Gelo Candy Jelly

// December 10th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Candy Video Review, Gummy, International Candy

Sorry for the delay for Candy Tuesdays but finally its available with my first international candy store! Also, for more episodes you can now bookmark CandyTuesdays.com as the new home for videos only!

Thanks to the wonderful people at Confitelia.com for sending these candies! They were yummy! Although, I thought the candy would be from Spain, the brand Olympic is the manufacture of the Gelo candy is from Greece. They have been making candy since 1958 and have many types of candies. There website is in Greek but here is the link just in case you’re able to read the Greek language: http://www.olympic-candy.com

These can be purchased directly at Confitelia for only 2.80 euros. The bag was huge and worth the price I think. You can order candy to the U.S.A or pretty much any country. I’m happy I had a chance to review this website because there are candies and snacks that are amazing from Spain but I had to show you personally and this candy store online in Spain helps.

One birthday I was given a gift of candy & a cake (like always) but this candy was different because it was a marshmallow candy cake. At Confitelia you can see examples of candy cakes that are just amazing.

Before visiting Spain, I had never seen such a thing. But not only do you have marshmallow cakes but all sorts of objects like purses, sandwiches, flower bouquet and more. Check out the category.

I know where I will order directly when I’m outside of Spain and craving candies that are JUST NOT available state side..

// September 8th, 2009 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Gummy, International Candy

Happy Tuesday! Back to school for some – and back to eating more candy on Tuesdays with my Candy Tuesday review. I hope you enjoy!

As you noticed, I really liked the Muscat (Green Grape) gummies it was just like eating a grape Kasugai Gummy Candy from Japan! Really juicy center and it reminds me so much of the life savers but softer and a bit juicier.

Current Flavors Include

• Mango
• Red Grape
• Green Grape
• Apple
• Pineapple
• Kiwi
• White Peach
• Strawberry
• Melon
• Orange

I bought these in a local convenience store in Washington, DC and the price was $3.69 but I’ve seen it online at places like Amazon.com and Ebay for a little bit over $5. Its all worth the taste and try!

You can reach the website at www.kasugai.co.jp and the translate version is: www.kasugai.co.jp/translated

They have just released some new Autumn flavors and candies

• Chocolate Banana Fruit
• Low Calorie Candy Surprise
• Cream Soda Gummy (excited to try this if it makes it here to the US)

Lindt Gold Bunnies

// March 31st, 2009 // No Comments » // Candy News, Candy Video Review, chocolate candy, Easter Candy, Gummy

Easter is right around the corner and today is Candy Tuesday! I hope you like the review!

The Lindt Easter Bunny has been around for many years! I did not realize the history behind the story until now. The first Lindt Gold Bunny was created in March 1952 and it has held a great tradition ever since. The bunny is made from soft milk Lindt chocolate and is wrapped with a gold color foil. The tradition is that the bunny is wrapped in gold with a red tie around the neck!

The month of March 2007 during the bunny’s 55 Aniversary was celebrated as Lindt Chocolate Day. Large gold bunny sculptures were made and decorations. All of which I had no idea! These bunnies are not so easy to find. Even after checking Ebay, I’ve only seen them in a couple of stores and especially from Europe!

Read more about the making of the gold bunny at the Lindt Gold Bunny Website. Also, if you’re interested you can send a Easter Card free from the site as well. They are very well designed, plus you can add your own photo. That normally at places like Hallmark is no less than $1.99 to send. So take advantage!!
