All Candy Expo in a Box
As I mentioned before, the National Confectioners Association, which runs the All Candy Expo, sent me a box of goodies so I wouldn’t feel left out by not attending. The package says that it’s 20 lbs (last year I brought home 60 lbs ... but I think I ended up giving away about 20). It’s a fabulous assortment. While there are a few things that I’d never pick up for myself, things like jerky, chips, and many packages of gum, those quickly found homes. But there were also plenty of samples, full sized things, that I might not have been able to score by myself on the floor. Some other items I’ve already found in stores and reviewed here (Wonka Giant Chewy Nerds, Starburst Gummi Bursts, Figamajigs, Craves, and a few others). Here’s a small sampling of the items I’ll be able to talk about this week:
The bold ones are those that I’m planning reviews of (but ya never know). There are dozens of other items that were in the box, of course, but not things that are likely to be included on Candy Blog. The photos shown here are from a reader, Michael J. Hartman, who is working behind the scenes. These were taken on Saturday as everything was being loaded into the McCormick center for the show. Some of the very elaborate booths require cranes to assemble and of course days. You can check in here as I upload my photos on Flickr. Related Candies

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.My eyes glazed over the list, and rested only here:
Roca 60% Cacao Buttercrunch Thins
and here:
Peeps Chocolate Mousse.
I look forward to reports on both of the above.
I think I saw the Roca Buttercrunch Thins recently at Winco (big bulk discount grocery). Anyway, it was some Roca product I’d never seen, and in a rare moment of austerity, decided not to buy them. I should have.
happy to take anything new and different off your hands:). I wish more of the public were allowed to enter the show…
cheers
Have you tried the Darrell Lea licorice yet? I had some for the first time just now and it’s delicious!
