I’m one for trying out different types of candy, well mostly non chocolate. Most of my friends are chocolate lovers, so whenever I go out shopping with them, they find it weird that I buy FUN Candy . I like weird sour candy, candy that looks bad from the candy paper wrapper and candy from countries outside the U.S.A.

I like to broaden my candy horizons if you know what I mean. Therefore, I’ll be reviewing more candy outside the US and let you know where it can be purchased or if you decide to visit that country, of course it will be easy to find and buy!

People have traveled in Japan by car over an hour just to buy the Chocolate Critters because they were sold out elsewhere.
