Sugar Savvy

Two varieties from the line of Endangered Species Chocolate were recently sent to review:
1. Dark Chocolate with Cranberries and Almonds
2. Extreme Dark (88%) and Supreme Dark (72%) Chocolate Bag of individually wrapped squares.

As I mention from time to time, I am quite fond of the Endangered Species Black Rhino bar, as well as the tangerine-infused […]

Living in Dallas, the temperature is still in the 90s not feeling like September. Besides ice cream on a hot day, popsicles are a tasty way to quench your taste buds and escape to childhood for a moment. My favorites are the cherry and strawberry flavors. Popsicle recently came out with slow melt popsicles and […]

I rarely have time to site down and watch television anymore. But last night, I did catch a bit of Jay Walking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - seriously, I can’t believe people are really that out of touch. One of the questions was to complete the sentence “There is no such thing […]

Yesterday, I wrote about the Violet Crumble. No raves, but a generally positive review. I should note that I actually tasted the Violet Crumble about a month ago, and my review of it was based on the notes that I took when I tasted it. I didn’t taste the Dark Sponge until a week ago, […]

The Violet Crumble is a chocolate bar from Australia. My friend Cassie bought one from me from a local toy store in Austin, and I finished it pretty quickly. I also noticed it on sale at Economy Candy, where a woman had about a dozen in her basket. I commented on how tasty it was, and […]

I have been searching for pomegranate Jelly Belly beans ever since Cybele from Candy Blog reviewed them. I checked all the Jelly Belly selling places that I could think of, but to no avail. Finally, I discovered them in an unexpected place: the hospital gift shop. My doctor has an office at the hospital, and […]

Gone are the days when I would sit happily with nothing more than a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. That isn’t to say that I don’t still love the stuff but I prefer it cut somehow, with chocolate or ice cream or certainly, chocolate ice cream.
Peanut butter filled products abound, so let’s get […]

There’s an Oreo craze going on at Baskin Robbins right now. The Oreo cookie is a favorite between some cookie and chocolate lovers. I like to eat mine the girlie way by licking the middle icing first then dipping the chocolaty sides one by one into a glass of cold milk. Then there is the […]

I had read about the Vosges Mo’s Bacon Bar (photo from Vosges website) at various candy review websites and had been dying to try it for myself. I mean, chocolate and bacon? How could that possibly taste good? I asked my friend Katie, who lives in Chicago, if she’d be willing to visit a Vosges […]
