Every morning, for breakfast, Caleb gets to eat candy. It's actually his chewable vitamin, but I call it Breakfast Candy, which makes it oh-so-much-more desirable in his two-year-old mind. He also get to eat Prune Candy when he's, ahem, moving slowly. He thinks it is so cool when I let him have Candy for a snack!
My next idea: Broccoli Candy (I'm thinking this one might be a little harder to sell)

Good idea! It's amazing how much our mind influences things like that... it's all about perception! Let us know how the broccoli one works out for you! =)
Reminded me of this article in Mental Floss magazine regarding parents disguising food:
"For as long as children have been shoving Brussels sprouts under mashed potatoes and slipping green beans to the dog, parents have been hunting desperately for a way to end the vegetable discrimination.
Finally, in the 1970's, American Kitchen Foods, Inc. came to the rescue (or at least tried) with the release of "I Hate Peas!" Since kids love French fries so much, the company decided that disguising peas in a fry-shaped form was a sure-fire way to trick tots into getting their vitamins.
Not a chance. Children all over America saw through the ruse. After all, a pea is a pea is a pea, and the name of the product was more than apropos, no matter what it looked like. There were other thinly disguised vegetables in the company's "I Hate" line, but kids hated those, too."
very creative & crafty, that!! :o)
Yeah, I'm pretty much thinking the broccoli candy is going to flop. At least prune candy has the sweet-flavor going for it.
