Your Questions About Sugar Free Candy


Helen asks…

Does anyone else think sugar-free candy canes taste like rubber?

the after taste is awful!
i bought bob’s sugar-free candy canes and they have a digusting flavor and they’re so ugly. they’re not shaped like normal canes, the curve is like.. out and not even curved in.

Susie answers:

I don’t eat sugar free anything.

Sharon asks…

What ingredient is in sugar free candy and other snacks that cause constipation?

Is this ingredient in all sugar free products?

Susie answers:

I don’t know of any such ingredient. More often, the problem is diarrhea rather than constipation– and the cause is the sugar substitutes maltose or fructose. Usually there is a warning on packages indicating that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.

What sugar-free candy do you like the best?

Susie answers:

Double D Mints.

Your Questions About Halloween Candy


Michael asks…

Does anyone have good tips to help me get alot of Halloween candy?

Hi, my friends and I are being crayons for Halloween this year, and going to a good naihborhood (sorry I can’t spell :) but anyways, does anyone have some tips they would like to share with me? On how to get Aton of candy :] thankks!

Susie answers:

Go to houses instead of apartments, and the better they are decorated – the better the candy potential. Where there’s an elementary school, in these good neighborhoods you are going to, there’s lots of other kids, which means lots of prepared parents with candy.
Use a big bag/bucket, so it seems like you haven’t gotten much, have a huge opening to receive much (eye tricks) and, make sure you smile and seem enthusiastic about it. Make sure to say thank you and wish them a Happy Halloween.
Ah, and get an early start. My siblings and I usually begin at noon, which is when lots of parents are taking really younger kids out as well(because the kids are usually scared of the dark).
And, finally, an odd tip: Bring an adult for security, and, more so, intimidation. XD
Happy Halloween! :)

Helen asks…

Where can I donate a portion of my daughters halloween candy?

I have asked hospitals and tried to find some children’s adoption homes to donate a portion of my daughters Halloween candy. I want to teach my daughters (7 and 2 months) the magic of giving. However no one wants to accept my generosity. I wanted to donate exclusively to children who can’t go trick or treating. I live in Western Pennsylvania. Does anyone know somewhere or have any ideas on where I can donate the candy?

Susie answers:

Mints

Thomas asks…

How to stop eating so much leftover Halloween candy?

Well now after all the left over Halloween candy, i cant stop the temptation of eating all the candy.Do you guys have any other suggestions to stop these temptations and leave the candy alone BESIDES
-throwing it out
-eating fruits cause it doesnt seem to help much

Susie answers:

Give your bag to someone to take care of and you have to ask them 4 candy if u want sum and THEY will decide if u’ve had too much or not

Mary asks…

Why do people put pins and needles in the Halloween candy?

Why do some people sneak pins, needles, and razors in the Halloween candy before they give it out to the trick-or-treaters?

Susie answers:

Has that actually been proven or is that still an urban legend?

Ruth asks…

What are some tips for ALOT more halloween candy next year?

Okay, well i just finished my sac of candy in 1 week, i Only had 3 bucket fulls, my friend had like 7 bucket fulls, HOW?!?! how can i get the most out of next years halloween?

Susie answers:

Go to neighborhoods that have the most middle-income retired people because there will be more of them home and they don’t have to spend money on their own kids for Halloween. Go where there are more houses close together. Plan ahead so you don’t have to backtrack or zigzag around and waste time. Ask friends where they got the most candy. Don’t wear a costume that will offend anybody. Visit homes where people know you – unless of course they don’t like you :)

Betty asks…

What are some good Valentine’s Day gifts for a lot of people?

Okay, so i am VP of a club at school and for Valentine‘s Day we are doing an exchange where everyone gets something for everyone and put it into like a bag(like we all did in elementary school). But my question is: What do i get?

I did not want to do candy bcuz EVERYONE will do candy, I want something unique, fun and not that expensive. I had the thought of getting everyone $5 giftcards and a personal note and some candy together but thats expensive as i have like 32 people to buy for and then i had the thought of buying those m&m’s with the sayings on the back but yeah thats a bit pricey as well because im not really sure how much of that candy i will need. So needless to say I need HELP because i want my gift to be the most creative and of course the BEST!, im VP for God’s sake! lol

P.S. im on a budget of about 65 dollars

THANKS in advance!!

Susie answers:

Go to the dollar store and get a bunch of cute Disney pens or mechanical pencils – put them in a red cup or bag, add Hersey Kisses (even though it’s candy). While you are there look for other things they might have that you would like to give.

