Largest Licorice Candy

Largest Licorice Candy

I visited a Spring Fair/Carnival in Barcelona and as you can see I think its the largest Licorice Filled Straw Candy in the World! I was actually too afraid to even buy it..It was enormous!

I can see myself now, sitting at the dinner table with the knife and fork chopping away!

Tobacco Candy Harmful?

// April 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy News

I’m not a smoker but if I was I would watch out for these tobacco “candies”, that the tobacco industry is testing. From the looks of it I can see how a child would possibly mistake the tobacco candy for Tic Tacs or any other mint candies packaged this way. Of course, I see how under-aged teens would try these candies with possibilities of hiding their smoking in schools.

Needless to say, the Tobacco candy is underway of being recalled. Check out this video below and read the full CNN Tobacco Candy Report

Oomuombo Candy Store

// April 27th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review

Check out this review from the candy store in Madrid, Spain!

I thought that after doing the review that I would be able to find more store details online and previously thought that it would exist in Sweden. However, I could not find anything. The store does have a website: http://www.oomuombo.com but there isn’t much there yet (in construction). But I can verify that the candies are from Sweden or at least Scandinavia Europe! I took some photos of the candies so that you could get an idea!

I love the inside of the store and the slogan “Good Sweets For Big Children” –> that would be me!

Wonka Exceptional Fruit Marvels and Jellies

// April 23rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review

Ok!! Suprise, I received a package today with candy that I want to review for you! They were so good I couldn’t wait until Tuesday, and honestly this is well overdue anyway! Check it out.

As you saw from the video that I was surprised with the final taste of the Wonka Fruit Marvels! I thought it would take longer to get to the soft core center. I was delighted with the juicy flavor to be honest. The first moments the taste was almost null..Similar to jawbreakers.



The flavor I tried was Clementine Orange and other flavors include:

  • Grape Fruit
  • Goji Berry
  • White Grape
  • Pomegranate
  • Red Apple
  • Clement Orange

WONKA Fruit Jellies and WONKA Fruit Marvels debut exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide beginning in April 2010. So you’ve probably already seen them in the stores. If you have any doubt, DON’T they are good! They will also arrive in Target stores nationwide in June 2010.

The suggested prices of the WONKA Fruit Jellies and WONKA Fruit Marvels are:

$2.99 for each 5 oz. box, and $1.99 for each 1.9 oz. tin of Fruit Marvels. I love the packaging and colors.

Also, chocolate was sent however I did not get a chance to review. WONKA Exceptionals chocolate collection was created with as much attention to the taste inside as the presentation outside. The chocolate pieces are very rich in flavor,plus available in full-sized tablets and bags of individually-wrapped minis.

I hope you get a chance to try them!
