Summer is officially here, and remember that candies can ‘sweat’ in the heat.
When they cool down, the cocoa butter solidifies outside M&M shells and although it alters the appearance, it doesn’t affect taste or freshness.
Feel free to keep me updated here so re-placement can be planned in time, thanks..!

There are candy vending machines that are solid metal, heavy, and colorful.
They can either vend gumballs, candies or toys, which vend in capsules so they can move easily thru the machines.
There’s no mistaking they are toys, mostly because the capsules will have bracelets, fuzzy toys, small spinners, or bouncy balls in them and are never mixed with candy so there’s no confusion.
Since I’ve moved away from vending machines over to honor boxes, I have a backlog of toys which virtually last forever, and although vending candies usually have an incredible shelf-life, they aren’t imperishable like toys are, so I’ll either be donating my remaining toys stock, tossing previous favorites, or will specify on the honor boxes that the items are either toys or candies.
Thanku for your patience.
For my dear mother in heaven, I wish you’d stuck around a little longer, okay, a lot longer.
Until I see u again, my thoughts are specifically with u this weekend.
I went bluebonnet hunting and was told they could be found at a nearby park.
I didn’t see them and will have to find out when and where they might be.
Although I didn’t find bluebonnets, I found some fun critters on a lovely walk.
For my Mama on Mother’s Day;
That’s it!
After that, it’s a matter of preferred flavoring, oils or lecithin for viscosity.
Of course, my beloved M&Ms will have their candy shells, peanuts, crisps, marshmallows, etc.
Chocolate is one of the many foods that has plant-protein only, and except for milk chocolate, it contains no animal proteins. Even pollination of the cacao plants can be done by birds, winds, or manual touch.
Don’t be fooled by imitators anywhere! The reliable original is best.
It was oddly satisfying to see this train go by.
There is a 20-minute video of this looooong train on a beautiful evening.
The video wouldn’t upload so I’ll try later.
It helped that I wasn’t in a hurry to be anywhere and it was so amazing because I realized I hadn’t seen a live train in years (?!)
Maybe it’s bringing those sweet-tarts that’s been so hard to find, or the red hots that were so popular…
Spring is here and u can see it when wildflowers started to bloom by roadways and in fields.
I’m not putting out my own flowers just yet because there is always one last gasp freeze right before summer when it’s least expected, never fails, every year, it’s just a matter of when.
Can last 3-5 days, then that’s it for the year.
In the meantime, the worst of the storms is over for the year, and a few places were hit hard, please feel free to support Becky’s Hope;
Happy Easter 🐣
Happy April Fool’s Day (?!?)
I made it thru April Fool’s Day, and hope all is okay with u!
I enjoy celebrating any and every holiday that I can, preferably with chocolate, except that April Fool’s Day isn’t technically a formal holiday, it’s on every calendar, but like many modern holidays, it’s a day for fun.
