Candy conversation

Lately I've been wondering, if someone were to give me a fantasy basket of candy filled with my very favorite candies of all time, what would be in it?
I’ve decided that in my basket would be Reese’s Cups, Snickers bars, Brach's Butterscotch, Twizzlers, M&Ms, Raisinets and Chunkys.
Yes, this is the sort of thought that I have but remember, it’s only a thought. I’m not actually eating the fantasy basket of candy. The fantasy basket of candy doesn’t actually exist and therefore, it can be as big and fabulous and chocolatey as I want it to be without adding one inch to my waistline.
Tonight, I asked Tracy what his fantasy basket would include and was surprised to hear his enthusiastic answer, Smoothies. I’d never even heard of them but it turns out, they’re a favorite of Tracy’s. Also in his basket are Paydays and Teaberry gum.
After having this candy conversation, we both headed back out, me to photograph an event at work and fill up my car with gas, he to Home Depot and Walgreen’s. I asked him to pick up a few packs of Kleenex for me since I’m working tomorrow night and Saturday too, my allergies have kicked up, and I need to have my own personal Kleenex supply while I’m running from event to event.
We reconvened and he presented me with my Kleenex and this.

A Chunky! I didn’t know they were still being made, but they are. Maybe it won’t hurt to eat this one little piece of the fantasy basket.

It looks as though Tracy loves peanut butter as much as I do although I have never seen a Smoothie on the shelves. Now I will be on the look-out.

That's so sweet! I was never a Chunky fan myself...but I'm sure we carried them at the drugstore where I worked in high school. We had quite the lavish display of candy...and I Hoovered a substantial portion of it.