Make bookmarks – cute fancy paper or from magazines and laminate them. They can be abstract or a photo of the school mascot.

Ruth asks…

What else should i get her for Valentine’s Day?

Ok. I know valentine‘s day is 2 weeks away. but im shopping early so i make sure i have something for her and don’t blow my money. i decided for part of her gift to be m&m’s dat i rote little sayings on like: i love u. and u + me = forever. so i got that. but… just candy seems a little stupid. i don’t know. she’s 14. and i wanna get her something awesome to show her i really care bout her. what can i get for her?

Susie answers:

Awww, i think the m&m’s is such a cute idea. Well, is there anything you know she’s really into? Maybe her favorite band? Maybe their latest cd if she doesnt have it, or a concert ticket. Maybe a sterling silver necklace, if she likes jewelry. Nothing fancy, maybe with just a little heart pendant.

Your Questions About Christmas Candy Cane Poem


Linda asks…

how can a poem be cute ??????

i wrote this poem and my teacher kept going on about how cute it is and i dont get it here it is

Candy Cane
striped
red and white
minty
sweet
a very nice
christmas treat

Susie answers:

Is a perception matter, it rimes, it has a message (cute one) but once again is a personal perception.

Lizzie asks…

What do you think of this poem Ifound?

I wrote this poem back in the sixth grade and I found it in one of my composition books. Please tell me what you think.

I am from my sister who whines,
Brothers who’re mean,
A sister who’s strange, while I’m in between.
The yelling, the laughing, the sweet lullabies,
When my brothers are cruel, my poor sister cries.

I am from books when I get lost in the pages,
About brave knights who put dragons in cages.
The vampires, zombies, and werewolves, too.
I’m from getting excited when I read something new.

I’m from candy canes and snowball fights,
Christmas trees and Christmas lights.
A great big family dinner,
Sibling competition, and yelling out, “I am the winner!”

I am from my friends , good and bad,
The ones who make me laugh,
And the ones who make me mad.
With their funny jokes and silly games,
Their very common and different names.

I am not from being boy crazy,
I’m from being boy insane!
Their voices and their faces
Getting stuck in my brain.

I am from people who are accepting of everything I do,
Who don’t listen to the lies,
But to everything that’s true.
I’m from people who tell me who to be,
But most importantly, I am from being just me.

Susie answers:

I did enjoy this poem. It’s one of the few that I actually read on here lol. I too am a poet, and this poem could be great with a little bit of cleaning up, like getting your syllable count right.

I do it all the time, find poems I wrote a while back and clean them up. Like I said, this could be a very good, original piece of work. It already has all the ground work done, and already very organized. Keep it up (:

Donald asks…

George asks…

A poem for my best friend?

I wrote a poem for my best friend for christmas, and I want to make sure it isn’t too crappy.

——————————————————————————–

You are my best friend,
my “pretty airplane”,
my s’mores buddy,
my partner in
matching mismatched socks.

So this is me thanking you,
for being my
Best Friend for Life!

We aren’t sisters by blood,
nor law,
and yet I still feel,
that same feeling of kin,
and I think we are,
Sisters by choice.

You can’t choose your family,
you can’t chose your face,
but you can chose the friends,
the ones who fill your heart’s space.

So I make a promise,
to stand by your side,
maintain some perspective,
and not run and hide.

You are not my friend,
that term is not enough,
you are my sister,
of real cool stuff.

We are both strange things,
you, with ‘Fast Food’ in your hair,
me with my horses,
‘Harry Potter’, say no more,
we are full of weird things,
but that makes us, us!

So let us stand together,
sisters by choice,
best friends to the end,
and never forget,

That we have done some crazy things,
(some stupid, I’ll add)
but when we are old women,
we’ll sit and we’ll laugh;

“Pretty airplanes!”
“And candy cane socks!”

——————————————————————————–

pretty airplane – stupid thing we used to do where i would run around carrying her and she’d yell “imma pretty airplane!”
socks- we buy similar pairs of socks and switch one. half my socks don’t match.
Fast food – hair product she lives by
Harry Potter – we have quote wars over this, don’t get me started.

——————————————————————————–

anyway, what do you think? is it too terrible to give to my BFFL of 5 years? I worked hard on it, and I’m not poetically talented.

Susie answers:

Wow. That is so sweet(: it’s a really good poem and I’m SURE your best friend will really appreciate it and love t!(:

Charles asks…

Do you like my poem??? PLEASE HELP?!?!?

