Yesterday I bought a bag of Brach's Christmas Nougats. They're like Cadbury Cream Eggs in that they are only available for a month before Christmas each year. I thought I could bring them home and just have one or two occasionally, the way I have an ounce of chocolate every day or two. I found out the hard way that they may just be my favorite candy ever. How could I have forgotten that? I ate 15 nonstop yesterday and another 10 before breakfast today. I was meeting a friend for shopping, so I bagged the rest and passed them on to him to take back to his office after lunch. There are some things I just can't have in the house. Apparently, Christmas Nougats are one of those.

Those are the ones! I couldn't stop putting them in my mouth. LOL. I love the caramels too. I don't buy those either, but I do think I could just have one or two of the caramels. Not the nougats. I'm fond of peppermint, but those go beyond fond. They are Christmas magic. :-) They are also gone!

Oh those are the best. I can't even go by them in the store. Good job
on taking them else where. Have a great day. Bren

I do the same thing with Turtles Chocolates. I figured I could do with one or 2 like I do with normal chocolate but no I learned the hard way that they cannot be in my house. I gave them to my brother who hid the box from me and ate them himself lol

I ADORE Turtles! I haven't bought them in years. I had my first one when my dad was a student at Purdue. I was 6 or 7 years old. Yes, I think that one might be as bad as the nougats. I wouldn't even want to try. LOL.

lol I have loved them ever since I can remember, and I figured I could portion them out, but my love for them won... and at 90 calories a piece, I figure its safer to just adore them from afar.

It's really hard to lose weight during the holidays. Too many yummy temptations

There really are. I just have to remember not to bring them home. :-)

Oh, Jo, there are so many things that I love...fudge, cookies, cinnamon discs, christmas noughat, chocolate covered cherries (omg I LOVE those things)....the list goes on and on, and so I didn't buy any this year and am waiting until right before Christmas to make up the goodies to give away! That way even if I am tempted, I will only have a few days that I have to resist the siren's call!

I thought I had tried every delicious thing -- but apparently not these nougats. Dare I even try one? lol Cadbury eggs however -- one of my worst candy weaknesses. And I love chocolate covered cherries too, but thank goodness you can buy CCCs one at a time -- like Andes mints. If I have a hankering for CCCs, I will buy just one and not the whole box!

If you like peppermint, even a little, don't buy them. I only like peppermint A LITTLE and these are like drugs. If they are around, I can't quit popping them. I do love chocolate covered cherries (the Cellas are my favorites, with the clear liquid) AND Andes mints AND Turtles AND Cadbury Cream Eggs, but I can resist them and only eat one at a time. The Nougats . . . no way!
