Twizzlers

Licorice candy is one of my favorites and Twizzlers are my favorite licorice.  So figures I would eat almost all the Twizzlers in my taste sample before I actually get to do my blog entry.  Of particular enjoyment are the Twizzlers Nibs Cherry Bits.

Talking Candy Bars

I have always said when talking candy we need to talk about candy bars.  With a little liberty in mind a candy bar is a block of candy shaped in the form of a bar.  Now I actually consider some bags of candy such as the M&M candy bags a candy bar product as well.  Another, on the fringe of the purest description of a candy bar is a York Mint.  It is not quite a bar but I believe it is close enough.
