Friday Fun: Candy Train

Candy Train

For today’s Friday Fun, we have a game called Candy Train. In it, you must make sure the train has tracks in front of it and use them to steer the train to pick up various candy around the playfield. It reminds me a lot of an old game called Pipes. Make sure you use the Slow/Fast lollipop on the left!

Candy Train in your browser requires Java to play (not Flash). If you REALLY like Candy Train, you can even play it on your Palm or your PocketPC. Have fun!

Cadbury Mini Eggs McFlurry at U.K. McDonald’s

Cadbury Mini Egg McFlurry

Cadbury Mini Eggs are my favorite Easter candy and ice cream is my second favorite food (after candy), so this sounds like heaven. In the U.K., McDonald’s now offers a Limited Edition Cadbury Mini Egg McFlurry – ice cream with Crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs swirled in! I may have to try making one at home sometime since I’m not headed to the U.K. anytime soon. If anyone reading has tried one, leave a comment and let us know how it is!

Evidently, in the past they have also had Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurries, though that doesn’t sound as good to me.

Cutest Truffles EVER

Cutest Truffles

Are these not the cutest truffles you have ever seen? I don’t think I have ever seen a truffle and thought “cute”, but now I have. These are from the “Country Critter Collection” from Moonstruck Chocolate Co. The collection includes a duck, cow, chick, lamb turkey, and pig (see picture below).

These aren’t the only cute truffles they have either. They also have a 4 piece Chick Truffle Collection, Chick Truffle In Chocolate Egg, Chocolate Flower Pots, and Wrapped Cream Cones and Sundaes.

You can also get the Connoisseur Collection, 24 of the same truffles that were given out at the Oscars…only $175. I’ll take two!

(BTW – if you like cute stuff like this, be sure and check out Cute Overload)

Candy Review: Cactus Candy


Cactus Candy
(click for more pics)

I used to live in Arizona, about 4 hours from Phoenix, when I was a kid. The only Arizona-specific food memory I have is drinking Sarsaparilla when visiting Tombstone (yeah, I know Sarsparilla isn’t a food, but that’s all I’ve got). I do remember the cacti though, and I don’t ever remember thinking I wanted to eat them. This all leads up to today’s review: Cactus Candy – made in Phoenix, Arizona.

Cactus Candy comes in four flavors: Prickly Pear, Pomegranate, Lemon, and Orange. Only The Prickly Pear flavor actually contains prickly pear cactus juice though.

Candy Petitions

Hershey's Cherry Kiss

Not long ago (and on a whim), I started a petition to request that Hershey’s keep the Cherry Cordial Kisses in production all year round. Surprisingly, as of this writing, there are 1789 signatures.

That got me wondering what other candy petitions are there? Here are some of them:

The Fun Dip petition is hilarious. If you only read one, read that one.
