So isn’t it ironic that two days after initially filming the review, I’m sick with a cold and thank goodness that the Ludens Throat Drops arrived when they did!

Check out the video!!

So my nephew liked the Orange, but I haven’t tried any other flavor than Cherry and it is ADDICTING. Although my throat is bothering me, I’m popping Ludens like Skittles. This is what sets them apart from other throat drops.

Flavors include:

• Wild Cherry
• Wild Honey
• Licorice
• Sugar Free Wild Cherry
• Orange

The newest flavor is the Orange in fact and the bag that I received is priced around $1.79 in stores. You can of course find them anywhere. Ludens has been around for over 130 years! I knew it was an old company but never imagined 130 years!!

Thanks so much for sending me a few to review. I’m sure with the change of the weather, I’m problematically sure to get sick again..

P.S. The TodoCandy App is finally being updated!! I’ll write about it once it is published

We all know that learning numbers are necessary to kids and we all know one thing that kids love besides toys, “CANDY”. To help make learning fun we are sharing with you Candy 1 to 20 By Laurie Wolf and Pam Abrams with photos by Bruce Wolf. This book is designed to help teach children the basic numbers 1 through 20 using candy to form the numbers such as, 2 sour strips to make the number 2 or 19 Peanut M&Ms to for the number 19 and so many other candy combinations to make numbers 1 through 20.

The idea of using one of a child’s favorites (candy) to teach numbers is a great way for children to learn. Candy 1 to 20 using the combination of candy and education is the perfect way to help teach kids using their favorite yummy treats to learn their numbers.

Of course for me as a candy addict the photos were mouth drooling because well.. I didn’t have the same stash at the house during that time. Afterwards, it made me go out and buy a couple of sour strips!

Check out some of photos from the book!

This makes a nice gift for any child.

Purchase online for only $8.99!

After the video, my family and I tried the Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Beans by Jelly Belly and let me tell you… it was an experience!! I’ve never tasted any candy so bad and so good ever!

Here the list of flavors in the “cute” Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Beans with my comments

• Banana – nice to wash the others down
• Black Pepper – clearly tasted like black pepper and of course as a candy GROSS
• Blueberry – nice like always
• Booger – although I’m not a Booger expert, my brother said it tasted like the real thing!! GROSS
• CandyFloss – nice flavor
• Cherry – nice like always
• Cinnamon – i don’t think my box contained cinnamon at least I didn’t taste it
• Dirt – YUCK! I spit it right out
• Earthworm – not a bad flavor
• Earwax – it was good to wash down other flavors
• Grass – wow… this tasted like the real thing
• Green Apple – refreshing to eat this after the others
• Marshmallow – not a very strong flavor
• Rotten Egg – OH MY GOD.. DON’T TRY UNLESS YOU ARE BOLD!!! I SPIT IT OUT BEFORE IT HIT MY TONGUE. SMELLS HORRIBLE
• Sausage – It tasted exactly as flavored — aiii
• Lemon – again nice flavor
• Soap – honestly it tasted like soap so after that disgusting Rotten Egg I washed my mouth right out
• Tutti-Fruitti – Very nice! one of my favorites
• Vomit – Seriously.. who even thought of this and test tasted the flavor.. I tasted verbatim exactly exactly like disgusting VOMIT.. I will never try again!!
• Watermelon – GOOOD

Those flavors are incredibly exactly like the name. That is a great Halloween gift to give the kids. They can be purchased from JellyBelly.com, Amazon, Wal-Mart and of course your local CVS or Walgreens etc.

I loved the Melon Denytne Pure and actually the Herbal Flavor was good but started to get very minty. But that’s good if you’re having a bad breath moment! Of course you can purchase these anywhere, Amazon, local Walmart etc!

You can buy these on JellyBelly.com by searching carrots! The bag is around $2.25 and the collector tin $5.50. I will keep it and add my own “veggie” candy or gumballs!

Here are some closer photos of the Jelly Belly Carrots and Peas Candy.

My nephew’s “only” words were, I want peas and carrots!!!

I love the spoon with the veggies on the bag!

I feel unsure if I’ve already done a review of the Sour Skittles.. However, they were good Enjoy

I don’t think I’ve seen so many variations of popcorn before. I can’t say that I’m a big popcorn eater, but I do like original popcorn every once in a while. In the video you noticed that I tried the Marshmallow Flavor Popcorn Ball. It was hard for me to tear off and eat, and that is probably because it was sitting on the porch waiting for me in freezing temperatures (28 F) .. I think when it is room temperature it will taste better. However, the chocolate covered potato chips were awesome! I tried the dark chocolate and even liked it..So if you have a chance, make sure you try those.

After the video, I also tried the Milk Chocolate Covered Caramel Popcorn and honestly it is my favorite! I love caramel and surprising enough, it was hard to tell that it was popcorn that I was eating. Again, it was cold and a bit hard but I can’t wait to eat them at a normal room temperature.

