Scandybars is one of the strangest sites I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got their Snickers wedged into their scanners, or why.

What's disgusting, looks like a peanut and tastes (vaguely) like a banana? A
Circus Peanut! They are so reviled, they merit
a page on bad-candy.com. Strangely, though, Circus Peanut sales are up, at least
according to "USA Today" (most interesting link of this post). How can this be? I've never met anyone who likes them (except for one person -- see [more inside]).
Margaret Husfelt of Houston, Texas is equally confused. SOMEBODY must like them. The little suckers have a
Facebook fan page, and they are, perhaps, palatable in a
Jello recipe (here's an
alternate recipe) or
dipped in chocolate. Heck, Jolene Sugarbaker likes them in
her salad. And if you're really brave, you might want to try a
Circus Peanut Margarita. But don't be surprised if you get ostracized.
Some people will
never understand. Where's the love?

Friday Frivolity.
We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose. A r
ecipe for the infamous
Crunchy Frog. No frogs were killed in the making of this recipe.

According to legend, Einstein was eating chocolate when he came upon the theory of relativity. These sites are all about chocolate and candy in general.
Chocolate Obsession.
Hyperbole? Maybe. Just a little. Ok, a lot. Chocolate does have a lot to offer, though. It is a one of a kind food characterized by a truly unique and intense flavor. The idea of
Jim's Chocolate Mission came after a discussion with friends about the greatest chocolate bar. Was is the Wispa? Galaxy? Clark?
The Chocolate Review is most likely to review English chocolate because that's where they're from, but they also do imports.

My coworker from Buffalo NY brought in a bunch of
sponge candy from back home and I was just about the only one who liked it. You can also
make the stuff at home. Well someone can. Apparently it can only be made in winter, on account of the temperature needing to be just right for the crunchy center to set. Don't let the hot wings steal your glory, sponge candy!
Which are also available, rendered in chocolate from the same site.

You can't POSSIBLY be serious. The fact that modern breakfast foods (or at least, foods normally associated with breakfast) have expanded to include items such as cereals whose
marshmallow content threatens to outweigh the actual nutritious content, slightly more nutritious items
covered in frosting, and of course, the wide variety of chocolate flavored items, cereals, milk, muffins, and so on. But that's just breakfast. Now, however,
we're getting into personal hygiene. And that may just be
Snakes On A Plane dangerous.
