I may have eaten more chocolate over the last 2 weeks than I’ve ever eaten in a 2-week span because dammit if the Ritter-Sport people didn’t send us like 9 chocolate bars. Read the review and watch our 32 second take on one flavor, here:

What’s the smoothest candy you know. Think about it for a second.
Werther’s Originals of course.
Those things are so slick that if you pop one in your mouth, and don’t grab it with your teeth but then breathe deeply really fast, you’ll suck that bad boy right into your choker. They are so slippery smooth that [...]

Wanna win a bunch of Milky Way Simply Caramel bars and a US$75 gift certificate to Spafinder.com? Watch the vid yo.

I found new Haribo. How often do Jonny and I bitch about there not being more types of Haribo? ALL THE TIME. And now there is. It’s really quite remarkable. Watch the vid and you’ll get revved up to seek out Fruity Fruttis. Trust me on this – they’re good.

Haribo Mini Rainbow Frogs: I refuse to write a long post about these. Why? Because like sex, it’s better experienced than read about.

Albanese Gummis Sour Inch Worms calls themselves World’s Best. Not country’s best. Not state’s best. WORLD’S BEST. Us Candygurus calls thems fighting words. A new candy maker creating a semi-tired, yet tried/true, sour worm gummi and calling them “Worlds Best?” We’ll be the judges of that.

I’m plum out of candy and I’m tired of Viet Namese sweets that no one has ever heard of…So I went down to my work’s all-organic, we-feed-you-all-the-time-so-you’ll-never-leave cafe, and I bought me some Nugo. Vanilla Yogie Nugo.

“I taste loads of tamarind, and spice and salt.” Which country made the candy I’m eating? Mexico. Of course! Tamarind is to Mexican candy like mustard is to American hot dogs – slopped on there every time whether you want it or not. Vero Mangos though…kinda yums.

What are they? Oh just little fun boxes filled with yr favorite sweet cereals covered in chocolate. Any kid under 10 will rid their DVRs of Hannah Montana for a year straight to get a fix of this stuff.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a dude say, “Man, I sure could use a smooth chocolate truffle right now.” Still – when the experts at Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier sent us a note asking if we wanted to try their wares, I of course said yes since – well, it IS candy, and well, I AM a pushover and I’ll try anything once espesh if it’s free.

Matty reviews the latest from Trolli. They look like green men, taste fruity, and are simply craptastic!

Dammit if the Dutch aren’t just super right on. They make great licorice. They aren’t afraid of really pushing anise. They don’t pretend to cater to children. They play to adults. And they use salt. Like all good cooks.

After 6 days of literally ingesting nothing but lemon juice, syrup, water and cayenne, I’m back eating candy – and maybe a week off from candy curdles the brain but when I opened this Trolli package – I was yummed over.

They’re called güdfüd and they’re American. Read the review, but I warn you, though the candy is good, this review sucks.

Happy Goat Caramels – local SF, CA candy. These things whack you with a vanilla taste that shames any thing else describing itself as vanilla.

These things are spicy and it creeps up on you; takes awhile to get there. Maybe 5 full one-one-thousands later and then this great cayenne flavor starts to appear in the back of my throat. Serious pure heat. I likey.

These taste like purple, and it’s perfectly logical for today’s candy enthusiast to only want authentic, all natural, chardonnay-esque, only organic, non-fructose, raw cane grape candy. I feel you. But personally I love fake grape.

The fine people at Wonka sent us a bunch of sweets, half chocolate and half non-chocolate- I’m putting away the dark cocoa mistress and burying my gob into some fruity chewy type treats. Do they live up to the Wonka legacy?

Want $50 in really good candy sent to you?
Of course. Who doesn’t.
All you need to do is know how to pick NCAA Men’s college basketball games. It’s easy! And free.

Psoas Massage + Bodywork in San Francisco, CA -  with some generous help from various partners like Candygurus -  is running an NCAA [...]

See yourself as the John Mayer of new experiences? Someone who makes love to life like it’s crack cocaine? Then my friend — you are in for a world of tastiness with these choco covered corn nuts.

Trader Joe’s Classic Dark Chocolate Bar. Sure, it’s fine. Who cares. And that’s probably its problem.

Cocoa Pete’s Caramel Knowledge: Name and packaging aside – these dark chocolate/dark caramels kick ass

Dark chocolate is all the rage and you can buy new bars everywhere now. Simply Lite has a sugar free bar that tastes great – but what is it doing to my body?

Every year I like to do a candy bash post. For 2010, may I forever pray you don’t go anywhere near the three candies in this post.

Juicy Jells from Candy Basket. Soft textured with huge sugar crystals on the outside. Gramma might like these? Jello cubes. Eh.

The lil’ genius who created Jelly Belly’s – by far the best tasting jelly bean ever created – contacted Candygurus and said, ‘we got candy – review it.’ If this isn’t a sign that the godforsaken Candygurus have made it then I don’t know what is.

Need some candy to make your holiday zing? King Leo has the Pep Bark for you. Your workmates will kiss you, and you won’t even need to be under the mistletoe; it’ll be perfectly inappropriate.

Jelly Belly Fruit Sours aren’t really fruity or sour. A tad disappointing from our fave jelly bean maker. On the other hand, we know they can make the goods…so perhaps there’s hope…

What do you get when you take three numbskulls getting burritos in the City, and give them 2 bags of spongey licorice crappiness? Hijinks.

Make-your-own chocolate bars with loads of toppings – they aint cheap but they can be hot.
