Do you know your candy?










Want to join in a little fun on SCS, do you have a sweet tooth?
How well do your know your sour plums from your bulls eyes?

    OMG I am most definitely a sweet tooth....Here is my take on names those sweety bags
    1. Liquorice Torpedoes
    2. Kola Kubes
    3. Sherbert Strawberries
    4. Edinburgh Rock
    5. Sherbert Pips
    6. Pear Drops
    7. Barratts Shrimps
    8. Gobstoppers

    Now you have triggered the need for sugar......should I stamp for guilt free sugar treat or indulge and and have a rummage through the kids trick or treat bags? LOL
