a little spot of happy…
Sun Drops. Ever heard of ‘em? They are natural m & m’s. They are REAL chocolate, no corn syrup, and earth tones. That last point is a little stickler for me…growing up red food dye was poison and I wasn’t allowed to have it. Blue m & m’s hadn’t made the scene yet. So my little bag of “plain” had brown, tan, orange, yellow, and at some point, green. Earth tones. I still refuse to eat the “safe” red ones and the blue ones are just wrong. Ditto the rainbow of colors they’ve come out with since. Rainbows of colors are for skittles…duh. Anyway… back to Sun Drops. My food co-op sells them in bulk. They are WAAAAAAYYYY better than that mass produced version. They use cocoa that comes from sustainable ag farms sans the abuse being talked of at other chocolate companies’ farms in Africa (more on that in another post). They are made by Sunspire. Get ‘em. You’ll be as hooked as I am in at first bite.

I’m a traditionalist. I miss my tan M&Ms and I give the reds and blues to the kids.
