Christmas candies are part of holiday festivities; unfortunately, candy adds inches to our waistlines.

It’s hard to resist the many wonderful varieties; we’re tempted to sample them all.

Mom made delicious chocolate and peanut butter fudge and the delectable seven layer bars. She always placed hard sugar candies in special dishes and used an heirloom Depression glass dish for ribbon candy.

M & M’s and Hershey Kisses in colors of the season are popular choices for all ages. You’ll want to keep candy canes on hand for all visiting children.

Don’t forget divinity, thin mints and peanut brittle; they make great gifts.

We satisfy our sugar cravings in a number of ways.

We have a deeper desire that God alone can satisfy.

“How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth (Psalm 119:103 NKJV).”

His word is sweet; it satisfies our longings and adds wisdom to the soul.
