Butterfingers are gross. There, I said it. They stick to your teeth, they somehow make even peanut butter taste fake, and those orange shards of brittle blah are covered with cheap chocolate that I wouldn’t feed to a trapped miner.
I mention this candy nemesis of mine because today I’m reviewing Chick-O-Stick, […]

One of my favorite candy bars in the entire word is the Reese’s Nutrageous bar, a slab of choco-peanut goodness that comes wrapped in the beloved and obnoxious orange packaging of all Reese’s products. The Nutrageous bar came on the scene in 1994, when I was in 7th grade, and it was love at first […]

Back in 1996, a new candy appeared on the scene here in Canada. They were created by two guys from Winnipeg, Chris Emery and Larry Finnson, who decided to try marketing their Grandma’s candy recipe. They were an overnight sensation, and today they’re found on store shelves everywhere next to the big boys like Werthers’ […]

Here is a guest review by Julie…
When I was about 8, our family moved to a remote part of Connecticut that was easily five miles from any main commercial shopping areas. The only place we could get candy was the neighborhood gas station, complete with a grungy, grumpy old […]

Although I don’t consider myself to be a picky eater, I’ve been told that I tend to dissect my food. This is particularly true when said food was once alive and has the ability to surprise me with an unexpected texture or color. I hate to admit that this attention to food detail has in […]

It’s hard to believe that the world’s first combination candy bar is still an unknown name for most. I am referring to the GooGoo Cluster, which was made by the Standard Candy Company back in 1912. Like most classic and retro candy, they can be difficult to find unless you live in the region that […]

We were going to just mention D’asse because of its odd name, but I was most amused when I actually found a box to taste! This is why I love living in a neighborhood with some great Asian supermarkets. You never know what gems you might find - and at $2 for a box, this […]

The Whatchamacallit is the 80’s hair band of candy bars. I mean this in the best possible way. From its ugly tan wrapper to its incredibly ridiculous name, everything about the Whatchamacallit bar screams “80’s!”. Even so, I have to give it up to the Whatchamacallit, for the Whatchamacallit still believes! Sure, it may […]

I came across an entire CASE of these Idaho Spuds at work. Turns out my boss was given a case of them as partial payment for photographing a wedding (the bride was from Idaho) and she (my boss) couldn’t possibly eat that many, so she brought them in to share the wealth.
I had heard of […]

The Butter Krak egg, made by Philadelphia based S. Zitner Company, has long been a mainstay of my region. I live only a short drive across the Delaware in New Jersey, and every year, I always hear about people going crazy for Zitners eggs. I’ve never tried them until now, when I ran across them […]
