I am a lover of all things sweet. I can honestly say I am a sugar candy addict. I have been sober now for a year. I will only eat chocolate because I don't gorge on it like I do Skittles, Starburst, gummy bears, gummy worms, candy corn, candy hearts, circus peanuts( yes those squishy orange peanut shaped sugar. I can eat a bag in a day if given. and I am talking the BIG bags).etc and etc..... I hope you get the pictures.
Even though I have given up candy it has in no way changed my love of things sweet. I have just been more healthy about it. I adore fresh berries. This is one of my favorite times of year since they are so bountiful. I also adore fruit pizza. I mean sugar cookie crust, cream cheese frosting, fresh berries and a bit of drizzle! A past candy addict is in sugar heaven!
