I’m A Hershey Girl

What is your favorite sweet thing to eat? Bread pudding? Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies? A smooth and creamy piece of cheesecake? Tell us all about the anticipation and delight of eating your favorite dessert. Not into sweets?

I like sweets, no doubt about it.  When I saw today’s writing prompt I thought “this is gonna be easy!”  I’ve been offered the widest variety of sweet treats you could ever think possible.  Baked treats, frozen treats, homemade or bakery fresh; I’ve always enjoyed a good snack and rarely have I said “no” to dessert when dining out.  Not only that, I’m a baker.  I love baking for family, friends, coworkers.  I even bake things that I don’t enjoy eating (cheesecake).

candy barBut my favorite, all time favorite sweet to eat:  The Hershey Bar.

Plain, simple, single serving candy bar.  I don’t need the king size or the snack size.  I don’t enjoy the new “drops” candy that’s come out recently–it tastes kind of waxy to me.

kissesThen there are the Kisses.  Again, just the plain, milk chocolate variety is all I need–no giant Kiss for Valentine’s Day or Easter.  The regular size in the silver foil wrapper are the best.  (In a pinch I’ll go with the caramel-filled ones, but that’s the only other one I’ll eat).
