Chewy Chocolate Rolls
October 31, 2012
Trick-or-treating is a tradition for children on Halloween in a lot of countries. Children go from house to house dressed in costumes and ask for treats like candies. The magical question is "Trick or treat?", with the “trick being a threat to pull naughtiness on the owner of the house if they don’t get their 'treat.'”
Halloween is that sweet time of the year when little kids are allowed to devour the candies they have collected. This treat could be one of them!

A little piece of candy here and there may not be harmful, but an average Jack-O-Lantern bucket pretty much holds about 250 pieces of candy, which altogether approximately totals 9,000 calories and have about three pounds of sugar. Imagine that going into your system. Even for adults, it’s a heck of a lot!

Do you want to know the most popular chocolate treat for this year’s Halloween?
Chocolate fangs and all things vampire! It’s not a shock, of course, thanks to the “Twilight” movies and “True Blood” television show.
Chocolatiers say many varieties of chocolate fangs are flying of the shelves. Some of the vampire teeth are solid dark chocolate while other are filled with fudge or peanut butter.

Halloween Bark!
October 20, 2010
Almond Bark or candy bark is a thin confectionery coating usually made with nuts and added flavors (like peppermint or vanilla) and/or added colors. The “bark” can be sold in blocks or discs for home candy making and dipping. This is not “real” chocolate, but a confection commonly used in place of real chocolate because it hardens without having to temper it first.
The term bark is typically associated with confectionery coating, but I have seen chocolate bark being sold, especially around holidays. I think that regardless of which type of coating the bark is made from, the common factor is that the final product resembles bark on a tree; thin and bumpy.
