This would then allow more of the cheezie or chip coating to go into my mouth, and that make me happy.

My Candy/Junk Food Chrsitmas Wishlist - 3D Chocolate Printer

Up until now I've been posting some pretty simple "stocking stuffers", but if you really want to impress a Candy Critic on Christmas, this is the perfect gift. Why settle for average bars of chocolate when you can have any shape you want.

My Candy/Junk Food Chrsitmas Wishlist - Cream Whipper

I can't tell you how much I love whipped cream. I'm actually a bit of a whipped cream snob, and I don't really like the stuff in a tub or in a can.  I love real whipped cream made from nothing but high fat cream. The problem is I don't like the act of whipping it, by hand or with a mixer.  This is why the perfect gift for me would be a fancy cream whipper.

A Chip Eating Candy Thing

While these look like they'd keep my fingers clean, they do look fairly complicated to lick clean.

A Cool Candy Thing

I just picked up one of these Thermo Works thermometers and I can't wait to try it out for making candy and other temperature important sweet treats.  Any candy maker will tell you that knowing the temperature of your candy or chocolate is the key to making the perfect sweet treats.  In fact, I've watched some of the best candy makers in the world, who have been making candy for longer than I've been alive, and they still use thermometers all the time.  I'm hoping that this new fancy thermometer works really well, and I'm thinking I might start out with some maple peanut brittle.

A Cool Christmas Gingerbread Thing

All this month I've been posting all about some crazy and un-orthodox gingerbread house making gadgets.  Today I'm going to bring up another possibly sensitive subject, gingerbread things other than men/women, and houses.  Would Christmas be the same if you didn't have a gingerbread house?  Would the festive season work if there wasn't a large cookie house to destroy?  I would like to argue that yes, yes it would.  In fact this gingerbread train not only looks great, but it also has a coal car in the back.  What's so great about a coal car you may ask?  It's simple, that's a great place to fill up with all kinds of Christmas treats.  This way you not only have a gingerbread creation to enjoy, but you also have an awesome candy bowl that you can eat.

A Cool Candy Thing

You would probably think that a Snicker's bar key chain would be a pretty cool thing to have, and you'd be right.  But what if that key chain could also have a flashlight built into it as well?  Well my friend, it really seems like this is your lucky day.

Lindt Has More Than Just Chocolate This Year

Last week I posted a link to a list of Valentines treats available this year from Lindt, however that's not all they have to offer.  This year, it looks like Lindt is pulling out all of the stops and offering a whole bunch of online gadgets and widgets to make your holiday just right.  My personal favorite is the "Indulgence" tab they've designed for Facebook that tells all of your friends and family what treat might make your Valentines Day.

Packaging Machines Look So Cool

In a recent post I put up on the cool packaging offered by TCHO this past Valentines Day got a response from “Pink of Health” with a link attached to it that was really interesting. The link went to a site that offered food packaging machines and information about them. The nerd in me really loves looking at these marvels and it reminds me how much I love visiting candy (and other food) factories.

Don’t Eat So Fast

Apparently there’s a dinner plate that keeps track of how fast you’re eating. It gives you a warning to let you know that you’re stuffing your face too quickly. Seems like a good idea particularly at my house on Taco night.
