In what I can only call a strange twist of fate, the Edvard Munch masterpiece, “The Scream” was recovered only 11 days after M&Ms announced a 2 million Dark M&M’s reward for its recovery. The painting, seen above, was stolen on August 22, 2004 from the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway and hasn’t been […]

Today is Blog Day, 2006! It’s a very cool concept - you write about five blogs that your readers might not know, but might enjoy. I’ve already been mentioned at Anne’s Food (thanks, Anne!). I already have a list of some other candy-related blogs in the lower right under “Other Candy Sites”, so […]

After a night of taste-testing tons of candy, I was ready for something unique and delicious. I found what I was looking for in a sample box sent to me by the people at Halvah. The Joyva Sesame Crunch bar has a wonderfully distinctive flavor and texture. The bar is thin and flat and made […]

It’s almost time for state fairs to start rolling into town again and that means more deep fried candy bars. The editor of the Patriot Ledger (a newspaper in Boston) emailed me last week asking if they could use one of my pictures of deep-fried Snickers in their paper. I said yes (and why […]

The Demeter Fragrance Library stocks several candy-related flavors, including Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum, Caramel, and even Pure Sugar Cane, as […]

Lst week I hired the fine folks at jtkconsulting.com to redesign Candy Addict. The site really needs some professional help - it looks like I hacked it together (and I did).
Many people say they like that the site looks like they just walked into a candy store and I want to keep that look/feeling […]

Over the weekend, the gang over at Hasbro/Cap Candy sent me some samples of the new Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans that are due out on the market sometime around February 2007. Words can’t express how excited I was when I saw them. It literally gave me goosebumps knowing that […]

Yes, Candy Scabs….again. I first mentioned these when I stumbled upon them online a few months ago. They were gross enough to take the number one spot on our Top 10 Grossest Candies list, and now I have some in my grubby little hands. They don’t come out officially […]
