This Week in Candy - Novelties

I’m hard at work these days on a novel that you’ll never, ever read. (I do this every year as November is National Novel Writing Month.)

Last year’s novel was about candy, this year’s is about whale watching, or at least so far. So that’s how I’m spending my spare time these days (not that I have a lot of that ... it’s Candy Season!).

I’m also participating in National Blog Posting Month, which is a challenge to post to your blog at least once a day. Most readers know I pretty much post six times a week. So in November you’ll get 7 for the price of 6!

Let’s see what happened this week besides Halloween and the wonderful Post-Halloween Sales!

Monday: Big Mo’ Bars: Peanut Butter & Creamy Caramel (4 out of 10)

Tuesday: Andes Mints & Dessert Indulgence (6 out of 10 & 4 out of 10)

Wednesday: Mentos Xtrm: Mint & Spearmint (6 out of 10)

Thursday: Bratz Candy Cosmetics (5 out of 10, 3 out of 10 & 4 out of 10)

Friday: Kenny’s Licorice Pastels & Root Beer Twists (4 out of 10 & 7 out of 10)

Weekly average: 4.7 with a total chocolate content of 18% ... hmm, the lower the chocolate content, the lower my weekly average. I may be onto something here.

Meticulously photographed and documented reviews of candy from around the world. And the occasional other sweet adventures. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

FEATURED NEWS ITEMS

Eat with your Eyes: 100% Honey
I love honey and will sometimes eat it by the spoonful. These hard candies are a more portable version. (more)

Eat with your Eyes: Hazelnut Vegan Bites
There are so many great vegan and socially responsible chocolates out there now, there’s little reason to compromise when picking up a treat. Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates does a great job of bringing together contemporary and classic flavors that fit into their philosophy. (more)

Eat with your Eyes: Easter Dots
Easter Dots are just about the same flavor set as the regular year-round Dots but far more vivid. Would that be reason enough to pick them up? (more)
