As I mentioned before, I hired a web designer to revamp the site’s look. Well, it turns out now that he can’t do it - life got in the way for him. So, I’m looking for a new site designer. If you or someone you know would like to do it, let me know and […]

No other candy has served the American imagination more than Pop Rocks. Okay, maybe the stories surrounding M&Ms could compete with the ones spawned from Pop Rocks, but you have to admit, dying from ingesting candy and Coke is pretty remarkable.

‘Tis the season for this Christmas candy favorite. Take one look at Candy Addict, and you can see wildly different incarnations of candy canes: in Hershey’s Kisses, in Tootsie Pops, in Pop Rocks, and even as Christmas tree waterers.

Brought to you by the National Association of Manufacturers (and just in time for Christmas), here are a couple videos of holiday candy being made. Both videos were taped at the Wolfgang Candy Company. The first video shows how their Chocolate Nutcrackers are made. The 6:26 video takes you from the mixing of the chocolate […]

I’m dreaming of a white…Tootsie Roll? Whether your head hit the pillow and filled with thoughts of albino candy or not, 14oz bags of Vanilla Flavored Midgees are here for the holidays.
I’m a huge fan of Tootsie Roll products (love the Tootsie Roll Mini Chews) and I was worried that the Vanilla Midgees would disappoint […]

Life is like a box of chocolates–complex and swirling with the unknown! How many of you have peered into a box of chocolates, only to be filled with trepidation? Who knows what gooey substances, what nougat-enrobed candied fruit chunks, what mushed coconut shards, lie in wait? The holidays seem to be the prime time for […]

Farrell’s is fabulous fun for everyone. Step through the door, you know what you’ll find–an ice cream parlour that’s just one of a kind!” Ahh, but I […]

The wrapper is a beautiful berry pink color and the tag proudly announces “strawberry” all over itself. […]
