I love this time of the year! It brings me back to the east with
falling leaves, the smell of fires burning at night in the cool air, hot cocoa,
or hot apple cider, pumpkins, family dinners, college football games, sweatshirts,
warm fuzzy socks. It is all such great memories that I could never forget. I’m
starting to plan for the family feast “Thanksgiving” and that means I
get to have some fun in the kitchen and enjoy it! Homemade this and that,
cookies, pies, treats, breads, to fill the kitchen up with all the recipe articles
that I have been ripping out from the tons of magazines that I have been saving.
Thinking, “I could make that”, “that looks pretty simple and
sweet”
ok so I’m no Martha Stewart but I’m definitely going to give it the
ole college try! So now I have to find that darn apron, I have to at least look
the part!

Did you hear that Madonna just opened up a new gym in Mexico City called Hard Candy Fitness Gym? What a great name for a fitness club! Why didn't I think of that! Now, since we here at Southwest Candy are in the actual candy business I have to mention some great hard candy we have that you could use as a little pick me up after a great workout! And since these little goodies are low in calories it won't cancel out your workout!
 
Assorted Fruit Disks! Assorted Star Brites!
 
Yummy Assorted Rods! Refreshing Peppermint Starlights!
 
Jolly Ranchers! A&W Root Beer Barrels!
And so many more! Congratulations Madonna! Those of us who remember you from the 80's are very happy you are still coming up with great new ideas!

Southwest Candy is your Peppermint Candy Connection!
With so many options to choose from, here is a short review of our bulk peppermint candy options….
 Lifesaver Pep-O-Mint-> classic peppermint flavor. Favored by the senior-citizen population. Cool burst of peppermint when you bite into it. Individually wrapped in clear wrapper.
 Atkinson Red, White, and Blue Mint Lumps-> good flavor, great price. Esthetically appealing- perfect to use in a candy jar. A favorite of one of our Southwest Candy employees.
 Primrose Peppermint Starlights (we even have these in sugar-free)-> On our Value Candy list. A very "holiday" look for a candy dish. Good, solid peppermint taste.
 Quality Candy Soft Peppermint Stripes-> a soft version of a great-tasting candy! Has texture of a buttermint, but more powerful peppermint flavor. Another product with a great price. Comes bulk packed.
 Beechies Peppermint chewing gum-> inexpensive, awesome candy-coated chewing gum, with breath-freshening peppermint flavor. You get 2 squares of gum in each box.
 Brach Peppermint Starbrites-> A name brand you can trust and a quality product that delivers good flavor and good texture.
 And now, Atkinson has Blue Peppermint Cubes! I am telling you these are my new favorite candy to snack on! Cool and refreshing, authentic peppermint flavor you will not be disappointed!

Father's Day is in two weeks so if you are out of ideas, turn to candy to help revive your creative side.
My dad is a lover of Tootsie Rolls Assorted Flavors. Soft and juicy flavors of lime, orange, lemon, vanilla, and cherry- put a smile on my pop's face!
Another recommendation would be the ever-famous Root beer Barrel. Like a creamy soda pop, the root beer barrel has that tang and fizz with each taste.
Now let's talk caramel. My step-father puts his blood sugar into a spin everytime he walks past the Goetze Caramel Creams- also known as, Bullseyes. I have to admit I am a sucker for these as well.
My father-in-law is kind of a nutty guy. He enjoys his pecans, peanuts, pistachios, etc. So a recommendation for him might beHoneycombed Peanuts hard candy.
My hubby has a favorite that is quite fitting- he's my Bit-O-Honey and so is his favorite candy.
Now if dad favors chocolate, might I suggest the fabulous Riesens? European chocolate with chewy caramel inside- a lovely combination that tells your main man, "you matter to me!"
Last but not least, if dad has lived his life well and spoiled himself silly with too much candy, he may need our sugar-free line of candy. Fortunately we have a great assortment of candy and lollipops- even sugar-free caramels for sugar happy daddy.
Shower dad with love, and sprinkle him with candy! After all, "He brought you into this world, and he can take you out"- Bill Cosby

Close your eyes and imagine a place where you can sample all the candy you want, AND go home with a bag of candy that you can fill until you can't fit anymore- welcome to Chicago's All Candy Expo. Its new name, is The Sweets & Snacks Expo- I guess they have expanded beyond just candy these days. Perhaps it is a way of giving savory treats some publicity? I'm down with that- salty foods need props too.
All the big name brands (to name a few): Jelly Belly, Tootsie Roll, Wrigley, Nestle, Hershey, Spangler, Charms, Brach, Farley & Sathers- they will all be there ready to impress the distributors with mouth-watering new candy lines. I remember going there as a kid and I was so excited to sample Reeses' Nutrageous before it even set foot out on the market!
So if you are a bulk candy/snacks distributor, a vending machine owner, or you're just plain lucky enough to get hooked up with a pass to go to the show, here is some advice before you go:
1- If you are a diabetic, bring some insulin!
2- Eat your protein for breakfast because it is carbohydrate city once you walk through the doors!
3- It wouldn't hurt to get in an early workout prior to going- it'll make you feel less guilty when you go home with a belly ache.
4- Bring a Tide Pen. You might get a chocolate stain on your clothes from sampling!
5- Bring the largest purse you have in your closet- might I recommend a Louis Vuitton Speedy 35?
