Prompt – What is your favourite Valentine’s Day candy?
—
I’m kind of an oddball among women, as far as what manner of candy I prefer. (I’m an oddball in lots of other ways, too, but that’s not the topic of this post!) Chocolate seldom ‘does it’ for me. If I had my druthers, I’d eat cinnamon hearts all day. Or cinnamon bears. Or anything cinnamon-y.
Alas, something like ten years ago, I developed an allergy to cinnamon. No more cinnamon for me. (OK, I have some occasionally, and my lips, gums, and tongue swells and I remind myself not to do that again. But, CINNAMON!)
Given that caveat, I’ll opt for those candy conversation hearts instead. The white ones are my favorite. They’re spearmint, or something similar, that I just love. My least favorite ones are the yellow, banana-flavored ones. I try to choke those down first (or pawn them off on someone) then savor the white ones last.
What about you?

I never cared much for candy hearts. I usually let my brothers or kids have them. For a while we used to make chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine’s Day. Raspberries covered in white chocolate are really good, but they’re so juicy they tend to come apart easily.
