"candy creations" news and stories

If you're anything like us, your sweet-tooth is bigger than your stomach - especially when it comes to the Halloween season, where even as adults we never seem to stop equating October with free candy. Since we can't give out real candy to each and every one of you (although we would if we could), we're doing it digitally with our Candy Creations Day! All day long we'll be talking about sweets, sugar, candy, chocolate and just about anything related to those topics. Check back to this post for a full listing of everything that is going on, as it will be updated with a full index of our oh-so-sweet posts all day long.

We really like candy here, whether it is a sugary caramel or a decadent box of chocolates, and there is nothing like Halloween to get into the candy spirit. After all, the entire purpose of the holiday is to eat candy! To get into the swing of things before the holiday hit, we decided to host our own day of Candy Creations on Tuesday, October 24th. We'll talk about some of our favorite candies, homemade and store-bought, and offer up some tips on where to find the best candies and what to give out for Halloween. We have lots of treats to give out, but you'll have to be patient!

If you want to join us in our celebration of candy, write a post about your favorite candy, candy recipe or use for candies (sundae toppings, deep fried candy bars, etc) and post about it between now and the 24th. Send us a link to your post and we'll do include it in our roundup that day.
