Orange Peel Candy (51/365)

51/365

Have you ever had orange peel candy? We made it when I was in third grade at school and I remember thinking it was just the bees knees. I don’t know why I thought it was so amazing, but I did. Probably because we got to turn something so bitter and gross that we usually threw away into a delicious, sweet treat. Actually, that’s why I thought it was amazing. Because it’s candy. That’s pretty much the bottom line for me thinking something is great.

Anyways, I haven’t actually had orange peel candy since third grade but today I was in a random store and I saw it on the shelf. I figured it was as good a time as any to see if it stood up to the test of time. Well, twenty-one years later, I still think it’s pretty good. I don’t know if I still think it’s the greatest thing ever, but I still like it. Also I have giant container of it. I bet I will eat a bunch tomorrow and then get sick of it and leave it in our cupboard for 8 months until Andrew finds it and makes me eat it again. Not that that has happened before…
