Introduction

This blog is a candy review blog. That simple. I like candy. I wish to share my views and others eventually on the subject.

I had planned on a web site but this might be easier to start. My goals were to create an area/place that would be:

a. be interesting to me and others
b. something I enjoy doing
c. able support itself (maybe)

2 or 3 years ago I shared this idea with one other - I thought we would put together a web site but it never happened. I won't put this person's name on the site. But since I'm honest I will contact this person if the site starts. I will start with this blog to see if I can generate any interest and build a web site either after or in parallel depending on my time.
