I kinda can’t deal with how good Emily’s Dark Chocolate Covered blueberries are. They’re dangerously addictive. I am also surprised to say that they taste better than any other chocolate-covered blueberry product I have eaten in Maine, a place where blueberries are revered and served in a seemingly endless permutation of delicious options.

Candy lovers everywhere rejoiced this June in honor of National Candy Month.  Did you celebrate?
