All of us here at Candy Addict want to wish you a very happy Halloween! Some people have Christmas, some may love Valentine’s Day, but for us, it’s Halloween all the way. What could be better for a Candy Addict than a day dedicated to free candy? Well, maybe one dedicated to free candy for […]

Last year, I reviewed the Limited Edition Chocolate Pop Rocks and while quite tasty, my biggest complaint was the lack of candy in that small Pop Rocks envelope. Pop Rocks has decided to solve that problem by releasing a 2.33 oz “Mega Bar” of milk chocolate with Pop Rocks mixed in. It comes in […]

Every kid knows that a stellar costume is a ticket to a few extra pieces from appreciative candy givers. In my neighborhood, anyway, the kids who put a bit of effort into their Halloween gear (even if it was putting a sheet over their head, drawing a squiggly ink mark across the front, and […]

Everything tastes better home-made, right? This is true of almost everything, but it is especially true when it comes to treats. Cookies straight out of the oven are infinitely more pleasing than the ones straight out of the factory.

The next best thing to trick or treating on Halloween is handing the candy out, am I right? That way you accidentally have extras afterwards that you can only get rid of by eating all yourself!
Now you can dish out Halloween candy all year round. The creative geniuses at Homestarrunner.com took this idea […]
