Exotic treats are not what you commonly expect to find on the candy rack of the local gas station. And though exotic might be a bit lofty when describing Toffifay (known outside the US as Toffifee), its unique nature compared to its store shelf neighbors definitely makes it stand out.
I recall first running across this […]

I know, I know, more jellybeans (I just reviewed the Starburst Sour Jellybeans), but can you blame me? When you find the right jellybean, it’s the perfect combination of crunch and chew and sugary goodness! So, when Candy Addict’s very own Brian professed that Nerds Bumpy Jellybeans are his favorite Easter candy this year, I […]

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are amazing, there’s no question about it. Who doesn’t have happy childhood memories of indulging in rich, peanutty treats at Halloween, birthday parties, or pressed into Christmas cookies? Yet most would say that Reese’s doesn’t reach its apogee of peanut-butter-goodliness but once a year; hold onto yourselves, Candy Addicts, […]

OK, confession time: did you forget your anniversary? Show up empty-handed to a birthday party? Hey, nobody’s perfect… but if you showed up empty handed on the big day and your better half was a good sport about it, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook! In fact, it seems to […]

It’s not often that I eat a candy which leaves me speechless (unless you count an Atomic Fireball or something which causes pain and renders you mute). My Mom brought me a box of Delacre Crepes au Chocolat from the US and after eating only one, I knew I had finally found my first candy […]

It’s a good day for a Candy Addict when you stumble upon a new candy that rocks your world. I was in Walgreen’s the other day picking up a prescription for my newly-acquired bronchitis (long story) and what did I see but a display of new Fire Twizzlers. A cinnamon Twizzlers! When had these […]

I can just hear some people out there saying “Why would I spend five bucks on this tiny candy bar when I could get a big bag of Whoppers for half the price?” This is a valid feeling, and we here at Candy Addict do try to eschew snobbery whenever possible. But if […]

These are the best candies we have reviewed from the past year. We have written 191 candy reviews so far in 2007 and only 15 of them earned our Candy Addict Awesomely Addictive Award.
The list below is a list of those 15 candies that earned our highest honor. Some are a little expensive, […]

I previously reviewed the chocolate-covered cacao nibs from sweetriot and they were so good I gave them our coveted Candy Addict Awesomely Addictive Award. They are truly delicious. For the holidays, sweetriot has launched a new Santa Gift Bag that includes one of each of their flavor 50, flavor 65, and flavor 70 for […]

Chocolatiers these days have it tough. Not only are consumers becoming more and more aware of what good chocolate is, but they’re also discovering new flavors to go with it and the potential health benefits. That is partly why I was so excited when I discovered Chuao Chocolatier when I was at the All Candy […]
