BonBon Bars: Malt, Orange and Pumpkin Pie


I’ve been a reader of Nina’s blog of Sweet Napa for a long time, as it’s always fun to see what other sweet-tooth driven individuals are up to. I’ve known of her BonBon Bars for some time, but haven’t had the motivation to try them.
During a trip to Los Angeles this past summer, I visited […]

Brach’s Gummi Candy Corn


It’s always so sad during the first few days past Halloween. The anticipation is gone, the costumes are gone, that wonderful haunted feeling…. gone. The candy isn’t though, thankfully!

The Natural Confectionary Co’s Fruit Chews Review


I love trying new candy. So when the opportunity to trade with a fellow candy lover in Australia came up, I knew I had to jump on it. Out of the many treats I received, this small packed of The Natural Confectionery Co’s Fruit Chews was amongst them.
I found the simple and child-like packaging interesting […]

My Favorite Candy: Sera Gencarelli


As a candy enthusiast, I am just enamored with confectionery. As much as I love trying as many new kinds that I can, there’s a few types of candy that I find myself returning to just because I love it that much. I can’t narrow it down to a specific candy bar or brand, but I […]
