Eat with your Eyes: Coco Chocolate
I picked up these artisan candy coated chocolate lentils at the Fancy Food Show. They’re from the Artist’s Collection at Coco Chocolate from the United Kingdom. The box is clever and attractive and of course the lentils are made with good quality chocolate. They’re kind of like a flattened version of Cadbury Mini Eggs.

Eat with your Eyes: Pink Pop
Pink, pink, pink and pink. I reviewed these Hammond Pops before (this one was cherry). POSTED BY Cybele AT 10:26 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Friday, April 9, 2010
Candy Blog Turns 5 Years OldFive years ago some good friends exchanged their vows. During the reception I was talking with some of the other guests at our table about chocolate. Someone remarked that I seemed really passionate about candy and I should blog about it. I went home that night and started a blog. Here it is, five years later and I’ve reviewed at least 1,500 individual candies and tasted probably 5,000 during my travels and attendance at trade shows. There’s still lots more to see, taste and review.
So thank you, sweet readers. I probably wouldn’t have continued if the blog did not grow as it has, the fact that you’re here, reading and responding really makes it worthwhile. As a big thank you I’m doing some redesign work that I think you will enjoy (such as adding a spot where you can give candies your own 1-10 rating, make custom lists in your profile of favorite candies and better search features). As a small thank you, I have a $50 gift certificate for Think Geek where you can spend way too much for novelty candy. To enter the drawing just leave a comment here by Monday, April 12, 2010 at 9 AM Pacific PDT telling me what your favorite post on the blog is. A random commenter will be chosen and will receive a digital gift certificate valued at $50. Anyone can win though I don’t know how useful it’d be if you’re outside of North America. Oh, and happy 5th anniversary to Robin & Amy! UPDATE April 12, 2010 5:32 PM PDT: Congratulations to Jeny! She was chosen at random from all unique comments received. I’ve already sent her the digital gift certificate for Think Geek. POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:50 am Behind the Scenes • Candy • CANDY BLOG • Fun Stuff • Thursday, April 8, 2010
Eat with Your Eyes: William Dean Chocolates
Creamy peanut butter base with shards of toffee topped with fresh jam then encased in a beautifully airbrushed milk chocolate shell. I would like a whole box of these now. The photoset of the whole box is here. POSTED BY Cybele AT 9:09 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Wednesday, April 7, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Pine Brothers Cough DropsActually, don’t eat these. They’re probably thirty years old. I really miss Pine Bros Throat Drops. They were glycerin cough drops, soothing and firm and slightly gummy after they softened up. They came in licorice and honey lemon.
UPDATE: Pine Bros did come back. You can find them in drug stores in two flavors. POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:05 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Tuesday, April 6, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Melty Minty
I wish they came without coloring, I avoid the pink ones because they have an aftertaste. (Luckily The Man picks up the slack.) POSTED BY Cybele AT 9:18 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Monday, April 5, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Stack
Caramel Creams are like cookie dough candy and less like caramels. They’re really filling so they make a great snack. (Original review here.) POSTED BY Cybele AT 7:59 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Sunday, April 4, 2010
Evil Easter Bunny
This large marshmallow bunny had fearsome fangs, but it wasn’t until I put him near this sweet and succulent baby bunny that I found out his true intentions. Yes, it’s true, there are vampire marshmallow Easter bunnies. Beware. (No, he doesn’t have those evil eyebrows, here’s the package.)
