New Product Alert: RadPack Extreme Gumballs 0

Posted by Sue Gillerlain | Tags: , , , , , ,

Radpack Gumballs

OK, get ready for five completely radical gumballs in one pack: Flaming Hot, Foaming, Colorful, Extremely Cool, and Super Sour.

Each of the five flavors in SweetWorks’ new Radpack Bubble Gumballs mix is over-the-top, and that’s an understatement.

Meet Ball of Fire, a gumball that gives habañero a run for its money; Mouth Mess, which oozes color and will instantly turn your tongue into a Picasso; Super Sour, a gumball guaranteed to make you wince (and possibly cry); Extreme Cool with ridiculously icy mint flavor; and Foaming Flavor, which should be avoided at all costs when wearing white.

If that doesn’t pique your interest, these extreme gumballs are also gluten-free, kosher-certified … and perfect for ambushing unsuspecting friends who are fully expecting a classic, cherry-flavored gumball. So evil.

We double-dog dare you to try a Radpack and give it a review at Candy.com. C’mon … do it!

Mardi Gras Candy Beads 0

Posted by Sue Gillerlain | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Inspiration struck today. Shocker. While contemplating how to string green, purple, and gold candy beads into Mardi Gras necklaces, I spied super clever gumball necklaces from One Charming Party on Pinterest. Aha!

Using purple, green, and shimmer gold gumballs, vibrant purple ribbon, a sharp tack, embroidery needle, and One Charming Party’s know-how, these edible Mardi Gras beads unfolded …

Originally, I set out to string Sixlets, but they cracked when met with a needle. Oak Leaf’s beautiful 1-inch green, purple, and shimmer gold gumballs worked like a charm!

To puncture both sides of the gumballs, I used a razor sharp upholstery tack. Not one shell cracked in the process. Miracle!

Next, I threaded a wide-eyed embroidery needle with 1/4-inch purple ribbon and pulled it through each gumball with a little help from pliers.

And, just as One Charming Party suggested, I tied a knot in between gumballs, and finished off each necklace with a bow. (Note: Gumballs do get heavy when strung together, so I kept each necklace to 10 “beads.”)

Based on prelim feedback, “Mardi Gum” necklaces are serious conversation starters, so start your Mardi Gras party with them.

One more sweet tip for Fat Tuesday, Feb. 21: “Rim” classic hurricane glasses with purple, green, and gold candy pearls. Pretty!
