Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt: Candy

Posted on May 17, 2008 by Barbara Harper

Theme: Candy | Become a Photo Hunter

My latest candy acquisition is one I showed recently since my middle son’s girlfriend gave it to me for Mother’s Day, but it fits and it’s cute, so I am showing it again. 🙂

She found it at Wal-Mart.

This is a 5 lb. bag of M&Ms.

It doesn’t look like 5 lbs., does it?

We used them to put into favors at our Ladies’ Luncheon last year. We also had some printed in words from the Bible that matched our theme (”The Heart of the Matter”) and coordinated with our theme colors (pink and chocolate brown):

You can see more interpretations of this week’s theme at TN Chick’s.

Now that’s an emergency kit every mom needs!!

A 5lb bag of M&M’s would not last in our house!!

Happy Saturday!

I love the emergency kit!!! what a wonderful idea.
Not having a sweet tooth doesn’t mean no temptations and savory things also have many, many calories 🙂
Love your pictures and choices for this week’s theme.
Happy weekend!

Great choices! 5lbs would become 4lbs then 3lbs in no time what with our sweet tooths! Have a great weekend

That emergency kit wouldn’t last long in my house. I always seem to be having a chocolate emergency.

Oh, I love that chocolate emergency kit. I’m not a bit chocolate eater, but I know and love several people who are. Hope you are having a sweet and delicious weekend, Barbara.

I love that emergency kit! I hope I can find one online for gifts. And no, that can’t be five pounds of M&Ms. I wonder how long it would take me to get through five pounds!

LOL! EACH of my girls got an “Emergency PMS Kit” in their Christmas stocking this year! IT was a very LARGE chocolate bar too! HOW did you manage to get a 5 lb. bag of M&Ms all brown? (or are they black? they do LOOK black!)
Barbara H. on May 18, 2008 at 8:52 pm said:

They’re brown — I ordered them from the M&M website along woth the ones with words on them. They don;t print words on the brown ones — too dark for the black “ink” and I guess they only use the white “ink” for the “M”. Someone told me they had seem the M&Ms printed with the names of the bride and groom at a wedding reception.
