<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you open closets in your home and bags of bulk candy fall out from the top shelf?</span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have difficulty closing drawers in your home because of all of the candy wedged in the back?</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have a dedicated shelf in your pantry for candy products?</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you buy "extra" seasonal candy because you worry you won't be able to buy more until next year otherwise?</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: large;">... Then you just might be a CANDY HOARDER!</span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I bought five large bags of Candy Corn M&M's at Halloween and hid them so well that I can't even find them now<em> (this is keeping me up at night, seriously... I can't sleep when I think about it)</em></div>

I keep candy canes and Christmas candy in my pantry year round and get really upset if my better half even SUGGESTS getting rid of any of it ( I don't even eat it, just keeping it for<em> "inspiration")</em></div>

I think <em>(ok, I KNOW)</em> some of the candy in the pantry might be over 5 years old - but I'm keeping it for gingerbread houses that I never seem to get made each year.... that's ok right?</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, not all candy - but for some reason I really like the feeling of HARD CANDY sticking to my teeth</span>.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to candy I tend to go on Jags, one month it will be sours or gummies, the next caramel and Boston Baked Beans. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Currently I am seriously craving</span> <span style="font-size: large;">CINNAMON BALLS</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The old fashioned ones to be precise... as with all candy I am pretty specific about which ones are the best (the cheap bag of Cinnamon balls at the drug store just don't cut it).</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm talking about the pink and red Cinnamon ball, with or without sugar coating. That nice Cinnamon "burn" that you get from a sweet/spicy candy is the BEST.</span></div>
