Chocolate Critters

Today is Valentines Day and usually this day is filled with a lot of chocolate gifts candy! A hot chocolate candy over in Japan that is making noise over here are Chocolate Critters that are shaped into bugs and worms. I’m not sure if this is considered a sign of LOVE but if you’re in for a good laugh, then you should buy them. People have traveled in Japan by car over an hour just to buy the Chocolate Critters because they were sold out elsewhere.
On Valentines Day in Japan the big thing is chocolate however with a twist. Valentines Candy which are uncover as a fruit or non chocolate is actually filled with chocolate. Strawberries which are usually red, have the outside coating of a strawberry flavor but once you take that bite, theres nothing strawberry about it!
The reason behind all of this is that on Valentines Day in Japan, the tradition is for the woman to buy men a gift!! (more…)
I use to love buy rock candy and even making rock candy as a kid. I actually have not bought any in so many years. But my favorite crystal rock candy flavor was blue which tasted a bit like blueberry to say the least. The only thing that I don’t enjoy to much about eating rock candy is that at times I cut my gums. That is so annoying but good thing they aren’t made so big.
