Easter is quickly approaching and I’m so excited. Actually because of the way this reviewing thing works I’ve actually already eaten a ton of Easter candy already. But come Easter morning when I’m in my one piece jammies running down the stairs I can for some reason still manage to get a whole chocolate bunny into my tummy before breakfast. It’s strange what the holidays will make you do.
I believe that something is just not right if you make a cow out of milk chocolate. It just seems wrong since the milk for the chocolate was in fact made by a cow. It also doesn't help when you make the chocolate cow look so freaked out.
The folks at Trident sent me a couple of samples of their new Trident Layers Gum. It looks pretty cool and I'm going to post a review of it this Sunday after Easter.
I came across this site that featured just the kind of dinning room accessory that I could go for. Sure I'm disappointed that this gummy bear chandelier is made with fake gummy bears and not the real thing, however I guess they would melt otherwise.
Every Easter at my school there's really no signs of this holiday other than people wanting to go back home for the holidays. By this point most people are really burnt out from papers and studying from exams. However the food services people are nice enough to bring a little of the spirit into the vending machines for a limited time. Cadbury Mini Eggs make me smile a little before my hellish exams.
Since it’s Easter, and since I have so many Easter treats in front of me, I figured I’d post a few extra reviews this week. I’m starting with this Turtles Egg and post a few more throughout the week. I’m pretty busy this week so I’m not sure when they’ll get posted, but I pretty much have to do it before Easter or that would ruin the whole point. Well enjoy this new review and keep an eye open later this week for more.
Why I haven’t seen this before is completely beyond me. It’s one of the greatest ads ever!

It’s official; my photo business is two years old today. Check out the candy photo selection and pick something up for yourself.
One of the best ways to get your pecan fix today is a nice box of assorted fine chocolates like the ones from the 1960’s Whitman’s Ad.
As requested by my friend Mike I present to you a mouth full of Zoodles. I did in fact go hunting with a bowl a spoon and I believe I went over my hunting licence limit. I also believe that I did eat some endangered creatures as well. The experience of eating a huge mouthful of Zoodles was ok except for one part. My Zoodles where way too hot and I think I burned the roof of my mouth. The sensation and taste other than that was fine but I think in the future I’ll let them cool before shovelling way too much into my face.
But really you could eat just about any fruit you want covered in chocolate and I won’t tell.
Lately I haven't really been happy with the look and feel of candycritic.org. So I've decided to re-design it over the next few months. I'm not sure how long it'll take me but any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
On a trip to Walmart this weekend I came across a huge selection of plastic Easter eggs perfect for hiding little treats all over the house. These camouflage ones would do particularly well if you had lots of house plants and you never wanted them to get found.
March 14th is National Potato Chip Day, and March 23rd is National Chip and Dip Day. It appears that March is the month for salty snacks.
This time of year up here in Canada is when all the snow starts to melt and spring comes out to play. There’s still snow on the ground however it’s not as fluffy as it was when it fell. Instead it’s what the experts call granular and every time I walk through a patch of it I strangely crave a Slurpy from 7-11 (or any other brand for that matter). It’s really strange but a sign of spring for me is this strange urge to drink some slush.
Here in Canada, and in many Southern US states maple sugar is starting to run. Those out there you consider themselves to be maple syrup connoisseurs know that a fresh maple sugar is far more tasty than an older maple syrup. There’s also some debate about types of syrup, however I’m fairly certain that the light or dark are equally tasty. However if you ever get the chance to lick the bottom of a maple sugar boiler after the day long boil you will not be disappointed. You might want to wait till it cools a little though.
Here’s a clip from a fashion show in India where all of the fashion is either inspired or might actually contain chocolate. It’s a little strange to wear your chocolate particularly in the summer but what do I know about fashion.

This Hershey’s Golden Almond bar wrapper is one of the classiest wrappers I’ve ever seen.
Today I’m baking cookies, and I thought it would be fun to stuff my face with cookies. Then I opened the tube of dough, and figured that if I didn’t stuff my face with raw cookie dough I might as well stop posting pictures of me stuffing my face all together. The feeling is about as good as you would imagine. The only thing I’d change is that I used the dough with chocolate chunks as opposed to chips. The chunks (since they’re not melted) are a little bit too big, chips would have been better.
