my favorite candy are probably homemade caramels. i love to make different versions, i.e. bacon caramels, fluer de sel-topped caramels, espresso caramels, cocoa nibs caramel, caramels dipped in dark chocolate.
i also love really good quality black licorice, and dark chocolate. the darker, the better.
i've recently become a huge fan of vosges chocolate bars. last night i ate part of a coconut curry bar that was really fabulous. ; p.
i hate any candy that is super tough, i.e. jujus, too sweet (most milk chocolate).
oh and those cherry cordials. they're nasty. what a waste of a perfectly good cherry. and what's that sludge inside?
