Make Sour Patch Cherries Part Of Your Valentines Day

By Dorothy Ross


When it comes to sweets that have their own unique appeal, a person can only live once. No thinking about diets or how a workout will fit in after straying from their normal eating habits. There are some desserts and snacks that are like that, and sour patch cherries are that simple treat that many cannot put down.

These are a combination of sweet, sour, and tangy in an intense berry flavor. While some may think of these as something for kids or teens, there are a lot of grownups ordering these by the dozens. One reason is, unlike chocolate, these have no fat and are low in calories. Parents and teachers of small children can also create a number of snacks for the little ones they love using these flavorful treats.

If one were to compare candy types, they may find that gummies, licorice, and maybe jelly beans are great choices for those trying to raise a healthy kid. While chocolate has some health benefits, this is normally found in dark chocolate, which can be bitter to some. While some sugar candy types, like those that pop in the mouth, may be low calorie, the sugar content makes them dangerous when consumed for a period of time.

For parents that like to give their small children sugary sweets as a reward, there is something to think about. Studies have linked white sugar to hormonal imbalances that occur during puberty. So it may be best to wean them away early so they do not become victims of excessive acne, weight gain, or painful menstrual cycles.

Most people who like gummy candies say that sour is in a class of their own. These do not taste like the rare black cherry that is found at premium candy retailers. If a person likes to have their lips pucker after one taste, this is something worth trying. Some people say that the pucker effect kind of kills that annoying sweet craving that many people get from time to time.

If a relationship has not yet reached that level and money is a little tight, there are some creative ways to express romantic feelings. Gift bags that contain red gummies, along with a number of trinkets like a mixtape CD that resonate with the recipient are sure to be a hit. Although a lot of money was not spent, the giver may find themselves getting a proposal if they hit the mark right.

These candies are also versatile for anyone who is considering a low calorie diet. As variety can be a challenge for dieters of any age, childhood obesity is the easiest to prevent when the parent or caretaker starts early. Low sugar sweets or dried fruit can make a nice topping for lowfat yogurt, sorbet, or nondairy treats.

Bosses can give these to their employees as a good communicator. Attach a simple or funny note of appreciation and this is sure to spread positive energy throughout most work environments. Busy bosses may want to keep their own stash for late nights or when they want a little treat for the long hours.
