This Week in Candy - Candy is better when you sleep in your own bedIf you’ve already entered my candy drawing, you should definitely go enter Candy Addict’s. He has far more candy that I’ve got, so it should be a windfall for all FOUR winners.
X-Entertainment marks the beginning of Candy Season with their first haul of Halloween Candy. If that’s not enough to get you through to the sales that start on the day after, check out their huge archives that go back years and years. Buzzle has up a list of the 10 Great Moments in the History of Chocolate. Of course any top ten list will generate comments. I’m pretty sure Hershey should be on there, mostly because it was when chocolate became accessible to the masses and large-scale production techniques were applied to what had been a rather upscale artisan product. But there are other things left out of there as well. Tasty Show (mostly chocolate) attended the Chocolate and Beer pairing sponsored by Cote d’Or at All Candy Expo. (I would have put this in my roundup, but it was posted on the same day and I didn’t see it.) Jessica posts on Su Good Eats about a new chocolate maker in the US called Askinosie ... definitely on my list now!
I also got to watch my niece and nephew try out a bunch of the All Candy Expo candies. The biggest hit with the two of them seemed to be the Candy Stampers that Concord makes. They’re a compressed dextrose disk that has a little shape on it and lots and lots of food coloring. You wet it on your tongue and then stamp the shape on your skin, or paper, or whatever. They seemed most interested in stamping their tongues.
I’m so happy to be home but haven’t even really looked at all my candy yet, I’ve just been trying to respond to your requests for the new candies revealed at the All Candy Expo. Monday: Tootsie Rolls & Fruit Rolls (5 out of 10) Tuesday: Chewy Lemonheads & Atomic Fireballs (7 out of 10 & 8 out of 10) Wednesday: Skittles Chocolate Mix (5 out of 10) Thursday: Pop Rocks Milk Chocolate Bar (7 out of 10) Friday: Junior Mints Deluxe (7 out of 10) Average rating: 6.27 ... 29% chocolate content.
