I love my sweets! I love to make and eat them. One of my favorite sweets would have to be cotton candy. I also, like frozen yogurt with topping over flowing. Watermelon my not be what you thought of when thinking sweets but it does have natural sugar. I love me some dark chocolate know that I think of it, even though it may not be as sweet as much of a bitter taste. I think it would be fun to tell you a little history and why I like these sweets so much.

 Let's start off with cotton candy the sugariest thing there is. As far as I know cotton candy is really made out of all sugar. In 1899 4 men were able to make a mechanical cotton candy maker that then became a big hit in 1900. Before this machine was made people would have to warm the sugar to caramelize it and then with a fork start to make the string type substances.  I really like this sweet because it melts in your mouth from the time it touches it. Plus I feel like I can get and candy high off of it with all the sugar that I put in my body from eating it. I really like this sweet because it can give extra energy and its so cool when it melts in you mouth after being your mouth for 2 seconds.

When its a hot day the best thing to do is get a cup of frozen yogurt! I love when you go to a store to get it there are about 10 different flavors of yogurt. That you can put any toppings on it like chocolate or gummy bears. A little history about frozen yogurt is that the start of frozen yogurt was from Asia. Then when Marco Polo went to Asia he found out what the empire was eating and brought it back to Europe. Who then brought it to America who spiced it up with different flavors and things put with it. I love this frozen sweet because it can cool you down on a hot day.

This may come with a surprise when you think of sweets you really don't think of watermelon. I favor this because it doesn't damage you teeth as much with the sugars because there natural. I like to eat it in the summer when there in season and it can cool you down when the heat tries getting in your house. Did you know The oldest harvest record for watermelon is 5,000 years ago in Egypt. The watermelon is also made up of alot of water, exactly 92% of water. These are great with all of there juices.

I love me some dark chocolate. Its great any time and any were. I can have it on ice cream or melt it for fruits. I don't care if its a little bitter because I don't like super sweet things. This was a Native American drink that was drank in the B.C. Later the Spanish found it, they were impressed so, they brought it back to Spain. This was there drink for 100 years before the rest of the world found out the great taste of the drink. Not until 1689 were there other chocolate mad by adding milk to the drink. Just thinking about it makes me crave for some dark chocolate know.

 So some of these may not be what you expected but I love every one of these. With cotton candy I can get a sugar high with out a candy hang over. Frozen yogurt because it can cool me down when its a melting hot day. Or some watermelon that is sugary but still is healthy being that its mostly made up of water. Then i love dark chocolate and its got some cool history about it. I hope you enjoy some of the same things that I do. Talk to you later!
