my tastes in candy have expanded and changed as i have gotten older.
my taste in hersheys miniatures has been widely disseminated across ilx.watermelon and green apple jolly ranchers are a treat. i have a new taste for skittles of all types. still love runts and spree. twizzlers i think i have always been into; prefer regular black licorice and strawberry to the pull-and-peel variety, but i like all of them. starburst are good, especially the pink ones. sometimes i eat reg or peanut m&ms. i no longer like reese's products. thank you.

boston baked beans - yes
i love cadbury flake and mint aero chocolate bars. english chocolate is my favorite because it tastes kind of muted and doesnt feel like its coating my throat and suffocating me to death like some american or german chocolates.
