Eat with your Eyes: Sarotti
Sarotti is a classic German chocolate maker, founded by Hugo Hoffmann in 1868. The company is currently owned by Stollwerck (which started as a cough drop company and expanded into confectionery) which was in turn owned by Bernard Callebaut. Callebaut recently announced that it sold off Stollwerck to Baronie Group, which is based in Belgium. I picked up this little chocolate gem while in Germany, where the Sarotti brand is quite easy to find and moderately priced.

Eat with your Eyes: Vegan
A juicy slice of orange on a sunny summer day. This is a Goody Good Stuff vegan gummi (which technically means it’s a jelly, not a gummi). POSTED BY Cybele AT 1:17 pm Candy • Highlight • Photography • Comments (5) Monday, June 06, 2011
Eat with your Eyes: Pearlico
I have a hard time resisting pretty candy. This is a Haribo Pearlico drop. It’s a grainy licorice center covered in large, pearly nonpareils. POSTED BY Cybele AT 11:05 am Candy • Highlight • Photography • Comments (1) Wednesday, May 18, 2011
Eat with your Eyes: Update Bears
These are the new Haribo Saft Baeren ( Juice Bears). They come in a slightly different flavor list than the traditional Haribo Bears, like pear. They’re also made with natural food colorings. I’m a bit behind at my day job and won’t be able to update until next week, but I thought I could at least leave you with some tasty eye candy. Starting next week I’ll have copious coverage of the Sweets and Snacks Expo in Chicago. POSTED BY Cybele AT 11:49 am Candy • Highlight • Photography • Comments (7) Friday, May 13, 2011
Eat with your Eyes: Sugar Chicken
It’s just a barley sugar chicken. POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:46 am Candy • Highlight • Photography • Comments (5) Friday, May 06, 2011
Eat with your Eyes: German Dragees
I bought these Choceur Choco Dragees in Germany at an Aldi Sud market. They’re like M&Ms but have a stronger caramel milk flavor to them. They were also quite inexpensive and of course beautiful to look at even though they use all natural colorings. Thursday, April 28, 2011
Eat with your Eyes: Gummi Bear Rings
These are Trolli Gummi Bear-Rings. Yeah, just like the name says. POSTED BY Cybele AT 2:31 pm Candy • Highlight • Photography • Comments (2) Friday, April 22, 2011
Eat with your Eyes: National Jelly Bean Day
It’s National Jelly Bean Day and it’s fun that this year it falls on Good Friday, just before the high holy day of Jelly Beans, Easter. These jelly beans are from Jelly Belly. I got them at the ISM Cologne candy fair and they’re a little different from something you’d get in North America, they’re Mooncake Jelly Belly. Mooncakes are little Chinese pastries, a filled cake that sometimes has lotus seed paste but I’ve seen them more often here in the Los Angeles Chinatown with red bean paste. These jelly beans have an odd flavor to them that took a while to describe. They’re sweet and have a toasted marshmallow component but also have a floral musk melon and watermelon note. Then the red bean flavors come out with the center of the bean, an earthier flavor. As far as jelly beans go, this combination is a winner for me. Jelly Belly not only makes gourmet jelly beans for the American market, they’re quite easy to find in large metropolitan areas. I saw many candy stores in Amsterdam and Cologne had them. Jelly Belly has one factory outside of the United States, in Thailand, where I think these were made. I was told that they’re not available in the United States. I guess it’s just one more reason to travel the world. POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:44 am Candy • Jelly Belly • Highlight • Photography • Comments (2)
