Red Hots, .8 oz - Click Here To Buy!

Growing up we didn’t have a lot of money so we always made our mom’s birthday gifts. She always said they were her favorite. Mom is a big candy fanatic so whenever we could, we would pull our change together and get her a nice big candy bar to go with her homemade gift. When Mom turned 40, I thought it would be great to combine the idea of making her gift and adding the candy to it.

I wrote this poem using the names of different candy on a big piece of poster board. Whenever I came to a word in the poem that included candy, I would actually tape that candy to the poster. I saw this idea once before for someone’s anniversary and thought with a little tweaking it would work for any occasion. Here is my poem. Feel free to modify it for yourself.

Happy Birthday to one Red Hot Mom that any little Sugar Babies would be grateful to have.

Things our Mom taught us:

•  You don’t need to have a big PayDay or live on 5 th avenue to make things fun.

•  That Rocky Roads can always be fixed with a Snap

•  It’s okay to move the Slow Pokes out of your way so you can take a Look .

•  Always remember your manners Now & Later

•  While New York can be fun, so can sitting at the table with the rest of the Kit Kats.

•  Being smart is okay, being a Smartie is not

So thanks Mom and Happy Birthday!
