Eat with your Eyes: RichartI don’t remember what flavors these Richart Petits were, but they were cute as buttons.

Eat with your Eyes: CucuIf there’s a kind of candy that I buy and rarely review, it’s Japanese products. Here’s one of them, it’s called Cucu, it’s a milky hard candy flavored with green tea, and then filled with a little pocket of matcha (green tea powder).
The pieces were just too cute, little cubes, about the size of a hazelnut in the shell but with flat sides. Here’s what the package looked like. POSTED BY Cybele AT 5:12 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Sunday, February 21, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Jersey MilkAs Canada is hosting the Winter Olympics, my thoughts have turned to all the wonderful Canadian candies the athletes and spectators must have access to. Canada has great candy, a wonderful mix of American, British and French confectionery traditions along with their own innovations.
Neilson’s Jersey Milk is one of those uniquely Canadian chocolate bars. Here’s a fun peek at a display of them from the 70s at a store. I photographed this bar and had a bite of it, but several days later before I got a chance to eat it, it got melted. Makes me jealous of Canada and how they don’t have that problem as often as us Southern Californians do.

Eat with your Eyes: Chiroru Goen Ga Aruyo ChocolateWinter holidays mean chocolate money. As a kid I think I was more fascinated with the chocolate coins and the foil impressions than the chocolate itself. (This isn’t surprising as most chocolate coins are just terrible.) I found a cute alternative to the gold foil stuff in the little mesh bags. This Japanese version comes packaged in little plastic sleeves, not foil though. But still, the result out of the wrapper is impressive.
Sadly the product itself, made by Tirol, is mockolate. Pretty to look at, but not terribly tasty. Package photo if you wanted to try to find these. POSTED BY Cybele AT 6:29 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Friday, February 19, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Hiding EggsEaster Candy season is upon us. I’ve spent the past week or so visiting all the drug stores and discounters to see what’s new. (Photos here.)
Hiding Eggs are those huge marshmallow candies like jelly beans but with a fluffed and grainy center. I don’t like eating them, but they’re definitely pretty. POSTED BY Cybele AT 5:06 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Thursday, February 18, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Orange Dark Chocolate ShellsI love foil wrapped chocolates. I love it even more when the wrapping is off and what’s underneath is still just as pretty.
These orange flavored dark chocolate scallop shells were just that. Shiny and sweet and orangey. POSTED BY Cybele AT 5:09 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Acorn filled with SquirrelsThis foil-wrapped acorn was hollow in the back and held a little package of molded chocolate squirrels.

Eat with your Eyes: Choceur Choco & BiscuitAnother Aldi find from last year. They’re simple little chocolate covered biscuits.
The individual fingers are pretty generous and the milk chocolate was glossy and satisfying with a good dark note.
