Eating a coffee bean sounds a little weird at first, but when you coat it with dark chocolate and a candy shell… a whole new world can open up to you. Chargers Candy sent me a free sample of one of their battery-shaped tins of Chargers Chocolate Espresso Beans (”Get Charged”), and I am really […]

I am a nut for T-shirts, and I have been dying to get some Candy Addict Tees printed up (mainly because I want one) so I’m finally going to do it. Problem is, I don’t have a design! So, let’s see if some reader (or friend of a reader) can come up with a great […]

The guys at The Sugar Revolution have found another candy we can add to our ever-growing list of oddly named candies — this one is the Picnic Hedgehog. The reviewers of this curiously dubbed product say that milk chocolate smothers peanuts, chocolate fudge, biscuit pieces, caramel and wafers in a 45g bar.

I wrote about Hypodermic Needle Candy earlier this month, and now I’ve found another chocolate cure for the holiday blues. Whether you’re stuck in an emergency situation, obsessing over wrinkles, or trying to follow a healthy diet, The Best Medicine—Chocolate provides the answer you need. Ditch the painful injections and try dark chocolate Bochox […]

Another in the crowded, but still-growing field of caffeinated candy, Buzz Bites by Vroom Foods (maker of Foosh Mints also) combine caffeine, B vitamins, taurine, ginseng, and other ingredients into what they call their “Proprietary Synergistic Energy Blend”. Just how how much caffeine do they contain? 100 mg per chew, which is roughly the equivalent […]

Everyone remembers Jolt Cola, they hyper-caffeinated cola, right? Besides making Jolt Cola and Jolt Gum, now you can get Jolt Caffeine Energy Mints. The Mint Flurry flavored mints contain caffeine, guarana, and ginseng to give you a quick energy pick-me-up whenever you need it. Five mints equal the caffeine content of one cup of coffee […]

What better time than right after Thanksgiving to write about chocolates with flavors like Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Cranberry, and Egg Nog? Ethel’s Chocolates Seasonal Collection contains these flavors Dreamy White and Cinnamon & Sugar. Upon opening the package I was impressed at how beautiful the chocolates are. They have unique wavy edges and each […]

We wrote about making your own bubblegum before, but now Discovery has come out with this end-all be-all gum making kit. With it, you can make sour gum, color-change gum, spicy gum, and even gooey center-filled gum. Sounds like fun! I really need to try one of these with my daughter.

Last week, my daughter went to a birthday party and the host family had a rabbit named Skittles. That got me trying to think of all the candy-related terms/names that double as pet names. I met a rabbit named Skittles, Snickers was originally named after a horse, my wife’s grandmother has a dog named Taffy, […]
