Fun size candy bars

[hrh_disney_queen]

are just plain evil. They are deceptive because they are so cute and small, but I swear I eat a higher volume of them than I would if they were normal sized candy bars. There is just a little bit of shame unwrapping the second regular sized candy bar, but none when you are opening up the 4th or 5th fun size bar.

I wish I didn't LOVE chocolate so much!! Curse you Halloween!!

I have a friend who goes nuts buying these when they go on sale for Halloween.. She buys SO many bags she has enough in her freezer to get her through to the following Halloween..

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

Is her name hrh_disney_queen? Cuz I do that, although I usually don't bother with the freezer part.


This year I will freeze Snickers bars, though..

LOL This is part of why I love Reese's "fun size" so much, because they aren't really fun size, they are a regular size cup just wrapped as singles.....for some reason I can eat only 2 instead of opening that second bar or getting the king size package....LOL

omg... I would have to read this post just as I was munching on fun-size Butterfinger #3... LOL!!!

Fun sized Butterfingers will be the death of me. Seriously. I've probably eaten 8 today.

Glad I'm not the only one!

Actually, I find that these little bite size candy bars are great for my diet.

After a meal, if I really want something sweet, I'll just pop one of them into my mouth, and I'm pretty good. Once in a great while I'll eat a second, but normally one is enough.
We bought a big bag of mixed Hershey chocolates about 2 months ago at Costco, and I'm still working on them.

I can definitely see the temptation to wolf down a whole mess of them, but thankfully I've been able to be pretty disciplined about it.

I'm impressed!

They're like tortilla chips, it's impossible to eat just one! I can never finish a regular size candy bar, but I somehow manage to eat about 5 of the fun size. They are so deliciously evil!

I had to run to Target today to get some ground beef, and I purposely went in the non-grocery entrance to the store, and then walked clear around the back of the store to get to the meat counter so I didn't have to walk past the huge displays of candy. I had a bad feeling if I saw them, my grocery list would have went from:
1) ground beef
to:
1) m&ms
2) snickers
3) kit kats
4) reese's cups
5) 3 musketeers
... oh, yeah. and that ground beef.

LOL!

That is precisely why I don't buy my Halloween candy until the day before. I can't eat TOO much in just 24 hrs, lol.

As I eat a Dove Dark with my diet pepsi (my addiction), I am remembering a friend of mine that would buy the Reeces mini's in holiday wrappers only because they were so fresh. I tried this and OMG, that is the best Reeces ever.

When the doctor told me that I was only one step away from having diabetes, that did a lot to help my motivation.

I still have the urge to scarf down a whole bag of the things, but the desire to avoid diabetes helps me overcome it. So I've had to learn to be content with just one (well maybe not so much content as not really having that much of a choice in the matter).

we have 8, yes I said 8 bags of Sam's club sized fun size candy bars and non chocolate candy. Torture!!! All 8 are still sealed and not opened. My husband and I torture each other by holding up the other's favorite and dangling in front of that person saying "smell the chocolate, think about the carmel or peanut butter. Think how good it would taste after a long day of work"

All bets are off when the light goes out on Saturday and I'm sure y'all will be reading about us being sick from all the chocolate on Sunday
