“NOT FOR GIRLS!” cries the wrapped of this infamous candy bar. It’s made by Nestle and sold only in the UK, as we folks in the US obviously don’t know how to take a joke, especially when it’s written on a candy bar. I’d seen this bar around for a long time, but had never […]

Leonidas was one of the treats from the UK that I haven’t heard of before. They’re not based in the UK either, as they’re a traditional Belgian chocolatier and are pretty widely distributed around the world. I feel this sampling of a few of their chocolate bars seems like a good indication of what kind […]

I first heard of Sucre back when I was still writing for CandyAddict. I was given a sampler of their bonbons to review for the site. Needless to say, I was impressed with their work. Now, fast forward to just a few days ago when I came home from work to find a box of […]

The Heksehyl was an extremely […]

I’ve always been a fan of Torrone even though I haven’t been able to eat it with great frequency. It was a frequent treat that was in my household during Christmas, and only because my Dad is crazy for the stuff. He’s receive a few bars as a gift and it would be gone by […]

I am excited to announce that Chocolove, one of my favorite chocolate companies, is holding a sweet contest to have their head chocolatier, Timothy Moley, create your fantasy chocolate bar. How sweet is that?
Go visit their website and there you can take their survey and describe what your fantasy chocolate bar would be. The drawing […]

One of the best things about the holidays is the new candy that gets released. Now that it’s November, I cannot help but look forward to Christmas, Valentine’s Day and beyond. Candy season is here!