WINTER

I see white little snowflakes falling gently to the ground.
I see many kids playing joyfully in the snow.
I see enchanting lights hanging everywhere.
I see beautiful Christmas trees in the windows of other people’s houses and stores.

I hear kids laughing gleefully as they play in the snow.
I hear people humming Christmas carols as I walk around the neighbourhood.
I hear people laughing as Christmas is coming closer.
I hear the bells ringing from Santa’s sleigh from the back of my mind.

I feel cold shivers going down my spine.
I feel the soft warmness of my new winter coat.
I feel
I feel everyone’s happiness in the air as a brand new year is coming.

I smell the turkey roasting slowly in the oven.
I smell the freshness of the pine needles falling off from the Christmas tree.
I smell the roaring fire burning slowly in the fireplace.
I smell the gingerbread baking in the oven.

I taste the spiciness of the freshly baked gingerbread.
I taste the warm sweetness of the hot chocolate as it dribbles down my throat slowly.
I taste the minty flavour of my candy cane as it melts in my mouth.
I taste everyone’s happiness in my food as this is everyone’s favourite season.

Please tell me what you think of my poem. Change some sentences if you have any ideas. The poem is suppose to be descriptive. Feel free to do as many changes as you want. As you can see, it is about the 5 senses. Thank you soo much in advance!!!

P.S.— remember, feel free to make changes to the poem

Susie answers:

Cute :)

Your Questions About Easter Candy Ideas


Sharon asks…

Easter Basket Ideas for a 1 1/2 year old boy?

I need some ideas for an easter basket for my son.

Also is there any kind of chocolate or candy ment for toddlers? Like low suger, no artificial sweetners, anything organic or whatever.

Last year for his first easter, I just got him a huge stuffed animal and a bunch of toys since he was only 7 months.

This year Im stumped on what to get for him.

Any Ideas Would Help!!!!

Susie answers:

Since its the begging of spring we do the out side toys. This year our one year old will be getting a big tonka truck, chalk (We give each kid a different kind of chalk, he will be getting some with a chalk holder to make it easier on his hands) Bubbles (They make cute bubble blowers that just blow bubbles) and some new sandals. We put socks in the plastic easter eggs (Once they get older they love finding them! My two year old remembers from last year!) As far as candy for little ones go most of it is stuff I can eat lol…. And we do sugar free chocolate for our youngest, but we also let them splurge on the candy and chocolate for the week and toss it anything left away (Same with halloween candy) Safety pops are good and the right size for them. But you don’t really have to put in candy. How about animal crackers or even a box of jello and an egg cookie cutter, so you guys can make jiggers. Or maybe you could make cookies! Happy PreEaaster!

Charles asks…

What are some good easter basket ideas or easter egg ideas?

that dont involve candy

Susie answers:

I usually put just a few types of candy in my daughter’s basket (only her very favorite things), and fill the bulk of it with a new Spring outfit, a small stuffed animal, stickers, books, magic markers, and other similar things.

If it’s for an adult, maybe a CD, a gift card, fresh fruit, and some bath products.

Jenny asks…

Easter Basket ideas for Father?

Im wanting to make my dad a easter basket this year,Im wanting to get a big colorful basket..i know i want to put a thing of coffee in there (he is not a candy eater!) any other ideas?

Susie answers:

I know it might sound dumb, but my dad was the go-to guy when I needed batteries or a hang-nail taken care of. Men like useful stuff, so a manly nail clipping set or a variety pack of batteries might be OK.

(by manly, I mean non-girly)

Thomas asks…

Ideas for a fow fat/calorie easter basket?

Do have any ideas for candy to put in a basket for someone who’s watching their weight?

Susie answers:

Pure chocolate, in and of itself, actually has very few calories. Look for some brands made without milk and made with artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. Your friend can enjoy the sin without worrying about the guilt ;-)

Nancy asks…

I need ideas for the easter baskets?

I have an 11 month old daughter ( a year on may 8th) and I have a 28 month old daughter ( 29 months on easter Monday) what are some good ideas for the easter baskets…. no chocolate or candy please

Pacifiters bibs….age appropriate toys

Susie answers:

Okay so, in this room there should be a side room engulfed in fire. Quickly enter the room and pull the ring on a chain hanging from the back wall on the right side and get out. A cut scene will show a green orb, go get it. For spoilers sake I’ll stop there, happy hunting.

D & D based RPG games gives me a headache and makes me sleepy…
Only games for PC please…

Susie answers:

In Europe, “Two Worlds” – hitting North American shelves mid August – is already out. It appears that many of the more critizized aspects (game balance) were fixed in patch 1.4.

