Eat with your Eyes: L.A. BurdickA couple of years ago I placed an order with L.A. Burdick just before Easter. (Full set of photos here.)
I ordered a box of Chocolate Crispy Eggs.
It contained a little milky plastic box with four eggs, two in dark chocolate and one in white and one in milk.
The chocolate eggs are about the size of a small chicken egg and are filled with a rich, creamy and not-too-sweet gianduia (chocolate/hazelnut cream) and some little crispies (kind of like corn flakes).

Eat with your Eyes: Sugar Twist
An all natural Hammond’s lollipop. How simple, just a little boiled sugar and corn syrup and a lot of work. (Review was here.) POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:15 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Thursday, March 25, 2010

Eat with your Eyes: Quax is BackYes, he actually floats. It’s hard to buy more glee for a dollar, you don’t actually have to eat him to enjoy him. (See last year’s review.)

Eat with your Eyes: Groder
I picked up these foil wrapped treats in San Francisco as an alternative to Caffarel. Not quite as good but still charming and tasty. POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:13 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Sunday, March 21, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: 100% Honey
I’ve picked up these 100% Honey drops a couple of times now at the Japanese market. They’re beautiful and quite tasty. It’s a hard candy made of boiled honey, pretty simple. The flavor is deep and malty, much darker tasting than liquid honey. The price is usually quite right, around $3.00, which in the realm of cough drops is pretty reasonable. (Honey is supposed to be a very effective and all natural cough treatment.) Picture of the package here.

Eat with your Eyes: Hazelnut Vegan BitesLast weekend I went to ExpoWest, which is a natural products trade show held in Anaheim. There are about 30 choccolate or candy companies that display there so I try to stop by for a few hours during the show to check out the new treats. This year I saw that Sjaak’s, the California-based chocolatier that’s Fair Trade, Organic and often Vegan had some new items.
These little floral shaped bites are Hazelnut. Amazingly they’re also vegan - so no dairy products in there even though it’s “milky.” The chocolate is smooth, the hazelnut flavors are pretty bold. (I think a darker chocolate option would be fun, too.) POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:13 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography •
