I know Tina has Cookie Friday so I figured I’d try Candy Friday.

Here are a few ideas to get you going:

1. No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

2. No-Bake Vegan White Chocolate & Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (with Chocolate-Peanut Butter centers)

6. Raw Vegan Coconut Oil Chocolate

7. Raw Vegan Caramels

3 ingredients, and yes, you must use all 3.  Don’t cheap out.  Someone always writes to me asking if they could substitute.  You don’t need more than 1/2 cup of the “expensive” ingredient, anyway.

Plus you can stuff them with nut butter.  Yum!

From my last post about Loving Spring, I’m glad that there are some signs of spring in your area and thanks for sharing your favorite things about spring.

This weekend we change the clocks to Daylight Savings TimeCan you believe it? It always feels so “officially” spring to me when that happens.

Questions:

1. What’s on your agenda this weekend?

I am working, possibly getting together with a friend, spending time with the family, and carrying on with cooking, cleaning, meal prep, errand running.   Hamster on a wheel. It’s ok though.  I’d rather be busy than not!

2. Favorite Candy?

This is beyond hard for me to answer.

I prefer chocolate, usually, over say “sugary” candy.   I would take a Heath Bar over a box of Nerds.   Or a Dark Chocolate Milky Way over a Starburst.  It’s funny though, I haven’t had any of those candy in years.

I do go in streaks where I love sugary candy such as suckers like Tootsie Pops or Blow-Pops, though.

Really, when it comes to candy, I’m not that picky.

I really love Sees Candies, though. They are so good and until I moved to California, I had never had Sees, but am now a fan, forever.

3. Any candy that you’d like to see me try to recreate? Or any candy that you’ve re-created at home?

I can’t promise it will necessarily be “healthier” because in order to make candy, sugar and chocolate are needed.  So not sure that’s necessarily “healthy”, but it may be fun to try to make some candy at home!

  1. Yum, so many great recipes here, candy Friday sounds good to me!

    1. A half marathon Sunday and maybe going out to eat.
    2. Anything with chocolate really.
    3. Snickers. :-)

  2. On my agenda this weekend is a paper and presentation for school. Yay?

    My favorite candy is anything chocolate mint. I was obsessed with York peppermint patties, but now that I am cutting back on my sugar, I haven’t had any.

  3. I made your raw brownies the other day and oh my god! yum! your turdles i have to try carmal is my weakness i also saw you made a carmal maciato have to try!!!!! could you remake a kit kat bar???

  4. Candy! Especially all of the chocolate! I’m trying to increase my greens right now, but maybe just one bite…

  5. I love candy! And caramely things are my faves! Although I’m confused, what is the “expensive” ingredient in your raw vegan caramel? I have all of those ingredients in my house!

  6. Hello darlin!! well elts see…photography seminar this weekend. I got off of work this weekend for it. Ive had it planned for months so Im stoked. And a weekend off from work so double bonus! ha!

    Oh favorite candy..hhmm anything chocolate and PB for sure!! (Those PB cups are among my top fav!) have an amazing weekend!

    1. photog seminar sounds fabulous!!

      please comment back and lmk if you learn anything outstanding..or just anything…i may forget to check your site if you post about it, so lmk. :)

  7. I love all your candies, but anything with chocolate is at the top of the list. (No surprise!)

    Working extra hours this weekend because another employee got fired. (Which is how I got my job; replacing a fired employee.) I have no idea what she did to get fired; nobody’s talking. Rob says I should find out to make sure I don’t make the same mistake! I’m not worried about it; I consider myself a model employee, plus I’ve become buddies with the president. (Never hurts to have friends in high places!)

  8. I love sees. I see (hehe) them at the airport in Phoenix and just drool.

    I am actually more of a sugar candy fan. i don’t like my chocolate dilluted. I prefer it just straight up, dark and delicious.

  9. I can always count on you for some friday indulgence temptation! The coconut morsels look like a must try!!

  10. Oh gosh! Naming my least favorite candy would be easier, and the only one that comes to mind is tootsie rolls. If you can recreate the conversational hearts I would love you forever. Those have to be my all time favorite, though they seem to be a hit or miss for most people. I no longer buy them because they contain gelatin :(

  11. I’d choose a dessert like a peanut butter cookie over candy any day. But as far as candy goes, I like dark chocolate and nuts. Dark chocolate covered cashews are delicious. I also love Dove Promises in all sorts of flavors!

    Note: I’m am not a normal teenager when it comes to eating. Foods that have been dyed to be bright colors (including most fruity candies) freak me out!

  12. The rate of random mutations among humans is pretty well understood. Some mutations are harmful; some are beneficial and some are neutral