Not much of an RPG at the start (you can’t even name your character and get the same base attrbutes and skills every time you start the single player campaign), but pretty big, pretty open world.

Hack’n'slash, however, is what the game does well, particularly if yoou dig melee.

Ruth asks…

i cant find the save files in divinity 2 plz help?

i dont know where divinity‘s save files r located mostly u can find save files of games in my documents but in this game its not there

Your Questions About Chocolate Candy Recipes


James asks…

Candy recipes? Does anyone have a recipe for a bark candy made with white chocolate and peppermint chips?

Also looking for a recipe for “Score” chocolate bar and some good fudge recipes. Thanks!

Susie answers:

Melt the white bark and mix in the crushed pepermint candy
Put in a waxpaper lined baking sheet and stick in the fridge for 10 minutes then break into pieces

Paul asks…

Is the sweetened chocolate referred to in recipes, the same as chocolate candy bars?

Can you just break up a chocolate bar and use that?

Susie answers:

No, candy bars have too much artificial ingredients and parafin. You want to get a good baking choc.

Sandra asks…

How can I sub chocolate candy bars for cocoa powder in recipes for cake/cookies?

My question originally got deleted?! Before I could write down the answer, and I’d appreciate anyone answering this for me again?

I’d like to use Candy bars (regular eating kind), in place of expensive cocoa powder used in many recipes. How do I do this?

Thanks

Susie answers:

Start with your butter but use a little less…melt your chocolate, and then cool it down…add to butter then sugar and blend and the rest of your ingredients you will have to add a wee bit more flour…but if you play with it enough you can perfect it.

William asks…

WHat are some homemade candy(chocolate) recipes?

Susie answers:

Melt chocolate and dip plastic spoons into the chocolate, make sure the dip of the spoon is full of chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with, chopped peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, coconut, etc. Leave them to dry on parchment paper and when they’re dry wrap them in cellophane with a ribbon to seal them.

Susan asks…

Anyone have the best chocolate candy recipe in the world that can be made without a candy thermometer?

Susie answers:

Truffles…the easiest and most delicious chocolate candy:

Bring 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to a simmer. Pour it over a pound of chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Cover the mixture and let it cool at room temp. For a few hours (or in the fridge for about 30 min). When the mixture stiffens, scoop out bite-size pieces with a spoon or mini ice cream scoop and roll them into balls. Then roll the balls in chopped nuts, cocoa powder, or confectioner’s sugar.

This is the basic recipe, but you can flavor it a lot of ways by adding flavors to the hot cream (vanilla, grand marnier, liquors, almond extract, etc.).

Your Questions About Dark Chocolate Candy Bars


Maria asks…

Could I be allergic to chocolate?

I used to eat chocolate all the time when I was little but a few months ago my dad brought home an organic dark chocolate candy bar. I ate it and a few hours later I felt dizzy and was having trouble breathing. My parents said it was a reaction to cocoa or something like that. The same thing happens everytime I eat chocolate now. Yesterday I did something really stupid. I forgot about the reaction and ate a little dark chocolate brownie batter, half a hershey bar and a dark chocolate brownie, 5 hours after that I had a reaction. It just feels like I have to keep taking deep breaths. Its really annoying. I’m making an appointment for the doctor today but I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas? Could it be the chocolate or could having the chocolate on the same be be a coincidence?

Susie answers:

Did you break out in hives, like a full blown reaction or just the problems breathing? Maybe it is a mild allergy. Yet the problems breathing are usually associated with the inflammation, the same inflammation that causes the hives.

A few times I have reactions to things, just out of the blue.
Once was some white chocolate, once to a fire ant and once to some air freshener. Oddly though I have been allergy tested and did not come up with any type of allergies.
I do think that when the body is stressed due to sickness or just general stress it reacts differently to things sometimes.

Your doctor may advise just to take a Benadryll prior to eating chocolate.
Whats odd about my case is each time I have had to go to the ER they tell me to get one of those Epi-Pens yet the doctor wont give me one cause I have no allergies on file. Yet I get sporadic allergies and major reactions.

Richard asks…

Dark chocolate, semi-sweet, or milk?

If you were just to sit down and eat a plain chocolate candy bar, which flavor above would you prefer?

Susie answers:

Milk, even though dark chocolate is good sprinkled on things that you sprinkle chocolate on, dark and semi-sweet have that bitter edge (that’s what lets me know it’s GOOD for me!) I really like milk chocolate, like a Symphony Bar would be great right now, with toffee bits and almonds, or even just some Whoppers… ^&%$#* Tockers, you’re blowing my DIET, hyeah!

