My Cravings for Sweets...

If there is one thing the author of this blog is known for, it's for having a GIGANTIC sweet tooth.  So is it a surprise to find a whole passel of Cherry Jolly Ranchers on my desk?  What do you have on yours?

How often does your candy jar stash change in flavor, type, color, or variety? Some days I crave hard candy, some days chocolate.  Some days I want a surprise, some days I want something reliable.  Some days Taffy, some days Gum. What about you?

The world of candy is as expansive and creative as your imagination.  So go ahead and fill that dish on your desk with the candy of choice for the mood you're in. Because as we like to say, candy is good for you - it makes you smile and laugh, and those things are what life is all about.  Right?

Caption Me?

Oh what I could say about you!

When you see a picture of something you enjoy, what comes to mind right away?

We recently asked this question about this picture on our Facebook page for our Chocolate store and got some cute responses that we enjoyed reading. The interaction with our fan base was stimulating, and the responses were thought provoking.

The picture is of a just completed, fresh as can be, batch (or as we call it, a loaf) of our Creamy Chocolate Kansas City FudgeTM. Next to it lies one of the tools of our trade. The loaf is approximately 23lbs and measures nearly 4 feet long.

What do YOU say about it?

Christmas Candy!!!

Oh boy!!  It's here and we are sooooo excited!!

Christmas is one of the best times of year for candy: colors, shapes, flavors, and emotions come alive with such a broad variety of candy.  Mellowcreme, chocolate, gummi, malt, and lots lots more.

One of our favorite new candy selections is our Christmas Mix from The Jelly Belly Company, which includes some of the best holiday candies to sink your sweet tooth into: Mellowcreme Santa's and holiday shapes, speckled malted milk chocolate balls, dark chocolate foil balls, pectin mint drops, chocolate Dutch mints, and Jelly Belly's in Red Apple and Sour Apple.  And not only does it taste great, but we just looooove the colors it brings out on our shelf.

Our Holiday candy selection includes over 25 new candies that have filled our shelves, including everything from sweet to sour to chocolate and all things in between.  We are thrilled to have new product, love the festivity it brings our store, and even better, love the joy it brings to people when they proclaim their joy for such a wonderful candy experience.

We look forward to welcoming you during the Holiday season..

I Voted.

Despite the grueling lines that formed even before the voting station opened, despite the cool weather that we waited in outside, despite the laundry list of things that I need to do, and despite my claustrophobic nature - I waited, I stood in line, I voted.

I took part in this election, as I do each and every year. I vote at every opportunity, every election, every time, without fail.

And I'm proud to do it.
