For the Love of the Goo: Creme Egg Suicide

YumSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:18:31 -0800

You guys better run to the store and pick up some Cadbury Creme Eggs while you still can. Apparently all the eggs really want to do is "get their goo out." So much so that they're committing suicide in order to do it.

A new ad campaign in England shows Cadbury creme eggs melting themselves down with hairdryers, squashing themselves with books, and slicing themselves with egg slicers. All in order to "get the goo out." So do them a favor and eat them up first.

If you want to see all of the suicidal creme eggs in action, just read more.

Pimp That Cadbury Creme Egg

When I saw that a bunch of you were really into Cadbury Creme Eggs, I knew I had to share this pimped out Cadbury Creme Egg with you. The folks over at Pimp That Snack take everyday snacks and "pimp" them out. They've made giant Snickers bar, Kit Kats, Oreos and more.

The giant-sized creme egg used 1.5 kg (3.3 pounds) of chocolate and 3 pounds of sugar. If you want to try making your own, you're in luck, there are step by step instructions to help you out. Crack it open and dig in! And since regular Easter candy already has enough calories, I don't even want to know what this one contains...

It's Time to Gobble Up Limited Edition Easter Candy

YumSugar — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:29:31 -0800

I was checking out the Easter aisles at my local Target when I noticed a few limited edition candies. While there's a sea of pastel coated chocolates and speckled eggs, the newest trend seems to be citrus flavored chocolates. Cadbury brought back its Orange Creme Egg - first introduced last year - and Hershey's now has both orange and lemon creme flavored kisses. The orange has been available for the last few Easters, but I think this is the first time I've seen the lemon. Both are a bit like a dreamsicle, and neither of them contain chocolate.

Have you seen any limited edition candies in your store? If so, are you planning on buying any of them? What limited edition flavor do you think the candy companies should make?

The Sweet Scoop On Dylan Lauren, Candy Connoisseur

YumSugar — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 09:15:10 -0700

Earlier this week, candy collector Dylan Lauren - the fashionable founder of Dylan's Candy Bar and daughter of designer Ralph Lauren - offered some of her favorite ideas for making weddings a sweet occasion. We caught up with Lauren in person while she was in town at Neiman Marcus promoting her Barbie 50th Anniversary candy line. The candy entrepreneur took some time out of la dolce vita to talk to us about her favorite guilty pleasure and offer more suggestions for bringing candy into the party mix. Find out what they are when you read more.

YumSugar: How did your Barbie candy line come about?
Dylan Lauren: I was approached by Mattel to celebrate Barbie's 50th birthday, since we have the same audience: women ages five to 80, who collect Barbie and collect candy. Mattel had personified Barbie, and decided that she likes to shop at Dylan's Candy Bar.

YS: You've traveled a lot. Do you have favorite candies from other countries?
DL: Actually, in November and December, we'll be featuring candies from around the world: Clodhoppers from Canada, and Australian licorice, which is really chewy, and Kinder and Kinder eggs.

Foreign candy looks pretty, but it doesn't taste as good to me - for example, Japanese candy looks pretty but I don't like the way it tastes. I like Swedish Fish, gumballs, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and strawberry licorice laces. I don't like fancy stuff - I like basic basics.

YS: You've said that you're a visual person. How would you use candy as decoration when hosting and entertaining?
DL: Color-coordinate your house with candy. Now that it's Spring, pastels would be a great color scheme. You can also focus on shapes; there's a candy for everything. Our East Hampton candy store is full of ocean-themed candy. We recently did a fashion party where we featured chocolate high heels. Candy crafts - like making candy jewelry or using candy molds - are great activities, too.

YS: What about candy arrangements?
DL: I love to have a vase of jelly beans that have been layered with different rainbow colors, topped off with candy flowers, or lollipops of different sizes. They make great centerpieces!

Do you have any gift recommendations for Mother's Day?
DL: Barbie is mother-daughter themed, and such a collector's item. I also have my Re-Treat bath and body line. Or chocolate tulips and chocolate butterflies.

YS: What's next for you?
DL: I'm coming out with a candy book in the Summer of 2010. It's about celebrating with candy for all occasions.