Your Questions About Local Candy


Nancy asks…

Is cannabis hemp candy sold in Amsterdam worldwide legal?

My friend is going to send me a parcel and she wants to mail me some cannabis candy. I have never tried it before and it was sold at the local souvenir store. I know this kind of candy won’t get you high or something, but is it legal to mail it? We are just not sure if the candy contains thc .

Susie answers:

If it contains Marijuana:
If it does not contain THC it is not special enough to warant sending round the world, if it does contain it, it is illegal all over the world.

He can ask in the shop where he buys it, but even if it does not contain THC it can be stopped and confiscated at the customs check on the mail.
Your risk.

If it does not contain marijuna but is only in the shape of weed it can be safely send.

I bought 17 Vend star 3000 candy vending machines for a great deal. Now I need to know how to get them into the local business. Is it best to go in person or call. What is a good sales line to get them excited about having my machines in there business?

Susie answers:

Phone call to identify correct person, followed by Postcard, then Sales letter, followed by phone call, followed by visit. It is called a marketing campaign.

Small business just show up, give out some samples.

Ask yourself why they would want you there?

Profit?
Keeping employees on site?
Feel good about sharing profits with charity?

I think candy without drinks might be hard in some places.

Mandy asks…

Stumped on what type of cotton candy machine we should get?

Our local soccer league is looking into getting a commercial size cotton candy machine. Any suggestions on what brand, size, or model?

Susie answers:

Would think if they are interested in getting one than must have had one or rented one before and would already have an idea as to what to get. Try reading the Consumer’s Report since they test out many items and do write ups on them. Also stop at a local carnival or cirus or store where they have the machine and ask them questions.

Donald asks…

What do you need to start up a candy store?

I want to open a candy store that sells imported candy , and the regular every day nick nack candy , I want to sell soda ‘s and floats, and all sorts of sweets but I do not know what I need. where do I start? what cert or lic. do I need …. some one please help!!!!!!!

Susie answers:

1. Choose location.
2. Get a lease on the space.
3. Acquire merchandise.
4. Advertise.
5. Local city business license.
6. State Seller’s Permit.

Setting up a physical retail store is a huge undertaking. You are also competing with huge retail merchants like Wal-Mart and Target.

There is so much to go over, I could write a book on it. Others have, so I’d read up first.

How do you delete candy from the candy store application on facebook?

Please help!
i added the candy store application on facebook..and i want to know how to delete the candy i dont want…

Susie answers:

My only suggestion would be to check out the “wall-to-wall” between you and the person who gave it to you. If you can’t get rid of it there, you wont be able to get rid of it at all

Mandy asks…

How do i go about opening a Candy store in my House?

i Have a nice Clean Big house and just looking to make some money on the side and thought about opening a candy store in my house for the neighbors etc. how can i go about doing this?

Susie answers:

You probably can’t – local zoning will probably not allow you to run a business in a residential neighborhood

to find out for sure, call your towns business license department and give them your address and ask if zoning allows a business to be run out of your house – I highly doubt it would be allowed

if by some miracle it is allowed, you will have to get a local business license and pay gross receipts taxes and you’ll have to get a state sales tax license and charge, collect and send in sales taxes along with a sales tax return every month or quarter and you’ll have to be able to calculate revenue, expenses and profits and pay income taxes at the state and federal levels

Your Questions About Hard Candy Cases


Donald asks…

Expensive Shipping Hard Candy.com and Sephora?

Expensive Shipping Hard Candy.com and Sephora?
The Hard Candy products I wanted from Sephora are sold out, but they still have some on Hardcandy.com. On the other hand, I still want to get a Marc Jacobs case that’s exclusively on sephora.com. Is there a way to combine shopping carts through one site? Or any way I can avoid paying an extra separate 11 dollars for shipping?
Actually it’s $50 now. . .thanks but I was already aware of that. and it doesn’t help my situation

Susie answers:

Hmm, No, you can’t do it.
You have a couple options…
Wait until your Hard Candy stuff is back in stock…
Get some other brand of makeup instead: Sephora has TONS of quality makeup, so maybe you can substitute.
Or pay for both shipping charges.

Donna asks…

Making Hard Candy…?

I am going to attempt making hard candy. The kind that you make on the cookie sheet, freeze and then crack.

I found LorAnn Gourmet Flavor at the local store. This is a link to what I got

https://www.lorannoils.com/p-8695-watermelon-flavor.aspx

Is this a good brand? If not, is there something better that I should use? Would I be able to find it locally, or need to order?

