• Candy Review: El Rey Chocolates

  Let’s say you return home from the market with a big Yukon Gold potato to go with your steak. You’re ready to bake the potato when you notice some fine print on a small sticker. It reads: “Contains salt, milk substitutes, artificial Read More...

• Candy Review: Valor Taza to Go Drinking Chocolate

  Taza to Go is a ready-to-drink chocolate extravagance from Valor, the renowned Spanish chocolatier founded in 1881. The name comes from getting chocolate “a la taza” in Spain, which means in a small white ceramic cup. It’s an amazing, Read More...

• Candy Review: Ikea Jelly Rats and Candy Laces

  As I’ve said before, I can’t resist an animal-shaped candy. And when I saw these Jelly Rats in Ikea, I figured that even if these weren’t good to eat, they would be a good joke for my reptile-keeper friends. After all, why should the Read More...

• Candy Review: Whittaker’s Kiwi Fruit Bar

  Back when I was doing the Great Chocolate Experiments, I tried a few unusual combinations of chocolate and fruits like sun-dried tomato and dried mango. But chocolate and kiwi is a new one on me, so I was intrigued when I received this Whittaker’s Kiwi Read More...

• Candy Review: de la Rosa and Mi Mazapan Peanut Candy

  One of the things I always find interesting when traveling in the United States is the prevalence of Hispanic culture compared to in Canada – I guess Mexican immigrants who make it over the border into the United States are usually content to stop there Read More...

• Candy Review: Peirre Marcolini Truffles

  I have a ton of candy left to review from the All Candy Expo, but I decided I needed a small break from upcoming candy to review some of the candy I already had that happens to have a short lifespan. My good friend Greg was kind enough to pick up some Read More...

• Candy Review: Hanuta

  Where I currently reside, Munich, Germany, chocolate is in abundance. All different kinds and textures; milk, dark, fruit-flavored, white, crunchy – the list goes on. All too often, a chocolate craving leads to a serious dilemma: what to buy and which Read More...

• Candy Review: Ikea Milk Chocolate With Hazelnuts

  I have a terror of shopping at Ikea. The stores are so huge and there is only the one exit and pretty much only one route to get there. I always get about halfway through and wonder if I will ever make it out of the store. Of course, if you did have to Read More...

• Japanese Candy Review: Hi-Chew American Cherry, Melon, Lemon

  For a while it looked like you’d never see another non-chocolate candy review from me. I discovered that my local Japanese markets are now carrying the Mango flavor Hi-Chew that I reviewed so enthusiastically a while ago. I bought a large quantity Read More...

• Candy Review: Nimm2 Lach Gummi Treats

  Perhaps it’s the attitude of people; relaxed, fun-loving and carefree. It could also be the weather; warm sun, long days, blooming flora, etc. More than likely it’s a combination of both. Whatever the cause, something about summer really gets me in the Read More...

• Japanese Candy Review: Meiji Chocorooms

  Chocorooms do not contain mushrooms of any kind. Let’s be clear about that. Not Red Belted Polypore, not Queen Boleti, not Morel. No mushrooms at all. Instead, these are “sweet and crispy” Japanese candies that happen to look like rather Read More...

• Japanese Candy Review: Crunky Sea Salt Vanilla White Chocolate

  I grabbed this box without looking too closely when I saw it at my local Japanese market. As you might gather from my last Crunky review, I was hoping to use it as part of my continuing quest to convince English-speakers to love Crunky instead of just Read More...

• Candy Review: Jelly Belly Sunkist Citrus Mix

  photos in this post courtesy of Anthemic Tangle I find Jelly Belly jelly beans really fun to eat so I was delighted to try the Sunkist Citrus Mix. As an added bonus, these jelly beans have added Vitamin C, so you can justify your sugar fix with the knowledge Read More...

• Candy Review: Haribo Saft Goldbaeren

  Let’s give a big Candy Addict welcome to Gigi, our first Europe-based writer! As a Candy Addict, when vying for a sugar fix, gummi bears are fairly low on my list of “candy craving” sweets. On the other hand, if I was asked to buy candy Read More...
