Sugar Savvy

I love discovering chocolate I’ve never seen before, so I was very excited to notice these strangely shaped bars in an almost hidden box in the shelf of a grocery store I rarely visit. Sounds like a perfect setup for finding a mysterious chocolate, doesn’t it? It’s a company from Toronto called Theobroma Chocolat (In […]

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 […]

Guittard is one of those chocolate companies you start to hear more about once you dive into the chocolate and candy world a little more than your average candy eater. I didn’t really become aware of them until my love of candy went from “enjoy” to “enthusiasm.” Guittard works a little more behind the scenes […]

There’s a lot to be said about intention, especially if it is positive. I’ve heard so many times that how we go through life is all about attitude and how we intend to see things. If we keep a positive outlook, we experience positive things. I’ve always considered gifts of sweets and chocolate to be […]

Taza Chocolate made it onto my radar via my friends Justin and Nana, who highly recommended it. Unfortunately, because they’re a small artisan company, the chocolate isn’t that widely sold in stores, and shipping chocolate gets expensive, so I resigned myself to waiting until the next time I went home (probably after graduation) to try […]

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. […]

Easter signaled the end of the candy season until Halloween, and Easter candy sales were the last chance to stock up on favorites until next year.  Every year I look forward to making the rounds and picking up some of my favorite Easter cand,y as well as trying out a few new things I would […]

Have you ever eaten a Thingamajig?  Have you ever seen one?  Chances are you may not even know it existed.
A Thingamajig is a limited edition candy bar made by Hershey’s similar in style to the Whatchamacallit.  The Whatchamacallit label reads “peanut flavor crisp, caramel, and rich chocolatey […]

I’m sure I left y’all on the edge of your computer chairs last time when I promised weird Japanese Kit Kat reviews. Here are the remaining three in order of escalating weirdness:

Apple and chocolate aren’t an unheard of combination, but I’ve not enjoyed it in the past. In the Kit Kat iteration, it’s less bad, […]