Next, I am reading that it makes a difference if you use extract or oil. Is this flavoring an extract or oil, and what difference exactly does this make?

Also, and this may be a stupid question… I know when making things like fudge the humidity makes a difference. Is that the case here?
Additionally… Everyone I have ever seen make it puts it in the freezer to cool. The recipe is saying not to cool in fridge, but to let cool in the open.

What is the difference here?

Susie answers:

I have a candy making book, for old fashioned candy of all kinds. They all say to use oil and not extract. I do not know what the difference is but I do what they say and my candy comes out very very good. I even make my own cough drops. Make candy on a clear cool day when humidity is low. What you really need to do is have a good candy thermometer.Test it for accuracy often by putting it in a pan of water and slowly bringing it to a boil . The thermometer should register 212F when the water starts to boil. Keep the thermometer clean, by washing after every use. Use moderate heat, always bring candy liquid to a boil slowly. Use a lid to prevent crystallizing.
Hope this helps.

Sharon asks…

Question about the ending of Hard Candy?

I’ve been meaning to ask this for months now…

This may be a very obvious answer, but at the very end of the movie, does Jeff actually die? I keep thinking that the rope looked like it was way too long to hang a man from a one story house, and that when he jumped, he hit the bottom.

There’s definitely a thud, but I can’t figure out if it’s from him hitting the -side- of the chimney when the rope tightens, or the -bottom-.

And I think Page’s character is just twisted enough to do something like that–making him accept and face his death, only to let him live after all. And then there’s the “Or not” line–her last line.

Anyway, I’ve presented my case. Now, do you think he lives, dies, or is -definitely-, undoubtedly dead?
Lol, Kyle. Yeah–I watched the movie with a couple of guys. They actually ended up rooting for the pedophile as a result of that scene.

–and that’s sort of what I’m talking about. Hayley siked him out about ‘neutering’ him, so isn’t it possible that she did the same on the Chimney. It seems her main (and pretty much only tactic) is Psychological torture.

Susie answers:

I think he’s dead… Since his friend also died, it makes sense that he dies as well.

But your point of view really casts some doubt :P because I just assumed jeff was deader than dead. Try to ask that on IMDb, there are people with some clever answers there

Robert asks…

Whatever happened to the confectionery whole sections of department stores?

Like Sears even had a squared in counter place with candy sold by the pound displayed in cases similar to jewelry displays. All sorts of hard candy and chocolates were available.

Susie answers:

As time elapses things change, and the candy is considered a health risk to the public by the PC nit picking nuts

Your Questions About Russell Stover


Maria asks…

Good title for this article?

Ever heard the phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? Well, I’m about to show you just how much truth there is to that!

I’m asking you – that’s right, you – to name any random object. In my next article, I’ll show all the uses it can go to. For this week, I’ve chosen . . . *drumroll* . . . the candy wrapper!

Whether it’s Hershey’s, Russell Stover, or anything in between, there’s a use for it! Just make sure that the wrappers you want to use are clean.

Frame or Money?

All you need is an old picture frame, some glue, and all the candy wrappers you can find. First put a light coat of glue on the back of the candy wrapper. Then stick the candy wrapper on your frame. Any parts of the wrapper that go past the edge of should be folded over to the back. Make sure that nothing’s in the way of the area where you’ll put your picture! Repeat these steps until you’ve made the entire border, then hang up your finished piece for the world to see!

Colorful Collage

Grab some glue, a piece of cardboard (or some kind of thick paper), and those candy wrappers! Spread a little glue on the back of each wrapper, then press them onto the cardboard. You can use a theme or make it completely random. When you’re done, it’ll look good enough to eat!

Decoration Celebration

Here’s an extension of that last one – for those who want to take this to a new level! Make a collage of candy wrappers on an item. decorate an old shoebox, your notebooks, or anything else that has a smooth, hard surface. No, you cannot glue candy wrappers onto your friends’ foreheads. You also can’t glue them onto your sibling’s glasses, no matter how funny it is to watch the results. Stick with paper-like material, and check with your parent or guardian beforehand. If you really want to be thorough, buy contact paper from your local craft store and put it over the finished piece, so that the wrappers don’t peel off.

There you have it, folks! Next time, think twice before you throw something away. It might just come in handy. Please y-mail me with suggestions for next week’s object!

Off to eat a Mr. Goodbar,

Candy Wrappers Twice as Sweet the Second Time Around

Jenny asks…

When I was young I had this teddy bear, I lost it when I was about 9. any ideas on replacements?

