My Favorite Candy...
My daughter has started back blogging and has new meme to get us to share our stories with family and friends. The old meme was Sharing a Slice of Life. This meme is Blue Raspberry Sundays follow along and even better join in.
Now, to the subject matter. My favorite candy is, chocolate covered cherries, especially Dark Chocolate covered cherries.
I am not sure my children remember the depth of my Hero's love for me regarding chocolate covered cherries.
When I was expecting my first child, I was a transplanted Okie. In Oklahoma, I had grown up getting the candy at any store. It was the most wonderful candy bar imaginable. It was called "Cherry Humps". I loved the taste, texture, and mmmm the cherry in the middle.
I would let it slowly dissolve in my mouth and slide down the esophagus. Yeah... I really loved that candy bar. Here I was expecting, and most desirous of having a Cherry Hump candy bar.
I was told it was too hot in Texas, so they only carried it in the winter. It was June! I was going to die without the candy my heart was set on. The Hero solved the dilemma by driving up to visit my parents. He was so sweet. He stocked up on the candy bar and even took me to get my other favorite a fresh squeezed Cherry Limeade from Braum's Ice Cream store. You can imagine how happy the Hero was when I found out that downtown Houston Walgreen's had the candy bar and made fresh squeezed Cherry Limeades.

It became a tradition that every Christmas, my dad bought a box of chocolate covered cherries for the family. I bought some for my mom last year. I don't eat candy very much any more, but if I find a box of chocolate covered cherries, it will probably find its way into my home.
This post was fun... Had forgotten I had not posted about this for a Hero story. Brought back some great memories. This candy bar is no longer produced. The last time I went to Oklahoma, I looked for something similar like the cello chocolate covered cherry but all they had was Cherry Mash, which I am not fond of.
