Ok, we would have pillow cases full. My sister and I would dump it out on the floor and kinda section in piles wich ones we could trade from. The good stuff was in the safe pile. I remember wanting to get rid of my tootsie rolls, candy corns or cheapy suckers...lol. Chocolate was always a score. xoxo p.s. Love your selection!

Oct. 27, 2009 at 11:19 a.m. KittyCityCreations

I'd swap Smarties with anything chocolate! And I'd usually end up still having some candy left over months later! I would hide my stash in my closet so my big bro wouldn't steal it. :-)

We would swap anything with each other, and then steal it back plus interest at every chance until it was all gone. Twizzlers and KitKats were always fought over.

Oct. 27, 2009 at 2:07 p.m. DalkullanJewelry

Hi Vanessa! When I was a kid I would swap anything without chocolate for anything with chocolate. I still feel the same way about it. Definitely those mini assorted chocolate bars, Mr. Goodbar, Hershey Bars, any chocolately goodness would get my attention.
How about you?

Oct. 27, 2009 at 2:26 p.m. felicitycrew

Sugar - exactly what I need right now :)

Yep, this post is what I'm into and it made me vote!

Candy (or lollies here in 'Down Under' Australia) is an essential item in my studio! My biggest problem is trying to keep my kids (and my sister who we call the 'The Sugar Hoover' from eating all the good ones.

Off to lighten my stash!!

Oct. 27, 2009 at 7:13 p.m. lisaroy

Wow that was tough to narrow it down to just one but I did. Love these contests!

I never liked malted milk balls -still don't. My all time favorite is black licorice but no one gives that out for Halloween so I'd trade for Three Musketeers or Milky Ways.

Oct. 27, 2009 at 10:01 p.m. ToScarboroughFair

One of lifes greatest joys, a very very very good caramel!

Nov. 2, 2009 at 2:44 a.m. crochetgal

One of my favourite sweets was Smarties.. similar to the American M&M's but with a rich dark chocolate. Candy necklaces were always a favourite, along with ZabbaDabba and BB Bats! Do they even make those any more?

I'd trade away my Pixie Stix, anything licorice and a few chocolates!

Nov. 2, 2009 at 11:16 a.m. fantasybeader

Thank you Etsy for letting me be a part of this :-) It was fun.
