Candy or sweets Was thinking last night that alot of people have a sweet tooth in this world. To me, candy would be a great barter item to either be able to make or have on hand. Hard tack, chocolate or cocoa powder, etc. I am not sure on the long term storage of finished candy so maybe making to order so to speak might be best?? Any thoughts?

Re: Candy or sweets I don't know the shelf life of chocolate, but honey never spoils.

Re: Candy or sweets Good quick read on honey. Honey can also help with hunger pangs and is rather weight efficient, when considering honey's potency as a sweetener, med, and it's lack of spoilage. Though, I wouldn't use a glass container for your BOB. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...3172726AA3svMn

Grandma's had the same damn bowl of hard candies on display for 30 years, and its not moldy yet. just gotta break off a piece from the bottom so it's not dusty and try not to break off a piece of tooth when you eat it!:D

Re: Candy or sweets I've put back a bit of hard candy. Good diversion or reward for the kids when the SHTF. They will need a all the comfort they can when things go bad- Candy is an easy thing that you can do for them.

HAHA...I had the same thoughts in my head. The 3 year old candy canes or jolly ranchers. They are starting to melt and stick to the wrapper type stuff...HAHA. All kidding aside I know while not good for you, some people get jacked all out of wack without a little fix of chocolate like people do with smokes. I was thinking if you could long term store it in powder form or somehow vacuum seal it, it might make a great barter food item. Maybe do the same with hard candy/gum. Otherwise store what it would take to make it then batch it out for trading.

Re: Candy or sweets It's worth the effort to arrange some garden room for sugar beets. Very easy to grow, I'm told.

Re: Candy or sweets Salesman: Gee Ms. Smith, I've sat here and eaten this whole bowl of peanuts while we talked about your order. Granny Smith: Oh, that's ok Sonny boy, ever since I had my teeth took out, I cain't do nothing but suck the chocolate off'n em. :D

Re: Candy or sweets White sugar never goes bad, and when sugar is dear, rock candy will be a big seller again.
