This Week in Candy - I’m Going to Meet All the Candy Bloggers
She also gave me a wonderful selection of four chocolates by Xocolatl de David. I’ve gobbled them up without taking their picture or reviewing them. (I’m sure I’ll have them again and do some coverage.) Mmmm ... dark and scorched fleur de sel caramels coated in rich chocolate. I definitely have to visit Portland one of these days. As another update, the winner for the Ultimate Candy Expo Box was Kimberly. It was a little warm in both our locations last week, so I’m boxing up a list of her top requests and a bunch of other stuff to send off on Monday. There were 537 valid entries (a few doubles on the comment thread and a few that came in via email). I’m kind of 21st century in my drawing method. I export the entire list to an spreadsheet. Sort it (in this case by email address) and then have a random number generator tell me which entry won. I’m thinking about running another giveaway, this time filled with Limited Edition items (some you may have loved, many you may have hated!). Any thoughts?
Chew on That has their monthly roundup of answers from bloggers. October’s topic is “What is the one thing in your refrigerator or pantry that you cannot live without?” As I’m not the cook in my household, my answer isn’t an ingredient, just something I eat. Monday: Reese’s Whipps (4 out of 10) Tuesday: Java Twix (8 out of 10) Wednesday: Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Kisses (5 out of 10) Thursday: GudFud Stuffed Marshmallows (6 out of 10) Friday: Chocolate Poppers (6 out of 10) Healthy Friday Bonus: Welch’s Fruit ‘n Yogurt Snacks (6 out of 10) Weekly average was 5.833 with 50% chocolate content.

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.I love trying limited edition candy, so I’d be all for a giveaway!
Yeah, you sure did jabber on about candy. As did I. Wasnt’ that the point? Like you, I so rarely get to discuss candy with people who don’t think my level of enthusiasm for it borders on pathological or obsessed. It is so comforting to know there are others who stroll through the candy aisle at World Market, just to “check-in” and see what’s new, without necessarily buying anything. I did the same thing at Walgreen’s today.
Thanks for the tour and hospitality - it was great meeting you. Pacific Northwest candies (and Xocolatl de David) await your visit!
Thanks for linking to us Cybele! I’m so glad you participated. Can’t wait for next month’s answer, but you’ll have to wait for the question
Who wouldn’t want another candy giveaway? In case you’d like to skip the contest and just ive it all to me, I’d be happy to send you my address.
There are probably at least 536 of us who would endorse another giveaway… :^)
I would love to participate in another candy giveaway..lol!
Count me IN!!
Okay! I’m gathering some Lt. Ed. candies (The Java Twix, Tropical Tootsie Pops, Coconut 100 Grand, Peanut 100 Grand, Elvis Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups ...).
Now I just need to figure out the contest ... should it be a drawing, some sort of trivia quiz or challenge?
