“This book is pretty interesting, it explores how small regional candies are made. Mostly because the big chocolate companies, Mars, Nestle and Hershey’s won’t let anyone in to see their facilities. The process is really fascinating and I discovered some really interesting candies while reading this book, one being the GooGoo Cluster which is a southern treat so sweet it will make your teeth hurt (Southerners eat it with a can of Dr. Pepper to wash it down, ick). The other major discovery is the valomilk which is probably the best mass produced candy I’ve ever had. Its made practically by hand with top quality chocolate and Madagascar vanilla. It is soo good. They sell them at Cracker Barrel. Everyone should try them.”
