I loooooooooooove SIXLETS!!! You can only find them at 7-11 gas stations, and in the mini packs at Easter..but MY GOODNESS we stock up at Easter. Last year Dan bought me 10 bags at Easter, which were supposed to last a year...YEAH RIGHT...They lasted me about 3 months though...I guess hes gonna have to hide them and give them to me a bag at a time lol. Reese's Pieces are good too. I like taking the peanut butter cups and putting them in the fridge, and eating them cold. Have you tried the walmart brand, that is the mint peanut butter cups? Those are great as well, they taste like Ande's Mints. Ironically enough..I really dont like chocolate that much.

What are sixlets? I've probably seen them and not realized what they were. I love Rolos, Runts, Krackle candy bars, and Payday candy bars. Oh, and have you seen the Reese's Cup Ice cream treats now?

This is hard since I have such a sweet tooth. My all time favourite is probably Reese's Pieces, I've never gotten sick of those. I also love Cadbury, especially the Dairy Milk Peanut Butter bar and Mini Eggs.

i love Cadbury too and i dont care about my waist line when it comes to chocolate (obviously!!!!!). Chocolate calls to me and tells me it wont add on pounds and i eat it and eat it!

Cadbury is a must for me around Easter time. I always want to stock up on them, but my waist line forbids me to do that. : )

I like Reese's cups. The plain original ones.I don't care for any varieties they have come up wth. Plain old Reese's for me. Sometimes I do like Kit Kats or plain Hershey's chocolate bar. With 8 children and 5 grandkids,I can't believe there is candy I have never heard of. What are Sixlets?

I have such a sweet tooth that if it's sweet I'll eat it and love it lol. If I had to chose a favorite chocolate bar it would be a tie with 3 musketeers and Aero. If it is candy though I would have to say it is a tie with Jelly Belly's and Skittles! Now I really really really want something sweet!

Rub your eyes if you must and read it again. Battered and deep-fried candy bars. Milky Way and Snickers, to be exact. How over the top is that? The candy bars are skewered on sturdy sticks -- it is the fair after all -- and then dipped in a sweet batter, something like funnel cake goo. Into hot vegetable oil they go, and round and round they twirl until golden brown. A dusting of powdered sugar, a few minutes of cooling and they are ready to eat. Orme says her brother-in-law tells everyone that the deep-fried Milky Way tastes like melted chocolate chips and the Snickers like a brownie with nuts. Doggone if he's not right. The Milky Way's caramel and malt-flavored nougat center melts into the milk-chocolate coating so that when you bite into the fried concoction the center is a unified blend of the tastes. Likewise, the peanuts, peanut butter nougat and caramel of the Snickers bar. When the ingredients meld together, the eater is hard-pressed to identify it as a Snickers bar. It tastes that different. Boy, oh boy, are they good. Christine Angell, 15, gives her sister, Ally, 11, a bite of a deep-fried Snickers bar at the Florida State Fair on Friday. The girls are from Riverview. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If you like gooey deserts, these are for you," Orme says. The deep-fried candy bars are the newest taste treats at this year's State Fair, which continues through Monday at the fairgrounds in Tampa. Orme saw the candy bars at the Minnesota State Fair last year and figured they were worth a try in Florida. Sales weren't stellar on Thursday's opening day when rain pelted brave fairgoers through most of the day. By Friday, though, with a beautiful blue sky blanketing Tampa Bay, hopes and sales were picking up. Orme, whose family-run Carousel has been a staple at the State Fair for 20 years, also is roasting marshmallows -- dipped in chocolate if you'd like -- this year. She says she was inspired to add roasted marshmallows to Carousel's huge menu by her grandchildren, who love to toast them over the fire when they visit her and her husband, Larry, at their Corydon, Ind., home. "This state fair is a good place to try the marshmallows because there are a lot families here," Orme says. There's also a lot of eating going on. For all the fun things to do and see at the fair, eating has to be on the top of the list. Sure, the Ferris wheel offers a sky-high view of Hillsborough County, and where else can you sit on bleachers and cheer on a cow as she gives birth? But, honestly, if you can start and end your day with a corn dog and eat cotton candy, ice cream, gyros, fried chicken gizzards, pizza, saltwater taffy, fresh-squeezed lemonade and elephant ears in between, well, that's just gluttony at its most gluttonous. Other notable food sightings were creme brulee at the Tiko Taco Hut and tacos in a bag, which were made by opening a bag of Fritos and dumping in chili, lettuce, salsa and a fork. This year's fair offers the usual array of fattening food, which isn't too dreadful for most of us because the roar of the grease and the smell of the cows is just a once-a-year affair. For Orme, a second-generation concessionaire who started her career about 50 years ago at age 8 selling Kewpie dolls for her father at fairs in Indiana, it's a struggle to stay away from temptation. By the end of Carousel's Florida swing, as they go from the State Fair to the Plant City Strawberry Festival to the Miami-Dade County Fair and Exposition, she's had her fill of food on a stick. "After a while," she says, "you're looking for something green." But when the Florida State Fair opens and she hasn't had a whiff of grease in months, the smell of sausage, peppers and onions is so tantalizing, Orme has to take a taste. She's partial to chopped-pork barbecue sandwiches, too. The deep-fried candy bars aren't her thing, she says, but she hopes they become a fair standard. We've got a suggestion for next year to allow weight watchers to get a taste of the deep-fried candy bar without eating a whole one. Bite-size battered and deep-fried Milky Ways and Snickers. Three tiny ones for $2, instead of one big one for $3. Remember, you read it here first. Funnel Cakes 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 egg 1 cup milk 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar In a mixing bowl, beat together egg and milk. Beat in flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar and granulated sugar until smooth. Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in frying pan to 375 degrees. Pour half-cup batter through funnel into oil with a circular motion to form a spiral. Fry until lightly brown; turn over to brown the other side. Cook to golden brown, and remove to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar while still warm. Makes 5 to 10 cakes. Source: www.allrecipes.com
