Do you know the origin of the Chupa Chups lollipops? First of all they are from Spain and after living there for 5 years, I’ve gotten to know the candy pretty well and they are YUMMY! In 1958, Xabier Bernart had a vision of the children in the period would relieve their hands of sticky candy so they wouldn’t get dirty. So he decided to insert a stick inside the candy. Now, we all are sucking on the envision of eating sticky free, based on a guy who wanted to keep things clean and fun

Right now there are 40 Chupa Chup flavors and varieties. Two years ago, I realized that Chupa Chup likes to have fun and made Chupa Chup relax lollipops for those who stress out.

Chupa Chups Flavors

• Strawberry
• Orange
• Creme
• Coffee (espresso, cappuccino and cafe mocha)
• Blueberry

Just to name a few. The lollipops can be purchased at Amazon, Candy Crate, Ebay and almost any candy store online!

M&Ms Candy Recipe

// June 2nd, 2008 // No Comments » // Candy Recipes

Here are some good M&M Candy Recipes for those who do love chocolate.

M&M Biscotti

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 3/4 cups M&M Chocolate Mini Baking Bits, divided
• 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted (see note below)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets; set aside. In large bowl, combine the butter and sugar and mix together until light and fluffy; beat in the eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; blend into creamed mixture. This dough will be pretty stiff. Stir in 1 1/4 cups M&M baking bits and the nuts. Divide the dough in half. Add cocoa powder and coffee granules to one half of the dough, mixing to blend. On well-floured surface, gently knead dough together just enough to marble. Divide dough in half and gently roll each half into a 12-by-2-inch log. Place on prepared cookie sheets at least 4 inches apart. Press remaining 1/2 cup M&M baking bits onto outside of both logs. Bake 25 minutes. Dough will spread. Cool logs 15 to 20 minutes. Slice each log into 12 slices; arrange on cookie sheet cut-side down. Bake an additional 10 minutes. (For softer biscotti, omit second baking.) Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container. Makes 24 pieces.

Note:  To toast almonds, spread in single layer on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes until light golden, stirring occasionally. Remove almonds from pan and cool completely before using.

Ok, I was asked to review some good candy necklaces but there aren’t too many different types.

The original candy necklace is typically made with small tart candy with a retractable elastic string. These are fun to wear and eat at the same time. Warning, I learned as a teen, not to wear them when its extremely hot outside, because they do actually melt and get sticky around the neck

You can buy candy necklaces at any candy store around in the mall and they are relatively cheap $0.99 per one necklace and if you want a container of candy necklaces about 72 pieces (great for retro parties) it runs around $30.00.  Although, many people have fun making their own candy necklaces because it is really EASY.

Other Types of Candy Jewelry

Below is a list of  great candy jewelry

• Candy Lipstick
• Charms Ring Pops
• Candy Bracelets
• Candy Watches
• Candy Purses or Pocketbooks
• Candy Beads

As an adult, I’ve found many interesting candy accessories and underwear

• Candy Thong (similar to candy necklaces but in the shape of a thong)
• Chocolate Candy Thongs
• Candy Bras
• Clip on Candy Rings
• Candy Garter

The adult candy can be purchased at most Adult Stores such as Eden Fantasy’s. The prices for the accessories range from $10+.

Good luck with finding more candy jewelry, chocolate jewelry, candy rings and rock candy jewelry
