For today’s Friday Fun, we have a game called Candy Train. In it, you must make sure the train has tracks in front of it and use them to steer the train to pick up various candy around the playfield. It reminds me a lot of an old game called Pipes. Make sure you […]

Cadbury Mini Eggs are my favorite Easter candy and ice cream is my second favorite food (after candy), so this sounds like heaven. In the U.K., McDonald’s now offers a Limited Edition Cadbury Mini Egg McFlurry - ice cream with Crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs swirled in! I may have to try making one at […]

Are these not the cutest truffles you have ever seen? I don’t think I have ever seen a truffle and thought “cute”, but now I have. These are from the “Country Critter Collection” from Moonstruck Chocolate Co. The collection includes a duck, cow, chick, lamb turkey, and pig (see picture below).

I used to live in Arizona, about 4 hours from Phoenix, when I was a kid. The only Arizona-specific food memory I have is drinking Sarsaparilla when visiting Tombstone (yeah, I know Sarsparilla isn’t a food, but that’s all I’ve got). I do remember the cacti though, and I don’t ever […]

Foosh Energy Mints are billed as “Seriously Caffeinated” and they aren’t kidding…they contain 100mg of caffeine which is equal to one cup of coffee or 1.25 cans of Red Bull. They also contain ginseng, taurine, and five B vitamins. Sounds great for those of us that don’t drink coffee and need a pick-me-up or […]

Did you know that Skittles makes (made?) Liquorice Skittles and they were available in non-US markets? I stumbled upon this page that talks about them then found a blog entry talking about them. Here is a description:

green — aniseed. They taste much like the Springerle cookies my mom used to make at christmas […]

I haven’t watched The Simpson’s in ages - I stopped watching it years ago (and now Family Guy is my favorite cartoon). This is an episode I’m sorry I missed. Homer and Marge attend a candy convention and hilarity ensues. See if you can catch all the candy jokes/puns.
