Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears

I have to pay a belated tribute to my sweet husband. For our anniversary back in February, J heard me say that one of the things I miss most about my college home town was the chocolate covered Cinnamon bears. So what should arrive by mail from in sister-in-law in a beautiful little BYU Bookstore bag the day before our sixth anniversary? A happy little one pound package of chocolate covered Cinnamon bears. This week I ate the last blessed one! I stretched it out to last all these glorious weeks, eating one or two here and there. Now and again I shared. But mostly I just savored them myself.

These yummy bears of goodness bring back great memories of studying late into the night at the food-banning Library and sneaking in my bag of non-drowsy bears tucked in the deep recesses of my backpack. I remember 1/4 lb bag-fulls taken to International Cinema to enjoy while I watch Chinese and Latin American movies for my humanities classes. Best of all I remember buying bags by the pound during the two-day pilgrimage my sisters and mother and I would make to BYU Women's Conference every Spring. Oh how we bonded over those bears. I think we get it from my mother. It must be in my blood.

Thanks, good husband, for the wonderful walk down memory lane!

I love chocolate covered cinimmon bears! Thankfully I never had money to buy anything at the book store so I never once bought anything at the candy counter. I discovered the tasty treats at the rocky mountain chocolate store (I think...the place that sells yummy apples) after I had moved away from Utah. I have only had them twice in my life...but I do love them!

Those are some of my FAVORITE treats! I missed them terribly when we lived back east.

Oh, chocolate covered gummy bears are my favorite things in the whole world. I like them frozen in the freezer, I like them melted in a hot car, I'll eat them out of my children's hands, I'll even lick the chocolate off their little fingers! So why haven't I had any in so long?? Time for a trip to the bookstore!
