There are many food associations for the month of October and Halloween. But personally, I can think of no other recipe that rings as true to this autumnal month than baked apples. Apples themselves are an odd entity in the candy world, mainly lending themselves to either a sour apple flavoring or through the ever-popular candy [...]

When Candy Addict last went to the All Candy Expo, the writers came back raving about the Medlow fruit pectin jellies they sampled, and lamented how hard it was to source them locally. Of course I had to laugh - being the only Australia-based writer, I could get these all the time! It made a [...]

Filed under: Chocolate, Fruit, Candy, Halloween Looking for some spooky treats to take to a friend's upscale Halloween shindig tonight? Well, you could buy these strawberry ghosts from Godiva for $4.50 a pop. If that is a little beyond your budget, you could try following these directions over at the Kitchen at Apartment Therapy and make your ...

Filed under: Dessert, Grains, Dairy, Chocolate, Fruit, Candy, Raves & Reviews, Eggs, New Products, America, Sugar We're back on Target. Or rather, we're back to looking at Target's in-store brand, Archer Farms, and some of the products they offer.
