Jelly Belly Easter Eggs

// February 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Easter Candy, Licorice Candy

Easter is right around the corner and for me it has always been one of the most memorable candy holidays for me! I’ll review Jelly Belly Easter Eggs!

It is pretty clear that children love Jelly Belly Bean because of its’ fruity flavor and the fact that it’s jelly. Now they can enjoy it under the shape of an Easter Egg as well. And yes, the Jelly Belly Easter Eggs will come in all 50+ flavors.

I actually appreciate a candy factory that produces special treats for special occasions, such as Easter. I was never disappointed at Easter, as a small child, I loved the specially designed flavors and shapes of the traditional chocolate bunny. It is so beautiful how the chocolate is set in the shape of a bunny and wrapped it in a colorful package. Although, as you know I’m not a big chocolate fan but Easter is the time where I do break out a little and try things! But mostly I enjoy jelly beans and flavored Jelly Belly’s.

Jelly Belly is available in 50 different flavors, as mentioned above, and all of them are naturally obtained. From French vanilla or Honey Bean to Licorice or Dr. Pepper, you can choose the one that you enjoy the most, or if you are tasting these delights for the first time, just take all of them and make a party out it.

The Jelly Belly Easter Eggs will have the same flavors but will also come with some new rookie flavors, specially designed for Easter. If the company realizes that people really enjoy a specific flavor, they will surely add it to the 50 flavor formation, making it 51, 52 or even more. I would buy several pounds of Jelly Belly from all flavors and just sit down and test them all out, lol. I know there will be a ton of specials so I’ll try to post them soon!

Check out their contest for $10,000 in big beans!

Hustinetten Lemon Drops

// February 24th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Candy Video Review, International Candy, german candy, hard candy

Today I’m going a little more international than usual. We all know that Germany makes some of the best candy in the world. Well at least one of my favorite brands, Haribo! Anyway, check out the Candy Tuesday’s video review!

I’ve found that you can purchase these at Ebay.de (German local site) and online at Online Supermarket store website but the shipping takes 21 days and the price is expensive. Unless you’re going to do a lot of Germany candy shopping I would recommend checking out Ebay first!

They were good and I can imagine that all other flavors are as well!

Gluten free candy

// February 22nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Gluten Free Candy

Recent studies have shown that gluten is not suitable for certain children. Unfortunately, many types of candy contain gluten making it difficult to find gluten free candy for your child.

Of course, some children are actually gluten intolerant and can develop serious allergic reactions to it (like myself), which is why it is important to have test performed and see if your little wonder really is gluten intolerant. If the tests come out positive, you can read the following and find the best gluten free candy available.

Most candy producers have a gluten free candy line up, similar in taste and texture to the ones that contain gluten. Ask the retailer to provide with a full list of the gluten free candy on supply (most of them have that list ready and waiting). After that you can start choosing the candy your child loves the most and ensure that he or she is safe eating it.

There is of course that very narrow market share that contains producers of gluten free candy only. These are the ones you should focus on. They are tastier and healthier for your child compared to other ones from which the gluten was extracted. Yes, they may have a little higher price tag, but it really makes no difference (specially developed gluten free candy is about ten to twelve percent more expensive per pound).

Don’t avoid this issue because otherwise you could cause serious health problems to your child. It isn’t all that difficult to find and provide with this special gluten free candy. Even children that can eat gluten safely are better off without the gluten and I recommend trying this type of candy for these children as well.

In conclusion, gluten free candy is available, but you will probably have to ask specifically for it, even in supermarkets, because it has only been introduced to the market recently. Prices will go down as well, so your child can benefit from this healthy treat.
