7/12 That would be fun to figure out your candy type. I like Reese's, sweet exterior...savory & nutty on the inside.
Milky Way, all the way!
6/12=half...so I'm gonna bite into 1/2 the chocolates in that box just 'to see' what's inside.

I'll say I'm a Fannie May "Turtle"----mostly sweet & a lil nutty & salty & (wait for it...) a softy on the inside 😄😄😄💝
