// August 26th, 2008 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Licorice Candy

Hi again, welcome back again to Candy Tuesdays!! I’m reviewing candy that you possibly can’t purchase in the states but I do think it is possible to ship to companies. Check out the video!

The company that sells all sorts of Licorice Candy Sticks is King Regal. They have sour licorice, bitter, sweet, filled licorice and many more. The company does have a website: www.kingregal.com and you can choose your language if you don’t understand Spanish. My favorite types of licorice from Spain are the ones that I reviewed and also the cherry filled with a soft marshmallow like filling. Below is a snap shot of the different types of licorice candy made in Spain.

Types of Licorice

• Twist
• Belts
• Whips
• Bits
• Pencils
• Oiled Pencils
• Shooters
• Tronkito

In Spanish, the candy Licorice is called “Regaliz”.

Soft Now and Later

// August 20th, 2008 // 7 Comments » // Eating Right Now, Taffy Candy

For some time my brother has been telling me to try the new Now and Later soft. So yesterday he bought me two flavors: Cherry Taffy and Apple Taffy. I was excited to try it because we were talking about how when we were kids we use to put the Now and Laters in the microwave for about 5 seconds to get it soft. Now and Laters at the store were always COLD and HARD. So when I tasted these I was so happy that I didn’t have radiated candy.. LOL.

I use to sell “Now Laters” for my childhood sport fundraisers and it worked at out well because they are easy to sell and taste great!

Candy Prices Increase

// August 19th, 2008 // No Comments » // Candy News

Have you seen the news?! Well, Hersey has announced that they will be increasing the price of candy by over 11%. That is a BIG increase and of course due to the economy they had no choice and many more will follow unfortunately. In which case, it would be almost everytime smarter to buy bulk candy of your favorite types to save a little money!

In addition to the classic Hershey’s chocolate bar, Hershey makes Kisses, Reese’s Cups, Whoppers, Mounds and Almond Joy, Rolo, York Peppermint Pattie, Mr. Goodbar, Payday, Kit Kat, Heath, 5th Avenue, and some Cadbury products.