Chocolate caramel popcorn

After  dinner I will give more of them a try. Here is what was included in the box:

• (2) Marshmallow Flavored Popcorn Balls

Flavored Popcorn Marshmallow

Flavored Small Popcorn Bags:

• Cheesy Jalepeno
• Caramel
• Cheese
• Assorted Mix
• Caramel Apple
• Cinnamon
• Tutti Fruitti

Chocolate Popcorn & Chocolate Covered Potato Chips!!

• (2) Chocolate Popcorn Clusters (Dark & Milk Chocolate)
• (2) Chocolate Covered Potato Chips (Dark & Milk Chocolate)

So my first guess was right, it was a potato chip covered with chocolate! They were really good as I stated before.

Any of these products can be purchased from: http://www.colbyridge.com. Also, any order can be personalized so it is great for a gift. Very different I must say. I feel like Forrest Gump, “all kinds of shrimps” in this case POPCORN.

Thanks again to Colby Ridge Popcorn for sending this fantastic package!

So after I finished the video, I let my mom try it. She said just give me one and after she tasted she wanted more. These Chewy Lemonheads are far better than the ones that I ate as a kid. More juicy it seems. Wow! I recommend getting a box. I ran across them in a shoe store >>> strange I know but I’m happy I did. So the box was $0.50 as you can see in the photo below.

I did some research and you can buy them from Amazon.com pretty cheap (24 count box for $9.99) and Candywarehouse as well.

I bet you can get them at CVS, Walgreens or some other pharmacy or even a convenience store

I really liked the Bubble Chocolate it was actually very smooth and not as strong as most chocolate bars I’ve reviewed. I prefer this type of chocolate mostly. The texture was great although I guess I was too hungry to wait for the “melt in your mouth effect”! Overall, I liked it and now I see why my nephew said it was awesome in the first review!

I didn’t buy anything because honestly I’m not a big M&M fan at all. I love the colors and of course the commercials but its not a candy that I grew up eating or loving. But for those of you that do, the store was AWESSSSOME!! Seriously, the M&M characters are so funny and easily liked. I found myself almost buying a collectible. I didn’t but I did take a picture outside of the store with Sponge Bob if anyone loves Mr. Sponge Bob!

My nephew does so I’m sure he will get a kick out of this photo

Play Checkers! Eat the Pieces..

OH YEAH!! I wouldn’t last long in the game because there wouldn’t be ANY pieces left LOL. I had a great time doing the review and I’m sure you guys were happy to see my stash of candy on the side. There were rules on the back of the check board which I thought was cute:

Candy Checker Rules

Candy Checkers can be played like a regular checker game if you wish (NOT).

• Play checkers in the regular manner, but once a candy game piece is jumped you eat the opponents piece!
• A player wins the game when the opponent cannot make a move. In most cases, this is because all of the opponent’s pieces have been eaten, but it could also be because all of the pieces are blocked in.

Check out more candy at FlixCandy.com and if I find more fun candy games I’ll review them as well!!

ps. Sorry this video is so late!

I always forget how fun it is to eat hard candy although I always relate it to candies that I was given at church to keep still as a child and the hard candies in the candy dish at grandmas house. Needless to say, I must start buying more candies because the flavor just last, last and last!! These Organic hard candies were awesome I might add and even though it was apart of an impulse buy at the checkout counter, I’m glad I chose them.

Like I said in the video there are other flavors available: Apple, Cherry, Pomegranate, Ginger and Honey Lemon!

I bought mine at TJ Maxx while searching for a kettlebell but you can buy them at Amazon.com for $3.99 and bulk size as well. I guess because I was in TJ Maxx the price of $2.99 was apart of there ongoing discounts.

Here is the website for Go Naturally

Thanks for hand making these gluten free, no artificial flavored yummy cherry hard organic candies!!

The video was recorded last Wednesday and I believe that the company Bubble Chocolate wanted the chocolate bars to arrive for Candy Tuesday but it did not unfortunately and as you saw in the video the chocolate was a bit melted. In my area, there were temperatures last week up to 106 Degrees.. So I guess you know the rest. Melted chocolate …

The good thing is that my nephew did enjoy it and he loves chocolate. When I tried the Bubble Chocolate I did let it simmer in my mouth a bit and it reminded me a waffer cookie. Easy to eat and melts in your mouth. It is interesting and recommend everyone trying it because it is different and easy to eat! The chocolate has a nice rich flavor and taste well, although I only tested the Milk Chocolate. My nephew wanted and tried the Dark Chocolate — I swear he is like an old little man!!

You can buy Bubble Chocolate at the following stores: Wholefood Stores, TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Check the Bubble Chocolate website for the store locator and get a small glimpse of the Bubble chocolate.

I will be holding a contest for Bubble Chocolate soon — but lets wait a bit until the temperature cools down!
