I’m just going to come out and say it, Gimbal’s Sour Lovers Mix is the absolute BEST sour candy I have ever had! I’ve never had any Gimbal’s candy before and honestly I had never heard of them before I got this bag of goodness. I sure do know about Gimbal’s Candy now! They are so good that I let my husband have a few and from his reaction, I had to hide the bag in order to have enough for me to write this review. It was tough.

Categories: Candy,Candy Reviews,Chocolate Candy,Gourmet Candy,Sour Candy
I bought this Margarita Manatee chocolate for all the wrong reasons: because I like manatees, and I like margaritas, and I like good white chocolate.
The manatees are irrelevant, because of course, this product is not manatee flavored. Setting aside the question of whether this would be a tasty idea (NO), manatees, being endangered, and adorable, should never be used to make candy.
The margarita, on the other hand, is extremely relevant, but possibly a reason to NOT buy this. See, what I did not stop to ask myself was the obvious: is it actually a good idea to combine that flavor with chocolate?
Candy Review: Clif Shot Bloks
Categories: Candy,Candy Reviews,Candy with Caffeine,Energy Candy,Gummi/Gummy CandyMy friends often wonder how I can consume so many sweets and not weigh a million pounds. Well, I run. But here’s something they might not know – I eat candy when I run! Back when I trained with some ultrarunners, I learned to eat while running. Typical endurance foods such as PowerBars just didn’t taste that great to a Candy Addict like me, so I started taking more appealing yet equally energy-boosting treats, such as Snickers bars, red licorice, M&Ms, gummi bears, and ooh, Jelly Belly jellybeans!
Well, manufacturers of energy foods have gotten smarter, and they’ve started producing endurance treats that actually taste good (that means they taste like candy). Clif, the makers of Clif Bar, have developed a carbohydrate and electrolyte replacement product called Shot Bloks that are rather like gummi candies. Offered in a number of flavors, including strawberry, cola, orange, lemon lime, and cran razz, these little cubes are designed to give the athlete a boost of energy. Some of them contain caffeine, but all boast organic brown rice syrup and are sweetened with organic evaporated cane juice.
