Mint Flavored Moon Pies – Better Than Cupcakes?
Well, I’m not sure that Moon Pies, a great Southern icon from Chattanooga, is better than cupcakes, but I can say that I was surprised on a recent visit to Georgia to see that two flavors have been added to the Moon Pie line up, one of which is mint. I did not get the [...]
The Real Cadbury, At Last!!
My niece, Stacie, was kind enough to bring back some real Cadbury chocolate from England on her last visit. She even remembered that Fruit and Nut was my favorite.

My Heart’s in San Francicso, but my Buns are in Wisconsin!
Well, candy Buns anyway. Found these in Watertown, WI, in regular and Maple flavors, so of course, I chose the maple flavored. Don’t get maple very often out here in California. Made the candy very special to me. This was my first exposure to them. Love the name, regardless of how they taste. Fortunately, they [...]
Off to the Fair, I Go!!
Taking a week or so to go on the road visiting as many State and County Fairs that I can fit into my schedule, but I will attempt to post stories as often as I can, filled with the fun and excitement (and candy) that Fairs bring to us all. And, since I enjoy the [...]
