I don’t know, but I think Sugar Babies are an esoteric type
candy – they aren’t well known, or are they?
I don’t really care, because you know what? I really like them. (This picture is from my desk, enjoying a bag
of Sugar Babies at work). They are the offspring (hah! Pun intended) of Sugar Daddy, a caramel
lollipop. I am not a big fan of Sugar
Daddy, I don’t get the point of a caramel lollipop, but the little Sugar Babies
are different! Yes, they still are a
caramel of sorts, but they have a nice sugary coating over the caramel. I find them to be the best when they are
fresh, so stay away from the ones in a box and instead look for the ones in a
bag (they stay fresher in a bag, I swear!).
If you have never tried them, you should! They are definitely a refreshing change from
chocolate or jelly beans.
I think in my very first post I talked about taking out my
candy jar and filling it with candy for my grandchildren someday - well guess what? Since writing that very first post I am a
grandmother to two beautiful babies – Lucy and Ed. My very own Sugar Babies (as they are so
sweet!!). While they may be babies
today, I can’t wait to spoil them with sugary treats in the not to distant
future! I believe it is my duty as a
grandmother to spoil my grandbabies as much as possible and give them treats
they may not otherwise get at home! I am
so looking forward to the day when Lucy and Ed come over, go directly to the
hidden drawer of candy (shh, their parent’s won’t know about it) and delve into
something sugary, soft and sweet. Could
anything be more simple or sweet?
(Don’t worry kids, I promise not to introduce them to Coke
(duh, the beverage) until they are at least 6 or 7.)
