Peanut Buttery Chocolate Flavor

As you all know, this week's candy is Reese's. Now, as the week draws to an end, I thought I might post some stuff about Reese's and what uses Reese's. One of the most common products in Reese's Puffs. I'm sure that all of you have seen the multiple commercials on T.V. about it, telling about the goodness it possess, which is 100% true. If you want to find out more about this delectable cereal, look in the box of chocolates where I have provided a link to the company's home page.

Also, another popular Reese's product is Reese's Pieces. These little candies are like mini bite sized Reese's in every bite! You can also find more information about them in the box of chocolates thing on the left hand side of the page. Enjoy!

A Mistake of Goodness

Hey everyone! Now, judging by the poll, it looks like a have to pick a favorite for the candy of the week. This week is a favorite.... wining about 44% of the poll so far.... and its..... REESE'S! How can you not love this delicious piece of candy. I mean really, chocolate and peanut butter, 2 of the most delicious things in the world combined to form this candy. Now, I already have had questions about this yummy treat, the first being on how it got its name?

Well, to make the questions subside, I will answer it.

As a former employee of Milton Hershey, Harry Burnett Reese was always inspire by Hershey to make his own candy. He left the Hershey dairy factory where he was working and decided to start his own candy. He experimented with different candies and, before World War II, sold candies called Johnny Bars and Lizzie Bars (caramel like molassas and coconut candy) and his now famous Reese's. During the war, he had to discontinue the other candies and focus on the one that was really selling, the Reese's. By the 40's everyone was familiar with the brown, orange, and yellow packaging and loved the taste. In 1963, the two candy companies (H.B. Reese's and Hershey's) combined to form the American favorite, the Reese's.

So in short, the Reese's was named after the guy who made them. Remember, any questions just ask and don't forget to vote on the poll, its almost done!

Candy Sushi

Now, since its about time that I change the candy of the week, I thought that I would give one last Twizzler post before saying goodbye to this tasty candy. Its a recipe a thought that everyone would love. Its candy sushi. This is one of the many types of candy sushi, this one happens to resemble a California Roll. I didn't include a recipe for Rice Krispie treats because everyone makes them there own unique and special way so enjoy!

Candy Sushi

Ingredients:

• Hot, homemade Rice Krispie treats in long, thin slabs
• Wax paper
• Colored/regular Twizzlers (whatever you prefer)
• Gummi Worms
• JuJube Fish
• Fruit Roll-Ups (Green looks best but it really doesn't matter)

Instructions:

1. Trim the slabs of Rice Krispie treats into nice, thin, neat rectangles and stack them on wax paper.

2. Cut candy into pieces as long as your Rice Krispie rectangles are wide. Place the candy in the middle of the rectangle. Roll the Rice Krispie treats tightly around the candy, making sure it doesn't get too thick.

3. Trim the excess candy or Rice Krispie with a sharp knife.

4. Once you have trimmed the roll, wrap the fruit roll up around it. Remember to remove fruit roll-up paper.

5. Now cut it into 1-2 inch cylinders (like a California Roll would be) with a sharp knife and enjoy this tasty little treat!

Also, thank you everyone (the four of you) for the people who voted on the poll of which drink does a Twizzler taste the best in. The winning drink, with 50% of the votes was... Sprite with Diet Coke / CocaCola and Root Beer following at 25% each.
