Welcome. It's Blue Monday! Let's have some fun.
I hate to delete links, but when rules are not followed, I will.
So please, folks, put the Blue Monday link on your post before you link into Mr. Linky.
Double check the simple rules by clicking here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I keep a candy dish by my front door. Visitors are encouraged to help themselves. My grown children and grandchildren enjoy this long-standing tradition. If you squint, you'll see it currently contains
Blue candy.
One candy I've always loved is York Peppermint Patties. Why, I remember waaay back when I was pregnant, convincing Johnny that my heartburn would be helped if I had one! Then he'd make a special trip to the store. (He's so easy!)
Here's a close-up of my candy dish with the
Blue and white candy.
The Blue and white candy sells in 10.5oz bags for about $4.00.These M & M-sized candies are supposed to taste like a York Peppermint Pattie; however, I found the outside coating interferes with the taste I love.
If you like the taste of the original, but don't wish to consume a full-size candy bar, try this smaller version:
They are not Blue, but they do taste just like the larger ones.
However, I cannot promise that they cure heartburn!

I love York Peppermint Patties, so I think I'd also like the pieces...but then I think I'd like them all!!!
ReplyDeleteI've linked up with your for Blue Monday! Thanks for hosting!
Blessings, Doni
Hi Sally - Thanks for hosting this really fun post. First time I'm joining so thanks for letting me participate. Your blue and white candies are so tempting...although at first I thought they were marbles.
ReplyDelete-marie
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteThanks you sweet dear for hosting each week.
I did manage to scrounge up some blue sparklies for you. =)
Candy dish? filled with candy? don't dare. I would eat it all!

barbara jean
I love the blue colour.Can I have some, please?
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday.
Lovely post :-) Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Sally!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a candy eater,,

I do prefer peppermints occasionally.
warm sandy hugs..
Loui♥
A lovely entry and very well photographed too :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the first one - so welcomming :)

Delicious photos today and my favourite candy is chocolate. Have a nice day! :)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, temping! Wish you a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteHmmmnnn but I haven't tried this blue thing... Happy Monday!
ReplyDeletewell - the blue and white LOOKS pretty doesn't it? I don't care for coating for some reason. I've found that with lots of candies although I haven't tried this. I do love the original peppermint patty though-
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday
My daughter has always loved them as well. Remember the commercial..."When I eat a York Peppermint Patty..." and then the person would be doing something like exploring a cool mountain or something.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy York, but M&Ms also have BLUE
ReplyDeleteYork or M&M - either works for me! Love the BLUE, green, yellow, red, orange, and all others! But on BLUE MONDAY, there's nothing better than BLUE mints! Today I vote for York!
ReplyDeleteHappy BLUES day!
Coralie
I love your new header, and I must try that yummy candies..
ReplyDeleteYou started my day with a laugh. It is great we have such wonderful husbands, isn't it?♥
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, dear Sally.
haven't tried that york peppermint candy... i love anything mint....
ReplyDeletei like your header... love the picture
Hi Sally, Loved this post...the blue m&m's are a decorators dream...my kids would eat them all up before anyone could appreciate their lovely color though. I wouldn't be happy going to the movies without a peppermint patty. Also wanted to wish you a happy Anniversary from last week...we were on a staycation, so I was off the computer for the most part. Hope it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried York candies. The blue color is such a pretty blue. My favorite candies are Cadbury and Lindt chocolate, Susan...Christine
ReplyDeleteThe candies look yummy...i think we also have york candy here but it is all white and wrapped individually and the taste is cool and menthol.
ReplyDeleteHappy BM Sally.
Blue and white are one of my favorite combos.
ReplyDeleteSally, I know now you really have the "blues". I am sure your home has plenty of blue, but never dreamed even the candy would be. You are something else! I will see if I can find that candy and try it. Does it turn your mouth blue?
ReplyDeleteOne of hubby's favorite candy mint....Am back...
ReplyDeletemine is here
Yorks are my favorite, too, Sally. I love mint ANYthing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blues....
those look good, don't think I've seen those but then I haven't checked the candy isle in a while LOL Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeletewow! i am also drooling now cause i really want to taste this one.
ReplyDeleteI could go for a York Peppermint Pattie right about now. The A/C is on the fritz here at work.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try those pieces. Like you Yorks are my favorite among mints.
ReplyDeleteI love York Peppermint patties. If I induldge in a candy bar, this is the one I pick. Your flowers at the front door are lovely. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteAnything that is chocolate and mint is a favorite of mine. I love York Peppermint Patties and Andes Candies too. Peppermint ice cream with a dark chocolate sauce is yummy!! Happy Blue Monday dear Sally. Thank you for the party and I am off to visit the other participants!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
I love the table decor! Thanks for the opportunity to link to Blue Monday. Blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteOh, York peppermint patties are a major addiction of mine! i have not tried the little MM size ones. I think that would be much more than I could resist!!

