This trip is a first for many things for me. It’s my first time in Chicago, the first time at an expo, the first time I met Caitlin and Laurie in person (both so awesome), and the first time I have ever wondered if there is such a thing as too much candy.
I mean there is just a ridiculous amount here. After weighing my haul from yesterday, I came back with 38 pounds. 38! That’s like a small dog. And it’s only day one!
There’s a lot to talk about, but only so much I can write in brief, so here are a few highlights:
- M&M’s coconut will be debuting as a limited release this summer
- Snickers Fudge will be out in August
- Newest flavor craze could be cherimoya/guabana
- Smaller packaging is in
Those were the big things I think you should know before anything else, and when I get home this weekend, I’ll write something in length and mention the noteworthy products I sampled and what else to look forward to. For now, it’s back to the floor and even more candy!
OMG – Snickers FUDGE??? Sign me up! Thanks for giving me something to look forward to :-)

For now, suffice it to say that I discovered the dubious joys of eating so many free candy samples that you are actually nauseous and having to haul half my weight in candy back to a foreign country.

i saw your comment about the new coconut m&m\’s… and how you like the crispy version (btw, my daughter shares your anger about them not being sold here anymore ;) – anyway…. they are sold in the UK – I imagine you could find some way to order some online if you are so inclined :)
