Sugar Savvy

The February Saveur that hit mailboxes this week features their annual 100.  This is the issue in which they list 100 favorite food-related items, including, but not limited to,“foods, restaurants, drinks, people, places and things.”  I look forward to this one every year – sometimes seeing items that I thought were my own private joys, […]

Among See’s Candies’ more than 100 candy offerings are Gourmet Lollypops, kind of a square sucker.  Square, dense and full of flavor, these candies-on-a-stick are long-lasting treats that appeal to kids and adults alike. 
My husband and I celebrated the birth of our sons by passing out assorted flavors of these lollypops (which is how See’s Candies […]

Ever since I tasted my first Haribo Gold bears, and was introduced Haribo Tangfastics (a sour mix), Haribo is on my list of go-to candies. A perfect texture in combination with sour and fruity flavors, it trumps most other sour gummies. Amongst the collection that I currently have are: Fruity Pasta, Sour S’ghetti and Fizzy […]

I hit the after-Christmas sales and bought two limited editions: York Vanilla Mint Patties and Kit Kat Mint Dark Chocolate.

There is a new confection behind the glass counters at See’s Candies and your intrepid reporter felt it was her duty to fully investigate it.
The Beverly is the first new milk chocolate covered candy I’ve seen at See’s Candies in a while.  The name Beverly gave no clue to its components, so it was whisked back […]

Some friends brought some chocolate back from France. The two chocolates came in a pink little purse box. The box is very cute, and they have other cute packaging options. The Fauchon site describes the two chocolate as
 
Gianduja - a chocolate candy made with milk chocolate and hazelnut
Carre Or - milk chocolate cube with a […]

According to a story I spotted in the Columbus Dispatch, it looks like chocolate might just become a pricier indulgence in 2007.  Cocoa prices have gained in London after a breakdown in peace talks between rebels and the government of the Ivory Coast, who just happens to be the world’s largest producer of beans.  London […]

Times of merriment and gluttony are already becoming a distant memory - The side dishes devoured, gingerbread house picked clean; all that remains are those dirty dishes, and perhaps a bit of extra “holiday cheer” around the hips. After so much excess, the last thing I would want to do is tempt you with some […]
