I don't know why, but that peanut totally makes this shot. As always, you two make me smile!

Hilarious! Do you also test paper money? I prefer peanuts anyway!

or love or chocolate - now that would be a quandary!
(and exactly what are those peanuts doing there?)

All I can think of is "We actually let our kids eat this stuff" I never really did as a kid tho - not because I wasn't allowed no, I just never liked those kinds of chalky hearts and I'm not much on chocolate. Don't worry I had my fair share of OTHER junk food.

Just a word of caution - if you use your teeth these days to test for gold, and then chip one, you're going to need the gold as a down payment on the dentist's bill! The choccie look delicious!

Ah! This is perfect for the upcoming Valentines Day. But...with the way the economy is, I'd say this sums it up perfectly. I love looking at life through both of your sides, excellent shot(s).

Such funny thoughts I get from this. You may have to start charging for the entertainment.
One thought I got out of it is, look how neat and romantic Lilly is (a woman's style) while Ronnie (typical man's style) made a mess of things. Do you bite the bottoms out of the chocolates in those candy hearts to see what flavor they are? Then put them back.
As always the creative charm of you two is wonderful.
By the way, wasn't it just last year they had a recall on these chocolate coins? They found some toxin or something in them. Seriously.

I grew up with love hearts and still like them today, but the chocolate money always tasted less like chocolate and more like candle wax! Ha ha
A fun post, that made me smile

So what's the exchange rate for both currencies? At school we had to pay 5 gold coins for a smurf figure. :-)

@MadScientist: :
(from Ronnie) Smurfs !! Somehow, those passed me by but I see that over 300 million of them have been sold, so far!
Tracey from Maryland, United States

The darkness of your backgrounds really enhances your lollies and chocolates, looks just like an advert.

It's kind of funny how you both arranged them similarly. A plan? Serendipity? Or ESP?

The coins remind me of a sitcom where, running low on candy, condoms got passed out to the trick-or-treaters on Halloween, mistaking them for chocolate gold coins.

You need to win something!
