Candy Review Policy

Would you like to know what I think of your candy?

Are you up to the challenge?

Here are my guidelines:
1. It must be candy. No cookies, no savory snacks, no beverages, no ingredients (cocoa, sugar, drink mixes, sprinkles, etc.).
2. It must be widely available. It�s frustrating for the readers if I rave about something, but they can only get it by visiting one shop that has no website or won�t ship. (You can send it before your webstore is set up, just let me know and I�ll hold the review until then.)
3. No artificial sweeteners. No walnuts. (Don�t approve of them, allergic to them, respectively.)
4. At least two portions for photographing and tasting. Snack sized items are just fine. (This is flexible, depending on the type of packaging - if I can excise a portion from the package to photograph in front of the package, one will do just fine.)

Should you want to send me something, I reserve the right to give the product a bad review or never include it on the blog at all. Any products given to me are for me to dispose of as I wish (including giving them away to my readers). During busy periods, it may take me up to six weeks to post about new items. In the interest of transparency, I will always tell my readers where the samples came from.

What you get in return:
1. Exposure to a wide audience of consumers that are already predisposed to buying candy. (contact me for most recent traffic figures, feed subscriptions and Google Page Rank, success stories, blah, blah, blah)
2. Placement in the extensive Candy Blog archives which are crawled by search engines constantly.
3. Linking by other Candy Blogs, food blogs and websites.
4. Commentary and feedback from readers.

Please for shipping information.

Candy, you know, that stuff made with sugar. These are my candy reviews. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

FEATURED STORIES

Saturday’s East Bay Chocolate
I hit another bunch of stores in the Oakland area. Mostly chocolate, of course. Michael Mischer, Charles Chocolates (oddly enough because I needed more marmalade), Sweet Dreams and Bittersweet Cafe. (more)

Friday’s San Francisco Candy Adventure
My day in San Francisco was four hours of candy shopping in four stops and seven shops. Chocolate, licorice, gummis, hard candies, truffles ... even one hot chocolate and I got the city covered. (more)

Thursday Candy Trippin’
On Thursday I drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco and spent almost $125 on candy, coffee, gasoline and chocolate. (more)

The Easiest Chocolate Pudding (not quite from scratch)
I just discovered that I can just add some corn starch to my favorite drinking chocolate, heat and stir to create a decadent, fresh chocolate pudding. (more)

Candy Blog’s Happy 3rd Anniversary
Today begins my fourth year as the keeper of the Candy Blog. Here’s a little history of how it started and perhaps where it’s going. (more)
