The secret Easter Bunny loves candy...

This is the fourth part of the series of questions I asked the European Streetteam Participants on the Secret Easter Bunny swap.
The question this time was: what is your most favorite candy?
All of the participants are woman and I think that we can easily say that woman and chocolate are inseperable. No less then 27 participants claimed chocolate to be their absolute favorite.
It doesn't really matter in what form it comes but these are the ones mentioned and prefered most: mik chocolate, pure chocolate, M&M's, chocolate mousse,... Well, and there were two participants who also belong to the first group but were kind of specific on what kind of chocolate candy they like best. Since we all know who we are talking about here, I'm just going to spill their names: Kreativlink and Swiedebie are true Snicker addicts!
Four people love licorice, being it sweet or salty...
Three people claimed to be not a candy person. Do they exist? :)
Some more favorite candies:
  • Anything strawberry
  • Marshmellows
  • Bassetts winegums
  • Milk candies
  • Chewing gum
I had to look up two of them since I didn't know what they are:
Rum baba
A rum baba or baba au rhum is a small yeast cake saturated in liquor, usually rum, and sometimes filled with whipped cream or pastry cream.
Halva
Most types of halva are relatively dense confections that are sweetened with sugar or honey.
And since we do have a lot of people who came to live in Europe in our team, there were some specific candies that they seem to miss tremendously:
Dulce de leche
a typical Argentinian candy
Whittakkers peanut slabs
Typical New Zealand thing
Chocolate peanut butter reese's cups
it's an American thing

All Indonesian candy
And to make it complete, I just baked this. I found the recipe in FleurFatale's blog.
Hmm... it smells delicious!

    Luckily I am not much of a candy lover so this is no temptation for me, except for the winegums of course...

    They all look delicious, especially the Snickers! My favorite candy bar is a Midnight Mars bar. I can only find them at Target at halloween time and buy them by the bags! Then I hide them, so they are all mine.