It was a cream colored bear with the same sort of balls/beanies that beanie babies are filled with. it was however, not a beanie baby. it had 2 little black eyes and it was holding a red/white heart with a sort-of checkerish pattern. he wasn’t that big. I haven’t forgotten about it though it’s been many years. any ideas on where I can maybe look for replacements? I want the exact same bear, not something like it.

for some reason I think it was from russell stover but I’m not positive on that one.
I found a picture of it but there is no way to contact the person that took the picture. help me find this bear. please! http://images1.comstock.com/Imagewarehouse/RF/SITECS/NLWMCompingVersions/0013000/13500-13999/KS13536.JPG

** all of these are in there original boxes never been opened and boxes are in great condition.

I am asking for a good estimate on how much each of these are worth and where a good place to sell them is. Thank you

Susie answers:

Look on ebay. Type in exactly what you listed and search for the same ones you have. It will give you an idea of what other people with the same items are asking for theirs. It will also show you what people are actually paying for them as well. You can ask whatever amount you want for a collectible item, but it’s only worth what someone will pay for it. Ebay is a good way to sell things like this because you are advertising them all over the country or world (if you don’t mind worldwide shipping). Like your 1959 barbie, the highest someone is asking for that item on ebay is $49.95, the lowest is $14.95 with no bids. If you list yours for $10 you will probably sell it. Just an example. Hope this helps.

Your Questions About Candy Gifts For Kids


Richard asks…

Xmas Gifts for kids I babysit?

I babysit for three girls, ages: 3,7,11.
I’ve only babysat for them a few times, but their mom says that they absolutely love me, and can’t stop talking about me when I’m not babysitting. They bought me a small gift, a coffee cup filled with candy and a necklace. So, I thought about buying them a coloring book with crayons, which will be pretty cheap, and maybe hair barettes of Hello Kitty or something like that. Is that a good idea?

Susie answers:

Yes this sounds like a very nice idea as a gift for them.

David asks…

What kind of candy do they have in Hong Kong?

I’m travelling to Hong Kong and would like to take some western candy, to give to the kids for gifts. I would like them to get things they can’t get there. Does anyone know what kind of candy and chocolate they have there, and what they would like?

Susie answers:

White rabbit candy:
there are many flavors, red bean, milk which is regular
and all other chinese harbo plant flavors, there is a market in hk called hong kong market near Go Long
new year Gau Dong strawberry candy:
it is the right time to buy because on chinese new year, they sell them on discount with some gifts. This kind of candy has all red wrap papers with these two words written ??

There are so many kinds of candies that everyone might enjoy!

George asks…

How old should kids be when the Easter Bunny stops coming?

At our house, the Easter Bunny has always hidden baskets in the house with candy and some little gifts. When the kids wake up, they hunt for eggs with clues inside to lead them to the baskets. Then we go to church.

My kids are 13 and 15 now. They know there’s no Easter Bunny, but it’s become a tradition and they always look forward to it. But my husband thinks it’s stupid to keep pretending there’s an Easter Bunny. In fact, he’s totally against it. He thinks we should just hand them a piece of candy and say “Happy Easter.”

What do you think? Are our kids really too old, or is my husband just a big party-pooper?

Susie answers:

He’s a PARTY POOPER!

My kids are 15 & 13 too and they of course know the truth, they have for about 5 years now but we still do the Easter Hunt. It’s tradition. My siblings and I all meet at my mothers house and all her Grands do the hunt together.

There are some years that we just don’t feel like it, or money is tight and we think it’d be really easy to call it off, or only do it for the little kids, but the little kids need to see the excitement on the older kids faces to have fun so we still do the whole thing like we always did.

The baby of the family is 4 and the oldest is 15 so we’ve been doing hunts for a long time, and still have at least 6 years to go before the baby starts getting tired of them. By then, there could be MORE babies…who knows.

Never stop the hunt. We’ll be doing them until we’re 80 at this rate. Lol

John asks…

For my kids carnival b-day how do i make sure that every kid gets a gift even if they didn’t do good w/games?

I am hosting a carnival b-day party for my two nine year-olds and we will be giving out tickets to play the games. Should I give out candy instead of tickets when they when at a game booth and then every kid gets a prize at the end? i am kinda stuck because the games i got from someone say you could when 50 or 20 tickets and so on, but if i give out tickets when they win then at the end some kids may not get any good gifts. but if i give out candy, then kids might be disappointed because the game says they won 50 tickets!

