Introducing the One and Only
A little while ago, I was browsing the candy aisle at Circuit City — I know, weird place to look for candy, but I was there waiting for someone else to make a purchase — when I came across a candy I had never seen before. Called 1&Only, it was a monstrous offering of Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peanut Butter Cups, Oreos, M&Ms, white chocolate chips, and more chocolate. It sounded a bit awful, so naturally I had to buy one.

Summer Reading: Candyfreak
"The author has eaten a piece of candy every single day of his entire life."
I could tell from the first sentence in Steve Almond's love letter to candy, CandyFreak: A Journey through the Chocolate Underbelly of America, that I had found a book that would really speak to me. As someone who also has a huge weakness for candy, I was excited to read the riveting romp in search of unique and under-represented candy bars.

I Heart Candy: Heath Bar Cake
Every now and then I crave and eat an entire Caramello, so when YumSugar proposed her I Heart Candy challenge I figured I'd make a homemade version of a Caramello. However homemade caramel involves an entire hour of constant stirring, so I brainstormed and was immediately reminded of an old childhood favorite: Heath bar cake!
A Heath bar is a thin slab of English toffee covered with smooth milk chocolate.
Satisfy a Sweet Tooth With Dylan's Candy Bar
With all the sweetness I'd expect from famed sugar shop Dylan's Candy Bar, the new Re-Treat bath and body line included some mouth-watering flavors that made me think dessert. Yet most of the time, I'd rather eat dessert than smell like it. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
