M&Ms candy The sweet smell of sugar seems to call me in the evenings. The lure of its deliciousness is hard to resist. When the temptation is too much to handle, I tip-toe into the kitchen , past the judgmental eyes of the photos hanging on the wall, and over the cracking sounds of the hardwood floors . The sight of those beautifully-rounded treats only increases the pounding of my heart and salivating in my mouth . “M” means mine; all mine! The taste of its succulent, melting goodness on my tongue causes all my senses to celebrate. Mmm & Mmm good!