Susie answers:

You could buy a variety of different prizes from the dollar store, or how ever much you want to spend on prizes. Wrap them all up in wrapping paper, so the kids don’t know what’s inside. Whenever they win a game, they get to choose a wrapped gift for their prize, or at the end of the carnival, everyone who hasn’t won a prize gets to choose a gift from the table too.

Candy bars make great prizes too, that would be fine, kids love that. You could have the prize/gifts set out so they can buy them with their tickets, so the kids who won more get to buy more, but just look around and (unless you are having 50 kids come to this party) it should be easy to see who isn’t winning any and let them pick out a prize from the table too. You could put someone in charge of keeping track of the prizes won.

I know when I go to a baby shower or a bridal shower where they have games and a few people win gifts, I think it’s great when I win, and fine when I don’t, I’m always happy to see that someone won something.

You should let them win a prize for winning the game, this teaches them that not everybody wins everything all the time in life.

Paul asks…

Your Questions About Caramel Candy Calories


George asks…

Ate a lottttt of candy today! HELP!?

Ok so I usually eat really healthy (or barely eat at all).
My calorie intake is anywhere from 600-900 ( i know its unhealthy)

Food wise all I had was a bowl of Golden Grahams Cereal, french fries, and a mini piece of white pizza. Maybe alltogether that was 500 calories. And I had a lot of candy from Valentines day (mainly caramels and chocolates)

For dinner I’m having veggie tacos with a small serving of rice which actually IS healthy.

So will I gain any weight?

I’m 5’7 and a half and weigh 111.
I’m 15 years old.

Susie answers:

Your 15…. Dont worry about food. Seriously. Sounds like u have a good metabolism. So u have nothing to worry about:]

Chris asks…

Is it possible to have a heart attack at 22?

I feel like IM going into a heart attack….

I basically ate around 4000 calories 2 day…
the list is too long but it basically consists of chips, candy, a whole pizza, 2 caramel frappaccinos, 2 chicken sandwichs, 2 large fries..

I have shortness of breath now…and my head hurts..help…..NO im not obese 5’11/150..help
I think im gonna go to the hospital…IM getting scared

Susie answers:

It’s possible.
But it would be very rare for it to occur from one day of binge eating.

Honestly it could be gas or your stomache could feel so full that it is pushing up onto your heart. Both will make your heart palpatate and feel like a heart attack.
Heart palpatations can also lead to anxiety or sweating, etc…which only makes the problem seem worse.

If you feel you want to go to the hospital than you should. I always say better safe than sorry.

Best Wishes.

Post tomorrow and let us know how you are please, or email.

Richard asks…

what would have caused me to get lightheaded?

i’m 15, 5 foot 8, 126 lbs, if any of that matters.
i got about 3 hours of sleep last night (again, not sure if any of this matters, but i figure i should give a summary of my day).
then i had a NOS energy drink (tisk, tisk, i know, but i rarely have them).

for lunch, i put a pizza in the oven and had about half of it or a little more (a smaller-sized pizza. about 930 calories for the whole thing).
later on, i got my blood sugar checked by a finger prick, which doesn’t really bother me. my blood sugar was 77 i believe. and i took a urine test, which i “passed”.

but suddenly, i felt extremely lightheaded and dizzy. i could barely see. i got a numb sort of sensation. this had never happened to me. it lasted maybe 3 minutes.

then i sat down, had a small caramel candy (i thought maybe it would help?) and a bottled water, and i felt fine after a minute or two.

what might have caused this?

Susie answers:

I would have to say the NOS did it. There are so many different herbs and chemicals that maybe you had some sort of reaction. If you are diabetic (which it sounds like if you are checking your blood sugar), having the energy drink is NOT something that will ever help.

Thomas asks…

Sandra asks…

Why did parents in the olden days feed their children junk food?

Moms cooked cakes, pies, brownies and cookies most days and piled all that fat and sugar into their children’s bodies.

Children were fed ice cream, burgers and coca cola at summer.

At the drive in/movie theatre children were fed buttered popcorn, hot dogs, candy bars, nachos and soft drinks.

At the fair/circus children were fed cotton candy, caramel apples, funnel cakes, donuts and other JUNK!

ugh all that salt, sugar and FAT!

Also mothers cooked food in lard and tallow, and gave their children a lot of pork, red meat, white bread spread with real butter and lots milk; ugh all that FAT and EMPTY CALORIES!

I wish I could FORCE people to eat healthily like me; my diet consists of steamed celery, muesli and cocos.

Susie answers:

In the olden days people didn’t know about saturated fats and high cholesterol. It wasnt there fault but they were so naive then.
