Sugar Savvy

When I was in NY, I made sure I went to the Chelsea Market and visited the stores I have come to love.  Chelsea Market Baskets has a really cute gifts and specialty foods.  While there, I picked up a couple of chocolate bars.  One was a 3½ ounce bar of Casa Don Puglisi Pure […]

I think I found my new go-to delish bar.  Cafe Tasse Noir Praline called to me from the shelf it sat on in the store, and has continued to do so since I opened the “chic sober packaging.” Yes, you read correctly… chic sober. According to the website, the chic sober packaging is the result […]

I had the pleasure of “meeting” John Montini through blogging some time back, as he and I are in the same virtual baking group.  Well, our little group participated in a baking day late last month which resulted in baked goods being shipped to each group member.  I was the recipient of John’s cookies. Oh, […]

Since I began contributing to Well Fed, my mind seems to not shut off.  I am always making mental notes when I am out and about.  That includes random trips down side aisles in stores I peruse. While in a Walmart candy aisle one morning, I noticed a thin rectangle box with a chocolate river […]

Valentine’s Day is just a couple of days away and red hearts and flowers are front-and-center in many stores.  I prefer to stay low key on holidays in general, so I get a little annoyed with all the in-your-face promotions that go along with any celebratory day.  Nonetheless, I am a girl and like someone […]

Recently, I came across the pack of Harry & David Milk Chocolate Gingerbread Truffles I purchased before the holidays and obviously hid from myself.  And, with good reason. The truffles are sinfully delicious.  They have a thin milk chocolate outside, a creamy texture milk chocolate center, and a small, crunch gingerbread center.  Rich in flavor, […]

The one thing I learned about taking a little road trip on Christmas Day is that nothing is open except for the occasional gas station and Waffle House.  So what happens when you’re so hungry could eat anything and everything you see?  You grab for whatever calls your name in the gas station’s quick mart.
Among […]

Ever hear of Galerie?  I hadn’t until I came across a ½ ounce package of Candy Snowflakes hanging on an end cap in CVS, of all places. I must admit my disappointment when trying to research the product.  I am not impressed by their website.  Maybe I am going to the wrong place. The website […]

Lollyphile, a candy company in San Francisco and the creation of Jason Lewis, is going out on a limb and bringing lollipops to another level.  According to their website, Lollyphile expresses that they ”believe candy can be every bit as much a gastronomical adventure as a fancy dinner, and we want to see just how far we […]

No - I didn’t mean like that!  My mom reads this, for goodness sake! But, trick or treating isn’t just for kids.  Adults often love the festive time and have parties to go to as well.  Why not be creative in preparing a candy bucket for the party host/hostess?
As the sun sets early and the weather […]
