I love this can you email it to me so I can steal this.
I love them all, maybe that is why I can relate to all of them.
3 Musketeers: At times I am a bit pompus
But with an Almond Joy I can be the life of the party.
Bit of Honey: I tend to get into those sticky situations.
Butterfinger is can be very evasive.
I have no use for candy corn it is made with car wax. Yuck
Good and Plenty tasts good but leaves a bitterness in my tummy.
Reeses Cups look good on the inside but peanut butter doesn't like me.
Snicker, I love to be the crowd favorite.
Twix is me as in a great mixture of things.
Twizzler is def. me because I am a bit twisted as well.
So i you put them all together I am:I am a bit pompus and evasive while being the life of the party. When I get into sticky situations I can get a bitter taste in my mouth. Combining a great mix things can tend to get a bit twisted, but after all I am a crowd pleaser.

Hey Zoe,
I am a Twix girl-outgoing & social. I do like candy corn too and I don't care what it is made out of. Did you ever have the candy pumpkins??? Oh my-what a sugar rush.
My hubs loves twizzlers--wait till I tell him that he REALLY is demented!! HA! HA!
Always something fun at your blog!
hugs to you today,
Kim
Zoe,
Thanks, I will copy it. You know you shouldn't tease us with the pictures of the candy. It is the time of the year that people go door to door asking for candy. How about going blog to blog asking for candy?
Diane
I am speaking tonight to a group and making bread. Maybe I will take a picture and tease you.
tee hee
Well, out of all the candy mentioned, I now understand why I love chocolate and peanut butter so much!!! I've always been a Reese's girl.
I did find it kind of interesting however, what was written about "Candy Corn". I can be tempted to enjoy some of those from time to time. Mmm....candy masquerading as corn...it does create a parallel to sometimes wearing "Christian camouflage" and not being entirely real - pretending to be something/someone I'm not.
Fun little exercise my freind. What candy personality were you?
Have a great day!
Joy
Well, since I just finished my third "fun size" Snickers, I am enjoying your sweet post. Snickers is my all time favorite, but I am definitely not a go with the flow kind of gal, so Twix would be my second choice (am I am all out of those. :)
Happy Birthday to your sister!
I love 3 Musketeers and Reeses!
Melissa
Zoe,
The funny thing is I need a new place to live. Got to your email and read my email to you.
Diane
Zoe, what fun candy descriptions. I like most of them, but I'm going to have to go with the only one that's close to being acceptable on the glycemic index -- the Snickers :)
Snickers without a doubt. And for the record, I don't think it's a "safe" choice, it's a subtly complex combination of flavors resulting in a complete whole.
Kind of like the way I would like to think I am!

I LOVE Reese's. My personality could also fall under a "twix". Gee, I hate to admit that I like twizlers...I'll never eat those again.
Reese's are definitely my favorite...have been forever. My mom used to put them in my stocking :-)
