Wasabi-ginger lollipops

Lollyphile lollipops are some of the best lollipops I've ever had. I even devoted a cupcake to their maple bacon lollipops. I had the opportunity to interview Jason Lewis, Lollyphile's founder, on Food Interviews and learned that his company actually started because he had extra absinthe sitting around that he had been selling to a speakeasy. The speakeasy got shot down and there was nothing left to do with all the extra absinthe - except, of course, make lollipops!

Lollyphile's latest flavor, wasabi-ginger, is now on the market. I can't wait to try it! Jason says, "Wasabi-Ginger lollypops are made with no artificial flavoring, and contain real wasabi, adding a little kick to the natural spiciness of the ginger. They are guaranteed to not actually make your sinuses explode."

I wouldn't want to give these out to kids for Halloween (mainly because four lollipops cost ten dollars) but, they would be a perfect, special candy treat for yourself.

Visit Lollyphile to buy some.