Mmmmmm makes me hungry! Cute post sally! Have a great day. Debbie
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday and late Happy Anniversary Wishes!
ReplyDeleteI had to take a new photo now, to show some chocolate, instead of the one I intended to publish...
I just spotted those a few weeks ago for the first time and am trying to find them again. Wish I could pop in to your house and grab some out of that pretty candy dish.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love candies.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sal!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to get over here to see your finished home for quite some time.. I've been so busy working on mine that I've been a lousy blogger.
Mmmmm.... LOVE peppermint patties too. I didn't even know they made little ones. Now I'm REALLY in trouble.
Thanks so much for your sweet visit.
Huggies,
Spencer
A lovely candy dish, a charming welcome for your guests.
ReplyDeleteBut uh-oh...
WebMd lists peppermint among the top ten causes of heartburn - old wives' tales to the contrary.
Don't worry, your secret is safe with this old wife!
Thanks for hosting Blue Monday, Sally.
Hello,
ReplyDeletei linked in.

Thank you for the fun!
I love york peppermint patties didn't know they had them in pieces. I will have to shop for those :)
ReplyDeleteawesome post. I love ppatties. Crafters/Stampers like to use the scallop punch to sandwich the reg patties. lol It makes a cute presentation.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteYum, I love York Peppermint Patties! So fresh and tasty. I like the great big ones, which is why if I don't watch it I'm going to be great big soon...
I love an entry that has a candy bowl, that's so welcoming and friendly!
Have a great week, thanks for hosting us every Monday!

I haven't seen York in blue and white, wow, glad you're telling me how it taste before I try, I was wondering the same thing.
ReplyDeleteCandy! You are trying to spoil my resolve. I've never seen the pieces that look like blue M&M's. That's something I just have to try. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat tradition! I have not tried them, there is no doubt that I'll love them! I am happy I found your blog via Laura @ White Spray Paint, isn't she great?
ReplyDeleteNancy
That's some cute candy, Sally, and I will have to try it (even though I'm technically NOT supposed to have it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLet's see, my favorite would be Hershey Bars with almonds. Set me freeeeeeeeeeee! Love them.
Thanks for the early birthday wishes. Looking forward to seeing Fred's mom and family who arrive soon!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Oh, Sally, what beautiful and yummy blues! I always enjoy stopping by to visit your blog...even if I don't make it here until Thursday. :) It's always a treat!
ReplyDeleteSherry @ A Happy Valentine
Peppermint Patties are one of my favorites! I am afraid if I were to buy a bag of the M&M sized ones I wouldn't stop eating them. The same with the small bag of little ones. I have no will power!
ReplyDeletetake care,
Dawn
Hi Sally, we are home from camping and relaxing after a very busy week. We had a fun week even though it was very hot and humid. The mountain streams and water falls (small ones) were great for cooling off.
ReplyDeleteYour candy on hand for your company and grands is a sweet idea. My problem is my hubby would eat it all first. He binges on candy and he is a diabetic. (recently diagnosed)
I will see you tomorrow for Blue Monday. I am positive york mints do make one feel better. ( my fave too) smile.
Love ya, Jeanne
Where in the world have I been to have missed these! My favorite color and flavor! Can't wait to buy some.
