I always like to review candies from “the little guy” and this chocolate comes from LØVE Chocolate (LØVE is the Danish word for lion, FYI), a small chocolatier based right here in NC. I got an email from Leslie, the Executive Chef and Owner asking if I’d like to give their chocolates a try. […]

No longer content with his attempts at domination in the spheres of real estate, steaks, men’s clothing, reality television, and follicular architecture, Donald Trump has decided to branch out into the world of candy. That’s right, boys and girls. Trump has opened a candy store.
Named simply Candy, the new store is part […]

Before this past Saturday, a conversation about Payday candy bars might have gone something like this:

Some Nosey Person (aka SNP): Yo, Brian! Do you like Payday candy bars?
Me: Yep.
SNP: When was the last time you had one?
Me: I have no idea. It’s been a LONG time.

Every week we do a Name That Candy post where we post descriptions of long-lost candy sent in by readers and you get to see if you can help figure out what candy it is.

Goobers are a pretty simple candy: roasted peanuts covered in milk chocolate. The peanuts/chocolate combo is one of my personal favorites, and a fairly standard ingredient mix in the wonderful world of candy. Goobers sets itself apart from the rest of the peanut/chocolate candies by removing all other ingredients: there is no nougat, no […]

One of the better parts of living in a country (Australia) with the highest chocolate consumption in the world (per capita) is that every day a new boutique chocolate company sprouts up. In Melbourne we are lucky enough to be home to several of these, which means a walk through the center of the City […]

Early on I learned the difference between really good chocolate, and “other” chocolate. Good chocolate came in nice packaging, was served to you over a high glass counter by a woman wearing white gloves and a fancy uniform, and just one piece cost more than 2 or 3 of the candy bars you might eat […]
