

Frozen candy corn though.

Does anyone remember Charleston Chews? You froze them on purpose to make them edible, then broke them while they were frozen. The strawberry was my favorite. Wow, I'm old. That is old-timey candy now, isn't it?

Yes, but I'm fascinated nonetheless by your candy-eating lifehacks.

Re: WORST candy wank

I mean, I've seen them before but I never knew you were supposed to freeze them. That candy makes so much more sense now (and at the same time, so much less...).

Charleston Chews are DELICIOUS, but I like them better if you microwave them for a couple seconds. If you want to be fancy, add graham crackers for instant s'mores.
