JB Bubblge Gum

JB Bubble Gum what a mouth full this gum is. You never know how much gum your gonna be chewing up with just one gumball but with this one one is more than enough. At first I couldn't do anything until I worked it in my mouth to a blowing bubble consistency. The package reads that each 5 flavors are true to the Jelly Belly beans flavor and right now I have blueberry in my mouth. It didn't smell like blueberry but had a hint of flavor. I expected a more intense flavor like there beans but maybe on the next one so let's see. Ok now I'm chewing Juicy Pear and I can definetly taste pear. The gumball was yellow so I thought it wouldn't taste like pear but I was wrong. 

I would try the rest but I'm kind of gumed out right now so I'll have to finish the rest later and let you know how Very Cherry, Tangerine and Watermelon taste.

Until then have a Sweet Day!

Brandini Toffee

An idea to earn money for a student trip to Italy, Brandini Toffee has quickly grown into a thriving business. The toffee was created from a secret family recipe, each batch is handmade with only the finest ingredients. Being hailed as the best ever, guarenteeing 100% satisfaction. They've won several awards, was on Oprah's O list and appeared on Martha Stewart.

Now you can't go wrong with this combo: toffee, chocolate & a roasted almond nut mix. They sent over a huge bag for sampleing and it's been really hard to resist not eating it all myself. We brought in the Brandini Bites which is a 1/2lb tin filled with bite size nibbles, great for shareing if they're lucky. The perfect hostess gift or Easter gift (which is just around the corner).

WAZOO

TOPPS candy company just came out with a new candy thats named WAZOO. They describe it as a chewy fruity candy sprinkled with crunchies candy bar. Now this isn't your normal candy bar. When you think of candy bar's you think of chocolate & caramel or any otherchocolate bar combo but not actual candy.

I first saw this bar online and was happy to see it in Bellingham last week so I picked up one of each flavor, Blue Razz and Wild Berriez. I tried the Wild Berriez and to be honest was a little anxious to bite into it. I took a little bite and right away loved the crunchies that cover the top of the bar. They are kind of like nerds but not as good. The berry taste was really predominant which was nice cause sometimes when they say the flavor you don't even taste it or smell it. Also I loved the colour of the candy bar, purple on the outside with pink and yellow chewy center.

I recommened the Wazoo candy bar to anyone who likes their candy on the sweeter side and the taste of berries.

Candy Art

Check this picture out! Isn't it the coolest thing you ever did see! The artist had contacted me through my website and she forward me the link and I'm blown away. What they do is cut and paste images that are related to candy and create new works of art. They also write where they get there links from so credit is given where needed which is nice.  What a creative way to make a picture journal of all the things you love right now. The sky is the limit to what you could do, I wanna make one now. My favourites are Candy Buffet ( attached pic), Like me and Violet.

Nestle's YORKIE bar.

I was searching through You Tube and found a commercial for the Yorkie chocolate bar from England. It's ok but I like that they have a commerical. We need more commercials for candy and chocolate bars.

Rainy Day = Candy Day

I was talking to my boyfriend and asked him what should I write about today and he suggested rainy day candy since it's raining in Vancouver right now ( nothing new but still).

Now candy is good to eat any time but especially when it's raining outside. The rain just makes you blah and sleepy and you need a sweet pick me up to get you through the work day. Candy makes people happy and that's a proven fact :-) So what makes me happy are Haribo gummies, sour belts, 70% cacao chocolate and Jelly Belly's. Now when I make my bulk bags I usually like to keep the non-sour gummies away from the sours. Why you ask, well because I don't like when some non-sour gummies have sour powder on them that's why there plain gummies to begin with. But that's just me :-)

Some other candy that will put a smile on your face are:

Gummy Army Guys
Grillz
Rock Paper Scissors
Sour Warheads

Peter Rabbit Play-a-Tune

A cute brightly coloured bunny filled with speckled bubblegum eggs, but wait thats not it, it also plays music! Peter Rabbit's musical Play-A-Tune complete with song book.

How it works is when you buy it you pull out the tab in the back that releases the battery power and then you just press away on the numbers on the front. The song book includes songs like the Easter Parade, Mary Had a Little Lamb and Row Row Row Your Boat. The great thing is you can eat your bubble gum while you rock out to your tunes! And when the bubble gum is done you can just fill it with another candy or use it as a piggy bank. You can get the bunny in pink,yellow, purple or blue.

(bubblegum is made in Canada & not intended for Children under 3)

Lightning Bunny

Grab a Bunny and light it up! An interactive candy treat for kids.

Each bag comes with a handful of red coloured gummy bunnies and plastic tongs. The key to this novelty candy is in the tongs as there is a small red light the lights up when you grab onto the gummy ( or just by closing the tongs). Kids don't realize it so they think the candy actually lights up when you use the "special tongs". The tongs can be used on any gummy candy which makes the gift a neverending one!

So go on and grab some Lightning Bunny's for your Easter egg hunt, your kids will have a blast !

Easter has arrived at Frankies !

I just decorated for Easter and the store looks awesome! I love all the fun colours and feathery decorative accessories I get to use for the front window, it really catches your eyes when walking by :-).

We have lots of fun things to put in baskets and for Easter egg hunts such as Chick n' Chat, Lightning Bunnies, speckled egg bubblegum cartons and Easter lip pops! So many cool things, you can check them out at http://www.frankiescandybar.com/easter/. I'll post some of my favourite over the next couple of days.

Also I just found out that I'll be on Breakfast Television on April 5th to show off all our Easter candies! So watch out for that.

Haribo !

Haribo Fruity Rotella pink wheels! We just got them in the other day and im already addicted to them. They are super yummy and flavorful with kind of a floral undertone. I love that you can unwind them and swing them around or braid the colours together then eat them! They are perfect to use on our Frankies skewers since there is already a hole in the center. There are 4 flavors and they all come mixed in bulk. The flavors include apple (green), raspberry (red), apricot (orange) and banana (yellow). I love that German candies have different and sometimes exotic flavours instead of the normal cherry, apple, lemond and grape.

I can't wait for movie night tonight so I can make a bag of yummy gummies!
