Sugar Savvy

My last trip to World Market resulted in a lot of random items in my bag, including Wii Gum. Part of my impulse shopping happened while completing my walk through and observing that Halloween and other fall items were being displayed. (See, it’s all their fault I spent too much money! Ha! That’s my story and I am stickin’ to it.) One of the items that helped itself into my basket was Pumpkin Crunch, a bag of sweet crunchy goodness from the South Bend Chocolate Company. 

Perfect to put around the house when you’re having guests over, or to simply munch on, it’s sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.  It can work in any fall tablescape.  The caramel corn tastes like … caramel corn.  Honestly, nothing special.  The difference was that the kernels covered in orange chocolate - that’s pumpkin flavored, I think.  Whatever it is… yum! The crunch mix also includes chocolate covered peanuts.  The combination of the three, the caramel corn, pumpkiny chocolate covered kernels, and chocolate covered peanuts made my mouth water at each nibble. 

It is a very sweet mix.  If you’re not a sugar lover, you may get a bit of a sugar headache.  I could only eat a little at one time.  But, I loved every minute of it!
