Just in time for Halloween:
That’s pretty much the dietary philosophy around here, at least for the next week to ten days, or until all the chocolate is gone and there’s nothing left but gum balls and candy corn.

Nothing Says “Holiday Season” Like His Noodly Appendages
Over the weekend, blog-buddy Karan asked some of us if we had any great ideas for homemade food gifts to give to family and friends for the holiday season. Quite honestly, we’ve neither given nor received much in the way of homemade food items, but when I ran across this tasty confection I knew right away that it was the PERFECT holiday food gift item for anyone! Here’s the recipe. (via The Friendly Atheist)

What? No Lark’s Vomit? No Steel Bolts?
As Seen On The Internet: the fellows at Evil Mad Scientist.com have developed a recipe for making a simulacrum of the infamous Whizzo Chocolate Company’s “Crunchy Frog” confection.
Fortunately, this concoction (actual photo above) is made with gummi frogs, chocolate, and Pop Rocks (for that authentic bony crunch). I suppose short of using crunchy raw unboned real dead frogs, this is about as close as you’re going to get.

Candy Is Dandy, But Liquor Is Quicker
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about someone making Skittles-infused vodka, which didn’t exactly thrill me as a must-try thing, but this idea has a bit more potential: vodka-soaked gummy bears.
They tried a variety of “gummy” candies; in addition to regular gummy bears, they tried the sugar-free kind, gummy worms, and Swedish Fish. Apparently the Swedish Fish didn’t turn out so well, but the others all worked fine. They liked the sugar-free gummy bears the best, but be careful about eating sugar-free gummies because they contain the sugar alcohol sorbitol, and too much of it will give you horrible gas, stomach cramps and explosive diarrhea…although, I suppose if you’ve already committed to the vomiting and drunken stupos from eating vodka-soaked gummies, you’re probably not going to worry too much about shitting your pants.
