My younger brother gave me a piece of candy and it is called 'Mr. Yema.' In fact, it is my first time seeing this candy. A new one I should say. I ran out of coffee candies so I asked him to share this piece of candy. 'Yema' is a Spanish word that means 'egg yolk.' Traditionally, it formed due to battered egg yolks, peeled lime, and sugar. All I know that it is originated in Bulacan, Philippines.
Are you fond of nibbling sweet candies?
Any favorites of candies out there?

I used to have a sweet tooth when I was younger but these days I am trying to cut down on sugar and sweets because I know they are not good for you or your treeth.

@sharonelton I agree. Once a person acquired this disease, it will be forever in his or her life.

@Shavkat yes, I have.
For sometime, I was putting it in rice cakes, bread, and even chocolates.

Pretty and I both like candies. I've got a bag of Snickers bars in my bedroom. I like them because Pretty won't eat them. 
(She doesn't like peanuts in candy so leaves these alone.

@DaddyEvil They are imported goods so pricey here.

@Shavkat Really? I didn't think they were too expensive. I got six regular size candy bars for $6. (I also get the Zero candy bars sometimes, too. Pretty won't take those, either.)
