Chocolate Covered Potato Chips.
Made in Millvale, PA. Yetter’s on Grant Avenue.
My friend brought a fancy box of chocolates when she came to dinner Saturday night. And they are delicious. The Betsy Ann Chocolates business is close to her home. Lucky us!
One of the pieces was a chocolate covered cherry (with the “c” on top) just as she advised me. I like to eat a chocolate covered cherry on occasion.
Do you?

Peanut or Regular M&M’S yes or no?
“M&M’S Peanut Chocolate Candies were introduced in 1954 and the color used to print the “m” on M&M’S Plain and Peanut Chocolate Candies was changed from black to white” you can design your own. Personalize them, too.
They were so colorful. Like paint chips! I had to photograph them.
When’s the last time you saw one?
Monday morning I took Steve’s car to get some new tires before winter sets in. My friend V had told me about a Family owned tire business Laurel Gardens Tire Service Inc.
You wait about an hour while they mount the tires. There’s a TV on, pots of coffee. I knit on some socks. Right near me were some classic gumball and candy vending machines.
If I’ve seen a gumball machine in recent years, I don’t remember. They didn’t register in my brain. Can’t you just hear the sound the machine makes as you twist the knob and the gumball rolls down the metal chute. The flapping metal door?
Did you ever put in a coin, only to have the ball roll onto the floor as it exited the dispenser?
I sat there knitting, wondering who invented them. This type of machine has been around since about 1907.
No, I wasn’t tempted to put a coin in the slot.
