Candy is Not Just for Halloween

I have talked about playing with your food so why do we ignore the possibilities with candy?  How many of us have eaten trail mix which is usually some form of candy with nuts and dried fruit?

For years, my family would watch the Webster Groves 4th of July parade and hang out.  Without fail, my cousin would bring her M and M salad.  You guessed it.  It was simply a mix of peanut and regular M and M’s.  She is a genius!
​
As summer wanes, Big Guy and I get excited when we see the candy corn and the peanuts display at our local store.  Bring on the payday!  If you don’t get the reference, you only need to eat a Payday candy bar and then try the mix of candy corn and peanuts to realize this is an excellent hack.
I think we need to invent more fun candy dishes to make our gatherings memorable and sweeter!  Care to join me in the challenge?
