jacque torres election themed white chocolate pops

(Click the photo to see top politicians' favorite foods!)

Every election year, different bakeries and candy makers come out with party or candidate-identified treats. They conduct their own, unscientific straw polls, in an attempt to determine what the outcome of the election will be. While elections won't be won or lost over sweet confections, they do add an element of fun to your convention or election return parties.

Famed chocolatier Jacques Torres has thrown his hat into the election-themed chocolates this year, with a pair of white chocolate lollipops. They are available with either a blue donkey for the Dems or a red and blue elephant for the GOP. The back of the blue pops are printed with the slogan "Barack the Vote," the others cheer that "Mac is Back." They run $5 a pop and are hand crafted with some of the tastiest, citrus-infused white chocolate around. They'd make a great election time gift for your favorite policy wonk.

Guess the politicians' favorite foods!

This doesn't seem like it would be very accurate. I, for one, have a life-threatening allergy to red dye, so even if I were a Republican or Independent, I would have to get the one with all-blue! How's that for politics?

Sort of funny really...I was looking at this for entertainment. But even in entertainment do you try to put your spin on it. Look at the pictures of the Democrats...all nice and smiling. All of the Republicans have mean or strange looks. Shame on you for this underhanded and veiled attack.

Michael - I'm pretty sure that's just how their faces look most of the time. Have a lollipop and calm down.
