I Love Candy

Like most children and adults, I love candy. I am not afraid to admit this, because who wouldn’t love candy? After all, most of us were raised enjoying it as a special treat from grandma, or a special dessert.

I love candy, and especially I love candy with chocolate the most. Studies show that cocoa is actually good for us. It is rich in antioxidants, and other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. This is a great reason to love candy. Chocolate also satisfies our human desire for sweet and creamy foods. As we evolved, humans developed a taste for high calorie foods, and chocolate candy, which is high in fat and sugar, is quite possibly the perfect food from an evolutionary standpoint.

I love candy, especially jelly beans and other types of Easter candy. Every Easter morning, I look forward to seeing what the kids in the household get from the Easter bunny. They love candy so much better when it is from the Easter bunny.

I love candy, especially candy from trick-or-treat at Halloween. I remember looking forward to going door to door seeing what kind of candy would make me exclaim I love candy so loud the neighbors would hear me!

I love candy because I used to get candy as a reward and a treat. I remember my first grade teacher would have a little box with rewards in it. Every time a student did something really special, she would let us take an item out of the box. Most of the students in the class must have had serious candy love because we would almost always choose the candy over other prizes. But, hey, most kids love candy right? I would also eat hard candy at my grandma’s. I showed that I love candy because every time I would go there, I would immediately let my love of candy take over, and I would ask for candy before even saying “hello.” Maybe this is why I love candy and most of America has candy love too.
