Candy Conundrum

I know for a fact that I could never eat an entire 1 pound brick of almond bark in one sitting. I'm sure my body would reject it after the first 10 bites.

I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to eat a 1 pound bag of party pretzel twists in one sitting either. Or maybe I could (if I had enough water to wash it all down) but I certainly wouldn't want to.

But for some unknown, and quite unsettling, reason I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with eating 2 pounds of almond bark coated party pretzel twists in one sitting.
*shudder*
Happy New Year !!!

    I just tell myself that a pound and half cooks off when you melt the bark. Right?

    Funny how physics don't play fair when it comes to over indulgent food?
    I think I ate two boxes of fiddle-faddle, a tray (not plate) of broccoli and carrots, almost half the pan of artichoke/spinich/shrimp/crab/butter dip, of and a third of the lasagne. That was only in the three hours I was at that party. But I did not inhale. Yeee-ah

    I'm so with you. We made these for neighbor gifts and I ate way too many. I love the whole sweet/salty combo.

    I agree with Steph - when you cook it, the calories are burned off. Just like when cooking with wine/liquor--the alcohol content goes down!! :)
