Cereal As Candy

 This Sugar Crisp commercial not only brags about their candy coating, but even suggest eating it as a candy.

These Gummies Where Super, But Mostly In Name Only

It's kind of surprising how few candies there are in the world based on video games. It feels like there's still a leaning towards movies and television when it comes to theming candy. This is strange because from what I understand, the video game world is much more lucrative than movies and television. While I feel like there are still more television and film related candies out there, I will agree that the number of candy themed video game treats is increasing, and it's a matter of time till it overshadows.

Check out my latest video game themed candy treat.

That Candy Is Twisted... On Purpose

 

I've never really looked into the history of Twizzlers, but I have a lot of questions about the shape. Was Twizzlers the first candy to be this shape? What does a floppy, twisted candy have to do with licorice? While we're on the subject, what's the deal with red licorice, it's not really licorice, but it kind of is now. There are a lot of questions that I feel like someone at Twizzlers could answer, but I'm kind of convinced they never will.

Find out what I thought about this twisted treat.

Also make sure to check out Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to see any of my twisted posts.

You can also pick up my book that isn't that twisted, but it's a little weird.

Easter Reviews Are Coming In

While writing this review a thought crossed my mind. What's the best holiday for candy? I'm talking about the best quality candies and not the most candies. I would also have to add that the candies have to be unique to that holiday, so that means that a Kit Kat bar cannot count for Halloween. The more I thought about it the more I think I'm leaning towards Easter. While the selection of Easter treats is more limited than many holidays, the fact that high quality chocolate is a big ingredient plays to its favour.

Check out my first of many Easter reviews for this week.

Gummies Of Every Shape and Colour

 

I've always felt that the gummy is one of if not the best candy for creating fun designs. I feel like gummies can be just about any size, shape or colour. If you really think about it, I feel like you can make just about anything out of gummy. The reason I don't think you see more varieties of shapes and colours is that it's expensive to make your first batch of gummies. You really need industrial equipment to make gummies, small candy shops often stick with things like chocolate because they're easier to make in small quantities. Maybe some day the technology will start to allow small companies to make their own gummies, and maybe then we'll see some amazing gummy art.

This week's new review is okay, but not as creative as I'd hoped, but you can read more about it here.
