It's a New Episode Of Junk Fud and You - Candy Brands You Might Not Know

I had a really hard time making this list. It's not that I didn't know about these brands, I was just worried I would insult other candy experts by pointing out brands they already knew about and assumed that they didn't. I hope you're not insulted if you know every brand on this list, or if I missed one that you think should be on here.

It's A Day Late, But It's A New Review - Sugus "Strawberry"

I'm running a little bit late this week because of the holidays. It's been a very strange holiday season for me, but I feel like this week is going to be okay. Even though I'm in lockdown, and even though things aren't going exactly as I had planned them, I still feel like these next few days are going to be fine. Best of all, I have some treats to review, and a few videos to make. That sort of thing always distracts me from the real world. While I do write about the real world occasionally, hopefully you can dig around Candy Critic a bit and find yourself a distraction.

Christmas Candy This Year

It's been a weird year, and a weird holiday season. Some of us are doing okay, other's are not. To all those not doing great right now, I'm here for you, maybe not physically, but I'm here for you. I can't say anything else except it's going to get better. It might not be the same as it was before, but it's going to get better. I'll tell you why I'm so optimistic. Around Halloween I had recently returned home from living in Asia, and even though Covid was still around, I was looking forward to being home and eating some Canadian/North American treats. Then, as more news of Covid hit, I learned that Halloween was going to be canceled, and Halloween treats were going to be reduced or entirely canceled at many stores. I felt like I was coming home to an empty house. I was worried that the world was going to remain empty and maybe never fill up again. 

Then Christmas started to peek its way in, and people started to decorate their houses, and best of all for me, stores started to fill up with Christmas cheer. Sure it's not the same as in years past, but it's much better than it was at Halloween. Sure I over indulged this year, but I feel like I needed it a little. So go out and over indulge this holiday season. Maybe it won't be with food, but be extra festive no mater what you celebrate.

Click here to read yet another Christmas review.

Make sure to check out my Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook feeds to find out how I'm indulging a little.

Also be sure to read the latest issue of Snack Facts and learn all about the candy cane.

And Christmas Will Now Begin

I have a really strange Christmas ahead (as we all likely do), but I also have a few reviews that I want to post. I also have a plan... it's not a great plan, but it's a plan none the less. I'm hoping that I will be posting regular reviews over the next few weeks and treat you all to some holiday cheer. I'm not sure where Christmas ranks in the candy themed holidays, but I'm pretty sure it's in the top 3. So even though things are weird for us all, I'll do my best to keep the reviews coming all through the holidays.

The first review I've got is both chocolaty and minty. I'm pretty sure that mint is one of the most important flavours of Christmas, and chocolate... well chocolate is appropriate for every holiday.

Make sure to check out the first, of a few Christmas candies I'm reviewing this year.

Also be sure to check out my Twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds too, we're posting interesting Christmas candy finds on it every day.

While you're in the Christmas spirit, why not check out the latest issue of Snack Facts where Sir Francis Sweetums teaches you all about the history of the candy cane.
