On Friday, June 24th the Boston Bar Foundation will be holding its 5th Annual Justice is Sweet. The premier networking event of the summer, Justice is Sweet features 4 chocolate fountains paired with delectable treats, hors d'oeuvres, drinks and live music, all while supporting the charitable mission of the Boston Bar Foundation. Last year more than 300 guests showed up to satisfy their sweet tooth. Justice is Sweet (and its 5th anniversary) got BBA Week curious what candy, deserts and sweets members of the bar used to enjoy back in the day, so we are asked:

"What was your favorite childhood candy? "

	Alexandra Gorman - Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP "Peeps. People either love them or hate them, but my Easter basket was never complete without some classic yellow Peeps."
	Michael S. Rabieh - Goulston & Storrs "Frozen blackberries topped with sugar. If you say this isn't candy, you might be right, but I bet you’d feel differently if you ever tried it. I grew up in Louisiana, and we had blackberries growing in our back yard. We would pick the berries in the summer, put them in bowls in our freezer for half an hour, and eat them with sugar sprinkled on top. It now strikes me as a crime against blackberries, but I loved this dessert as a kid, and it was a terrific way to beat the heat."
	Jennifer Ihns Charles - Proskauer "Strawberry-flavored Buballoo. It's a gum with a delicious syrup filling. These remain extremely popular in Brazil (where I grew up), but I've also seen them on sale in the US!"
	Deanna G. Sheridan - NORESCO "Like most kids, I was pretty equal-opportunity when it came to candy, so picking just one childhood favorite is pretty tough. I have fond memories of getting lots of candy from the concession stand at my brothers’ Little League games - two of my favorites were green apple flavored Jolly Rancher Stix and Laser Disc Sour Gum. Not what I would choose now, but they were great back then!"
