Sugar Savvy

I’m always on the lookout for a new source for unique gifts, even better if they’re food-related.  Although the Sugar Savvy team hasn’t taste-tested these babies yet, the Funky Chunky bunch is now on our radar. 
The folks at Funky Chunky offer a nice selection of popcorn and pretzel items in clear glass jars that make […]

I am on a quest to find the “perfect malt ball;” a malt ball with a nice milk chocolate coating (real milk chocolate) and a light crispy (not powdery) malt center that will satisfy my cravings.  Alas, my quest has remained unfruitful to date.
You see, I find that there is always one missing component; for […]

I love Whole Foods, yet don’t go in as much as I used to since there isn’t one too, too near my home.  When I do get to stop in, I make sure I take my time.  Recently, I went to pick up flowers for a friend staying in one the nearby Atlanta hospitals.  Before […]

I was surprised at the show of self control I exercised while in Costco, walking past a giant bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranates.  Pomegranates… a huge weakness for this girl!  Nonetheless, I wasn’t at the store for me. I was there for work… work, I had to keep thinking work.
Then, it was onto […]

I like it when candy catches my attention, as it’s made to stand out with its brightly colored packaging, fun shapes and delicious flavors. Sour Punch Straws have fallen under my radar again in the past few days, as I’ve been seeing them in the news and on a few commercials on TV. My new […]

This candy bar is one that always made me chuckle when I heard of it. Really, does one need the suggestion to eat more? Pul-eeze. I am already plenty talented in that department. A sweet friend of mine sent one to me from Canada, since that’s Eat-More’s preferred habitat.
There is little known about Eat-More’s origins. […]

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical when I saw Bali’s Best Green Tea Latte Candy.  I am not a huge fan of green tea, and am more of a drink-it-because-it’s-good-for-you girl.  So the thought of the drink in hard candy form?  For $1.99 for 42 pieces, I thought it was worth a […]

I don’t know about other areas, but Cold Stone Creamery is loved here in Atlanta.  The “Ultimate Ice Cream Experience” is popping up everywhere.  Well, that is fabulous for those who are not lactose intolerant.  Me?  Even thinking about ice cream makes me ill. But, I do love my candy.  You can imagine my excitement […]

One of the memories that stand out the most in my head, growing up in an Italian family, is Torrone.  Torrone was/is nougat perfection (in my opinion).  Typically made from a blend of honey, sugar, egg white, and toasted nuts, I distinctly remember my grandma having the little rectangular boxes with the soft confection spread […]

I was utterly delighted when I received a sample of these in the mail from Just Born. I first remember seeing them in my friend’s Flickr photos, then Cybele gave them a wonderful review. I had reviewed an assortment of spice beans by Just Born for CandyAddict at about the same time, and I realized […]
