We’ve been previewing new candy items all week and now you have a chance to win a prize pack full of new stuff. We have five prizes to give away and this time it’s going to be a random drawing. All you have to do is leave a comment below and you’ll be entered.
If you want to stack the odds in your favor, do any of the following:
1. Blog about the Candy Dish blog or our candy giveaway contest
2. Tweet about us
3. Follow us on Twitter (CandyUSA)
4. Join our Facebook Group (CandyUSA)
5. Post a candy or chocolate photo to our Flickr Pool (CandyDish Blog)
When you do any of those things, post an additional comment letting us know (include the blog link, tell us what name you’re following us as on Twitter or Facebook, share your tweet or link to your Flickr photo). It’s that simple.
The winners will be announced on Tuesday, May 26 when we all return from the EXPO. Look for Carl to post a few things next week about the show and be sure to check out our Tweets to see what we’re up to in Chicago.

Hi I can’t find you on Facebook! Maybe you could give me a pointer or link or an invite or suggestion or something?
Please I really want to win this contest.
9:11 am on May 16th, 2009
Okay, this one is a question. How many prize bags did you put together? for the contest?
9:38 am on May 16th, 2009
Laura, try searching in groups for CandyUSA. You may be doing a people search instead of group search.
Your other question – we have five bags stuffed tight as a drum with candy. These aren’t lunch sacks either. They are the fabric bags you get at the supermarket. And believe me when I say that they are a bit heavy, laden with sweet treats!
