Bulk Candies In Supermarket Bulk Bins

One of my biggest fears as a Candy Critic are the strange bulk bins you find in grocery and foreign food stores. It's a fear that I often have to face, but every time I purchase a treat from one of these bulk bins I have little to no idea what I'm getting myself into. There are really three ways this kind of treat can go. It can be a great new discovery, something tasty and unique. It can be something horrible, so bad that I can't understand why people even sell such a treat. Finally it can be really, really boring, and this is actually the most common problem. With something great or something horrible there's plenty to write about, but with something boring, like an average fruity hard candy, I have a hard time filling up space when I write the review. Most of the time I end up filling the review full of explanations about how hard that particular review was to write.

Fortunately this treat was a a little more interesting than usual, not sure I loved it though.

Gummy Art

This week's review features gummy creations that are some of the most beautiful and creative designs I've ever seen. It makes me wonder if anyone is making artisanal gummies. I've been to thousands of candy shops in my life, but I've never seen anyone making super high end gummies. You would figure that there would be a market for beautiful gummies that are so detailed and so fancy that they belong in a museum. The folks at Amos have come pretty close to making this high end gummy, but I feel like there's an artist out there that could change the world.

Check out my review of these very beautiful gummies.

Mountain Dew Has Run Amuck

 I often wonder why I eat or drink things, but sometimes I also wonder why people even make certain treats. This Flamin' Hot Mountain Dew is a prime example.

Why Do Cups Work So Well

 

While writing this review a thought came across my mind, why does the cup work so well with peanut butter and chocolate? More importantly, why don't more companies make treats in a cup shape? I feel like a Snickers or Oh Henry cup would be pretty tasty and unique. You might even try to make some gummy cups? It's just really weird how one company makes almost all of the cup shaped treats, and it's almost always just peanut butter and chocolate.

Cookies and Pretzels

Sometimes I think pretzels could qualify as the perfect cookies. I feel like you can do just about anything to a pretzel that you can do to a cookie, in some cases even more. Dip a pretzel in icing, no problem. Cover a pretzel in peanut butter, yup. Cover a pretzel in chocolate, an excellent idea. The thing that makes pretzels unique is that you can also dip them in mustard and it works great too. Pretzels really are the ultimate cookie, and they're not even really cookies. This week's new candy review is proof that the pretzel needs to be reclassified.

Find out why the pretzel needs to a fresh designation.
