Solar System Chocolate Truffle Set Looks Out of This World

Posted on by

Crafted by Martin’s Chocolatier of the UK, this $20 Chocolate Planets gift set (affiliate link) includes nine different chocolate truffles, each representing a planet in our solar system, plus the Sun. Personally, I would have forgone the Sun and included Pluto instead, but they surprisingly didn’t ask my opinion before bringing the product to market. I’m as shocked and outraged as you are. Planetary lollipops more your cup of tea? No worries, those exist too.

Each planet is a different flavored truffle, including orange cream, chili/cherry ganache, peach cream, praline cream, caramel salt, praline, mocha cream, blueberry ganache, and toffee caramel. Obviously, I’m going to refrain from making jokes about the flavor of Uranus, because, as my wife often utters (while rolling her eyes) in front of friends after I’ve said something entirely inappropriate, “Oh grow up, will you?”

At nearly $2 per planet, I’d almost feel bad eating them. Almost. Then I’d eat them all in one sitting, barely pausing to notice the flavors because that’s just the sort of devourer of worlds that I am – one without any self-control.

Freeze-Dried Candy: For Topping Your Astronaut Ice Cream

Posted on by

Because nothing says I’m eating like an astronaut like freeze-dried foods, this is the collection of freeze-dried candies available from Etsy shop Stellar Rabbit Foods. Available in Rainbow Puffs (Skittles), Worm Puffs (gummy worms), Mega Blasts (Starburst) and Tart Puffs (SweetTARTS) varieties, each 1-ounce bag costs $8 and is sure to put a smile on your face, and a cavity in that smile.

Just what does the freeze-drying process do to candy? Well according to the company, it “transforms once chewy candies into an airy, light, crunchy and melt in your mouth texture. The process of freeze-drying our candy intensifies the flavors making them even better than before! Take a moment and savor flavor before crunching down into them!” Yum! I think it goes without saying I just ordered a bag of each.

I remember when I was a kid I would eat a bar of chalky, freeze-dried ice cream and daydream about traveling among the stars. Now I’m afraid to travel higher than the third floor of any building and cry on Ferris wheels. Long story short, I’m not an astronaut.

Green Bean, Corn, and Carrot-flavored Hard Candies: Be Sure to Eat Your Veggies

Posted on by

Because apparently there’s a market for absolutely everything, Archie McPhee has created these hard candies that taste like vegetables. A 2.5-ounce tin will set you back $5 and contains a mix of green bean, corn, and carrot flavored candies. Can anybody else feel their lunch rising in their throat?

These would be perfect to set out on your coffee table and wait to see a friend’s reaction when they eat one. They would also be perfect to hand out on Halloween, although you won’t get to see the reactions of the children when they eat them unless they’re your own children, in which case I say go for it – it’s never too early to start developing those trust issues.

Apparently, the flavors are so realistic that “they’ll freak out your mouth.” Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my mouth freaked out any more than it already is. That said, if my mom agrees I can have dessert if I eat these in place of my actual vegetables I will swallow them whole, wrappers and all.

Ketchup Flavored Candy Canes Are the Ultimate Christmas Condiment

Posted on by

Were you a good boy or girl this year? Doesn’t matter, 2020 has spoken and we’re all getting ketchup flavored candy canes for Christmas anyways. Created by Archie McPhee, a six-pack of “rich tomato flavor” ketchup candy canes costs $6.50 and is sure to be absent from every single Christmas list this year. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t getting them anyways!

I think my favorite part about these things is they look just like traditional candy canes, so you kids won’t realize Santa thought they were bad this year until it’s too late. Will I still sharpen the end of mine to a point and poke my brother in the leg with it until he tells on me? Well, it wouldn’t be Christmas if I didn’t, now would it? They’re called traditions after all.

