Here's a few secrets, from the folks that brought us Chunky Monkey.
Peeps are no longer going to be around just for Easter, a new year round version is coming.
Many things have spilled out of trucks into the highways of the world, including 40,000 lbs of ice cream and a massive load of corn dogs.
A new record for the most Girl Scout cookies sold in one year was achieved, and she didn't even visit my house.
I had always thought of hard core candy fans as being the minority in the candy eating world, apparently we make up a pretty decent percentage.
Sweet potato cookies might be the next big trend in North America, but they've been making treats with these for a long time in Asia.

It's Girl Scout cookie season again, here's a few facts that you may not have known about these iconic cookies.
Did you know that there are schools specifically for people that want to study the art of making candy, I think I might enroll in the Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts.
Ever wonder how they make Cheetos? After reading this, I wondered how they were invented and who came up with this idea.
Popcorn and the movies really go hand in hand, and there's a really interesting history that would make a great movie.
Did you know that Coca-Cola produced a special cola for Gen X? The man was attempting to stick it back on us.
"Kids These Days (Are Smoking Fun-Dip And Smarties)", I wish this headline wasn't so literal.
You would be amazed at the science behind roasting cocoa beans, every detail, even wind velocity, is taken into account.
Here's a great collection of silly chip storage options, some are strange but clever, others are just strange.
I don't normally like to post recipes on this site, but I have a craving for root beer, and some of these sound really tasty.
Do you really want your gum to help increase the health of your bones?
I'm a big fan of home made food atrocities, including this giant Gushers candy made of Fruit Roll Ups, Fruit by the Food, and regular sized Gushers.

Rules For Selling Girl Guide Cookies
I just read an interesting article that talks about the etiquette of selling Girl Guide Cookies. I have to say the first paragraph of the article
"This is the time of year when the Girl Scouts offer up Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, Lemon Chalet Cremes and Samoas – ah, Samoas, with their mad scientist blend of rich chocolate, delicate shortbread, gooey caramel and chewy coconut!"
makes me think of one more rule that should be heavily enforced. Always make sure that if you have a box of cookies, share some with your favorite Candy Critic.
