FitSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:00:46 -0700

Halloween is just a few weeks away, and with it comes major temptation from all the bite-size candy floating around. I agree that a little nibble of chocolate is better than the whole bar, which is why the Halloween fun-size treats are so appealing. But do you know which ones are the worst for you? Take my quiz to find out . . .

Think You Know Candy Corn?

YumSugar — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:01:33 -0700

Hershey's has just released a new seasonal kiss flavor: Candy Corn. I saw some in the Halloween display at Target and picked them up for the office to try.

The first thing I noticed was the smell: an overpowering in your face butterscotch-caramel odor, or as YumJimmy put it, "it smells like old people candy." The smell should have been a hint, the candy is as overpowering as its odor. It's like an overly sweet white chocolate laced with butterscotch, heavy on the butter. I personally found them to be adorable, but way too sweet.

All of this candy corn coloring got me wondering about candy corn in general. So I looked up a few things and put it all together in a fun quiz! Think you know candy corn?

Think You Know Your Candy?

I'm not totally sure who declared today National Candy Day - doesn't Oct. 31 seem like a much likelier date? - but we are definitely going to celebrate it. As I've mentioned before, we've got a bit of a candy problem here at the Sugar HQ. There's a constant barrage of sour gummis, chocolate goodies and old school snacks. Just about everyone here can identify their Laffy Taffy from their Jolly Ranchers, but can you? To celebrate National Candy Day we've come up with a quick little quiz. I'll describe the candy and you tell me what it is. Good luck!

Do You Know Your Chocolate?

YumSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 05:30:21 -0700

Although I think every day should be about chocolate, yesterday was officially National Chocolate Day, so I gave myself permission to indulge a little more than usual. (Not that I needed a reason.)

Given that Americans consume tens of billions of chocolate a year in this country alone, I figured you could use a quiz on the candy. Do you know the tempting treat? There's only one way to find out!

Hydrogenated Oil Lurking in Your Halloween Treats?

FitSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:00:42 -0700

Halloween is all about light-hearted spookiness, but I'll tell you, I saw something shockingly scary at the grocery store - the labels on Halloween candy. Corn syrup, food coloring, and the worst, hydrogenated oil. Companies still use this type of trans fat even though we know it's been linked to heart problems, miscarriages, obesity, and belly fat. Let's see if you know which candy to avoid this year.
