Whether you’re a super sour fan or prefer ooey gooey chocolatey goodness, I think we can all agree candy rules. Eat it, and you’re instantly brought back to elementary school days when consuming sugar took up half our diet. Now that we’re older, we can still do that . . . except it’s more like 50% booze, 25 % candy and 25% real food.
