The Dreamer's Pen

When it comes to candy, I’ve always had a special fondness for certain treats that offer a little more than just sweetness. I’m all about texture, nostalgia, and those unique flavors that you can’t quite find anywhere else. If I had to narrow down my favorites, I’d have to say it’s a tie between Haribo Gummies, Necco Wafers, Wine Gums, and Chowards Violet Mints.

Haribo Gummies: These little chewy delights are a childhood favorite that never gets old. The mix of fruit flavors and the perfect gummy texture makes them a go-to. They remind me of simpler times, and there’s something so comforting about that squishy, sugary bite. Plus, the variety in the pack is always a bonus, keeping my taste buds guessing!

Necco Wafers: There’s something timeless about Necco Wafers. They have that retro charm, evoking memories of days gone by. (Clove is my favorite flavor!)

The delicate crunch and the subtle, yet distinct, flavors make them a treat I never get tired of. There’s also a bit of a conversation starter when you offer someone one of these old-school candies— they either love them or hate them, and I love the sweet nostalgia they bring.

Wine Gums: I’ve always appreciated a candy that isn’t overly sweet but still packs a punch of flavor. Wine Gums are perfect for this. Their chewy texture, combined with flavors inspired by wine (without the alcohol), makes them a unique indulgence. Plus, the variety in flavors is so satisfying, making them a bit of a treat you can savor over time.

Chowards Violet Mints: These are truly one-of-a-kind. The delicate floral flavor of violets, combined with the refreshing mintiness, creates an unexpectedly sophisticated treat. I love how they provide a refreshing burst of flavor without being too overpowering. It’s the perfect blend of elegance and sweetness, and I always feel a little chic whenever I enjoy them.

But let’s be real—while I’m a fan of these distinctive candies, my true love lies in chocolate. Chocolate is my ultimate indulgence, whether it’s rich dark chocolate, smooth milk chocolate, or something with a touch of caramel or fruit. There’s just something about chocolate that feels luxurious, comforting, and satisfying all at once. It’s the candy that I crave when I’m looking for a treat that can really hit the spot. And let’s not forget how versatile it is—whether it’s in a bar, a truffle, or even a hot drink, chocolate is always my first choice when I want to indulge.

As someone who enjoys a bit of fashion flair, my candy preferences definitely reflect my taste for things that are classic yet distinctive. I gravitate towards treats that are a little bit unexpected but still carry a sense of nostalgia and elegance. Whether it’s the boldness of Haribo Gummies or the refined taste of Violet Mints, each candy represents a little piece of my personal style: timeless, with a touch of individuality.
