Candy Review: VE2 Energy Gum

One of the treats I got from the All Candy Expo was this pack of VE2 energy gum. It’s candy with a conscience - the packaging is very minimalist and it says, “To save trees & make less trash this package avoids using a paper sleeve wrap.” Read More...

Candy Review: Junior Fruit Cremes

Tootsie’s Junior Fruit Cremes are probably the most notorious candy to hit the shelves this year, or in recent memory for that matter. Many other candy bloggers have reviewed/lambasted them, and the results have all been the same: abomination (and that’s Read More...

Teenormous - a t-shirt search engine

I started Candy Addict almost three years ago, but candy isn’t all I am into (snacks are another). I also love t-shirts, as you can tell by the number of times we have written about t-shirts. Because of this, I have been busy lately working on a Read More...

Candy Review: NutJob chocolate bar

Candy Spotting 101

I have what I like to call Candy-ar. It's like a radar, but for candy. I can walk into any store, restaurant or home and spot a bowl of peppermints, Hershey Kisses, cinnamon disks. Doesn't matter. You can also call it candy spotting. So you can imagine Read More...