So… are you thinking what I’m thinking? If it’s “I wonder what one of these would taste like melted on a hotdog” you are! And I, for one, plan on finding out. If it’s as delicious as I imagine, fingers crossed for spicy mustard and sauerkraut candy canes next year!

Skittles Giants are the Giant Skittles We Didn’t Know We Needed

Posted on by

If you ask me and my sweet tooth, the only thing better than candy is bigger candy. Thankfully, the sugar gods are shining down upon us with a new blessing today, in the form of Skittles Giants.

The new candy is the same as regular Skittles, only three times larger! So no longer do you need to stick three Skittles in your mouth to get that effect, you just need one. Skittles Giants recently started turning up on shelves in the UK, and are making us here in the States and other countries very jealous today. Just look at these things. The packaging alone makes them look three times as appealing as regular Skittles.

The Mars Wrigley company hasn’t announced any plans to bring Skittles Giants stateside yet, but I plan on bringing a case of them home the next time I travel to England. In the mean time, keep your eye out on eBay for enterprising importers willing to ship them overseas.

Glow in the Dark Halloween Candy (Wrappers)

Posted on by


Step up your Halloween candy game this year with glow in the dark candy. Well just to be clear, it’s the wrappers that actually glow, not the candy, that would probably be deadly. Or would at least lead to some interesting after effects if you did eat them as they come out the other side if you know what we’re saying here. It would be the asparagus of sugar. Well that paragraph really took a turn, didn’t it?

Anyway, Hersheys is really stepping it up this year with Glow in the Dark Halloween candy. You can charge them up under a bright light for the brightest glowing action. Better yet, set them up under a blacklight at your Halloween party for some groovy glow sweetness.

As you can see, it comes in a variety pack of three of Hershey’s classics- Hershey’s, Kit Kats, and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Why no love for my (and E.T.’s) favorite the Reeses Pieces? These are the miniature sizes, so it’s ok to eat as many as you want I’m pretty sure. I’ll take the Kit Kats- all of them.

Pizza Candy Canes: You Wanna Pizza Me?

Posted on by

The summer is coming to an end soon, so that could mean only one thing… candy cane season is just around the corner! Don’t just go with those ordinary peppermint candy canes this year, do something a little different. I’m thinking maybe some tomato, mozzarella, and pepperoni flavored ones.

I’m honestly not sure what to make of Archie McPhee’s latest candy cane concoction, but I like pizza, and I like candy, so maybe I’ll like these? Who knows. At least each one has fewer calories and fat than an actual slice of pizza, so they’ve got that going for them.

The pizza candy canes join McPhee’s other unusual flavors, which include bacon, kale,  clam, pickle, and mac and cheese.

These Qi Wireless Chargers Look Like Lollipops

Posted on by

Qi wireless charging docks are a dime a dozen these days. So if you want your desktop to stand out from the crowd, you might want to pick up something a little different. How about a charging station that looks like a giant lollipop?

 

If Willy Wonka made wireless chargers, they’d look something like these. While they look delicious in those festive colors, I don’t imagine they’d taste very good if you bit into one. Better stick to licking. Or maybe skip that too.

They come in four festive colors, and you can grab one of these festive wireless chargers over on Amazon for about $27.

Wilford Brimley Would Hate this Giant 225lb Gummy Pizza

Posted on by

Simply looking at this massive gummy pizza will give you diabeetus. This insane edible weighs in at 225 pounds and was made by the lovers of all things gummy at Vat19. These are the same folks with that gummy pickle we talked about a not long ago.

It was created to look like another gummy pizza the company sells, only much, much bigger. Each color of the pizza is a different flavor, and single slice weighs in at 28 pounds. Check out the video to see how they made it:

It has orange for the crust, strawberry-banana for the cheese, mango for the banana peppers, green apple for the olives, and cherry for the pepperoni. I CAN HAZ THIS?!

You can buy a slice of this pie for $149.99, which means that for just under $1200, you can replicate the full 8-slice pizza shown in the video.
