Candy Smackdown



In the spirit of Halloween, our local newspaper (yes, we still get the newspaper) recently had a Candy Smackdown. Set up like a NCAA Basketball bracket, you worked your way from 64 candies down to the champion. We had a lot of fun making our "picks". Once we got down to the Elite Eight, we made it count with a full-fledged taste test. This involved a trip to our local candy store, Sweeties, that carries all the old time favorites. My mom even got in on the fun as our official tie-breaker. And the winner at our house?



Twix...winning 4 to 1 in the championship round (Steve picked Butterfinger). It must have been the caramel and chocolate deliciousness combined with the cookie crunch. Yum!
