It seems like your basic caramel has become a thing of the past. Everywhere I look there are all kinds of fancy caramels topped with special salt from Hawaii or the Himalayas. I’ve also seen flavored caramels like pumpkin or even varieties made with tea. I’ve actually never really wanted to try any of these new fangled caramels but after trying these sea salt caramels from Sweet Pete’s, I’ve developed a new point of view.
Apparently, there is a chocolate bar out there that I am NOT allowed to eat!!! When I found out that there was no way I could get at this phenomenal piece of candy, I was outraged! Until I found out from the Chicago Tribune that this particular 12,000 pound chocolate bar was made to teach our children about portion control.
There are just so many gums on the market right now that it’s hard to make any kind of decision on what you wanna chew. There must be at least 4 or 5 different mint flavors per brand from what I see in the checkout lines, not to mention all the fruit or combination flavors. I’ve even seen gum that’s supposed to taste like desserts. Now Stridehas come out with a new Wintermint gum sponsored by snowboarder Shaun White.
Do you have a little “Candy Addict†of your own at home? Would you like them to start learning their numbers in a way they’ll love? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then I’ve found the perfect book for you. Check out this new board book from Laurie Wolf called “Candy 1 to 20″. Every page contains the numbers from 1 to 20 but they numbers are laid out using various candies to make the shapes. For example, there’s a candy stick for number 1 and candy corn for number 20. Each number is made up of different candies, so your little “Candy Addict†will be so crazy to learn how to count. It’s a very cute board book that seems to be great for any pre-schooler. As a grown up “Candy Addictâ€, I just wish every page had real candy made into numbers so I could eat them as I counted to twenty! Retail price: $8.99.

Justin Bieber is just so hot these days. His music beckons teenage girls to cry and scream over and over again. Since he’s just a “baby†himself, I thought that he probably, most likely, LOVES candy. Now, this Top 10 list is not a list of candies that Justin Bieber eats himself (well maybe a couple of exceptions). It’s more like a list of candies that when I see them, they just make my heart go a flutter thinking of Justin. If you’re a Bieber fan and like his music, I hope that you’ll enjoy the Top 10 candies that remind me of Justin Bieber.
#10: Sour Patch Kids
Sour Patch Kids used to be Justin’s favorite candy. But, after mentioning that they were his favorite candy, he began being pelted by them on stage during his concerts. He ended up eating too many and getting sick of them. While they are no longer his favorite candy, they used to be and that counts for something.
#9: Crime Scene Tube Candy
I know that this may not make sense to you but the Crime Scene Candy Tubes are in this list for two reasons. One, in honor of YouTube, where Justin posted many of his early videos to get started. And, two, because it would be a “crime†not to listen to Justin’s music.
