Description:

I love scavenger hunts and I LOVE candy, so this is the best of both worlds! This would be a great hunt to do with your kids or have then do it on your behalf, gives them something fun to do!

THE SWAP

You will have 1 partner. In your package you will need at least one piece of candy to fit EACH of the categories below. So even if a piece of candy can fit into multiple categories, it only fulfills 1 type. That means your package MUST contain at least 6 pieces of candy. If you get stumped try checking out the bulk candy section of your local grocery store.

This does not have to be an expensive swap, in fact, try to stick to around $3-$4 including shipping.

You will only have 1 week to send the package out, so feel free to start hunting before partners are assigned if you think that's not enough time.

1-chewy

2-round

3-fruity

4-cinnamon OR mint (can not be gum though)

5-blue

6-coconut

Also, this is senders choice and NOT profile based, so if you get a package that meets all of the categories you MUST rate a "5", even if you do not like the candy!

TO PARTICIPATE

-You must have a rating of 4.8 or better

-no 1's or 3's in the last 3 months

-If you live in a countries that has strict rules about getting candy in the mail, please DO NOT sign up!

-Newbies are welcome with a WELL FILLED OUT profile.

Angel rules:

I angel every swap I host, that said: please do not sign up if you do not intend to send.

*Must have waited the full 2 weeks after the send date

*Must have contacted your partner and gotten no response or an unsatisfactory response

*Must have rated your partner a 1 for no send

Contact me after the above conditions have been met and I will happily send you a lovely package to make up for the one you got flaked on. Please include in your PM the name of the swap you would like an angel package for and the name of your flaker so I can post their name in the flakers group.

Darn, would have loved to have signed up for this, but I don't think anything cinnamon exists here in Australia

doortotheriver 05/13/2010 #

Yeah, I don't think we have cinammon sweeties in the UK either :( xx

Sally 05/13/2010 #

I can't think of any cinnamon sweets either

sduckson 05/13/2010 #

hhmm...what about spicy of some sort??

naddie 05/13/2010 #

ditto all on the cinnamon one :/

sduckson 05/13/2010 #

ok, I added "mint" as an option, hopefully that will work for the international swappers!

Sally 05/13/2010 #

Mint sounds GOOD to me!

NZSteviieStar 05/13/2010 #

im super excited about this swap!!!

catestalkergc 05/13/2010 #

In Australia there are cinnamon flavoured 'mints' but I can't remember the brand, they are usually at service stations.

mizvicky 05/13/2010 #

would love to join but have to hold back on international for now...sigh..have sent TOOOO much stuff off to other countries..lol..Would be great to join if it were USA..No offense anyone..I LOVE to send International but it gets pricey....

badandknowsit2 05/13/2010 #

darn just a comment to everyone when you rate someone a 3 and they have met the requirements realise just like me i sent what i was suppose too plus extra hoping for a heart and for no reason i was given a 3 now i cant join swaps because of it. THink 2x b4 rating someone down, If they deserve it fine but just dont do it because u dont like what they sent

BarkleysMommy 05/13/2010 #

Please provide some guideines on the minimum size/weight of the candy for this swap. Thanks :-)

sduckson 05/13/2010 #

@BarkleysMommy no min/max really, as long as you have at least 1 piece of candy for each category. So really, this can be a very inexpensive swap, just $2-$3 including postage!

sduckson 05/13/2010 #

@mizvicky are you SURE you don't want to join...you know you want to!! It should only cost around $3 for everything if you just get 1 piece of candy for each category...twist arm

Babette323 05/13/2010 #

What a cool idea-- I'm definitely joining! I was just realizing that I could do it pretty cheaply by visiting my local bulk candy store (sadly, grocery stores around here don't have bulk candy). I know from prior gingerbread house decorating that the bulk stores let you buy 1 candy.

maroyau 05/13/2010 #

Hmm @catestalkergc that is starting to ring a bell, I'll have a look. With it mint now though I am thinging mint pattie or peppermint crisp! Or a mint freddo. Can you tell I like mint ? lol

So glad I can join now!! Ok ok, so I'm a chocoholic lol

sduckson 05/13/2010 #

@maroyau oohhh...what's a mint "freddo" ??

maroyau 05/13/2010 #

lol, a freddo is a chocolate frog. He comes in a variety of flavours - milk choc, white choc, with bits of various candy in (or what we would call lollies) He can also come with strawberry or mint filling. A close relative of our Caramello Koala (a milk choc koala with caramel filling) Classic Aussies!!

mizvicky 05/13/2010 #

chocolate frog OH YESSSSSSSSS>> I LOVE frogs..lol ok I am joining..DO NOT TELL HUBBY

sduckson 05/13/2010 #

rofl@mizvicky!! and those frogs and koala's sound yummy!!

NZSteviieStar 05/14/2010 #

IM SO DONE!! =] i went out today on the hunt for all the items today so i know exactly where they are and how much they will be!! cant wait for partners to be assigned!! =] and OMG! i LOVE fredo frogs!! =]

maroyau 05/14/2010 #

Yep, freddos are yumm. I really love the ones with the bits of clinkers in them, If you guys don't have clinkers I have no idea how I'm going to explain them lol. Then there are Bertie Beetles .........

mizvicky 05/15/2010 #

ummmm bug betles?? you have candy with bugs??? ummmm yuck..lol

sduckson 05/15/2010 #

haha....clinkers, not a clue....bertie beetles, even more clueless now....now I want a freddo frog just to see what this stuff is!

maroyau 05/15/2010 #

I read a clinkers pack, there is nothing to help me describe them lol. As for bertie beetles, they are choc beetles with little pieces of honeycomb. Not as good as the originals they made, but still one of my faves!

honeysucklescafe 05/16/2010 #

I love international candies...my daughter and I record our experiences in a journal....no chocolate please because it is 94 degrees in FL now and it WILL melt. sorry! cant wait!

mizvicky 05/17/2010 #

boo hoo--- dropping out... will join the usa version..hugs

LSanti 05/21/2010 #

Hi I'm very new (2days) I'm super excited and hope my profile will quallify me for this swap! Just to be sure I'll do some more edits now :)

Moonya 05/22/2010 #

hmmm, the only real challenge for me will be the coconut, unless it can be a biscuit. Otherwise it goes the direction of chocolate and I don't like sending chocolate

skuldintape 05/22/2010 #

Richie's Cinnamon sweets are available in Ireland, so they should be available in the UK. They come in a roll, in red packaging.

sduckson 05/22/2010 #

@moonya do you have any hard candies that are coconut? or even if coconut is one of the main ingredients it should work...someone on the usa version found a sucker, lol.

kirstykai 05/25/2010 #

Just a thought. When it says chewy you mean something like (fruit salads, blackjacks, starburst etc) or do you mean chewing gum?

donnasaurus1 05/29/2010 #

I have added the above group for all candy lovers.

kirstykai 06/ 2/2010 #

Opps I sent full size candy bars, someone has a lot of candy coming their way :0)

vegasvoss 06/ 3/2010 #
