Wintergreen Lozenges

I LOVE these silly little candies!

You can buy them at CVS stores for 99 cents for a five-ounce bag. OR... you can buy them online at places like this for about $21 for 5 pounds. 5 pounds... how dreamy!!

Oral Fixation Mints

I love all the varieties of mint tins that are available. It seems that everyone sells their brand. I was at a Liz Claiborne store this weekend and they have a tin of mints... seriously, everyone has their brand on mint tins!

I love these mints from Oral Fixation. They have some great flavors (see their website, or below) and I love that the tins are so thin. They are the perfect size for business cards!

I think this gift pack is a fun idea. Six tins in a slipcase for $15. The six flavors included are:

Mojito Mint (lime mint cocktail)
7 Deadly Cinnamon (hot cinnamon)
Sugar Free Tibet (wintergreen)
Night Light (caffeinated chai)
Spare Mint (spearmint)
Classical Peppermint

The other flavors available are:

Mimosa Mint (Orange Mint Cocktails) NEW!
Antioximints (Green Tea Mints) NEW!
Jasmints (Herbal Jasmine Mints) NEW!
Fabulous Fruit (Very Fruity Tropical Mints) NEW!

Curly Wurlys

Imagine my surprise when I discovered this little treasure...

In the very late 70s and early, early 80s, there was a fun candy bar, made by Mars, called the Marathon Bar. It was a long skinny, milk chocolate covered caramel bar that was delicious and a favorite treat that I would get with my Grandpa M. and my dad. In 1981 the candy bar was discontinued. ...sigh...

This candy bar, called the Curly Wurly, is the same size as the original Marathon Bar, and is made by Cadbury, in England.

You can pick up a Curly Wurly in Germany, Canada, or Australia or order some from Old Time Candy.

*** This just in... Cost Plus World Market carries Curly Wurly candy bars for 99 cents each! AWESOME!!

See's Candy as a Thank You Gift

I have a few Thank You gifts that I need to purchase. I'm going to the mall later today, and will be stopping by See's candy. I need a fix... and I think it'll be the perfect place to buy the little gifts that I need.

There is no lollipop better than a See's Lollypop! I love using these as favor gifts for parties, or hand outs! We passed these out, with cute little homemade stickers, when several of our kids were born!

I'm looking forward to an Orange Cream... or a Pineapple Truffle. Or both.

See's Candy!

I love See's Candy! Today I went with my long-time girlfriend and we scored!! The salesgirl was very generous with the free samples!! It was a great end to a fun afternoon spent with friends! To see more information about See's, click here.

P.S. I'm under the impression that candy with a fruit flavor (especially chocolate candy) falls under the FRUIT food group!
