Candy Dish Blog

Susan S, Tori, Susan and Carl celebrate one year of blogging about candy by raiding NCA's Candy Store!

As Carl mentioned yesterday, the Candy Dish blog just celebrated its one year anniversary.  In that time, we’ve published more than 375 posts.  Since we don’t normally post anything on weekends (that’s when Tori attends Virginia Tech football games, Carl takes photos, Susan S. hikes at Sugarloaf Mountain, and I exhibit at craft shows), that means we average more than one post a day.  And that, loyal readers, means you’ve been super busy keeping up with all that reading.  

I’m sure you’ve read every single post along the way.  Right?  Well, just in case you missed any, here are the top ten posts of the past year:

10. The World’s Top Ten Best Selling Candies (probably self explanatory)

9. Fun Facts About Gum (ditto)

8. Storing Candy for Maximum Shelf Life (keep that candy long after you put away the Halloween costumes)

7. Thank Ya Easter Bunny (a contest)

6. Chocolate Wedding Cakes (for anyone keeping score, we went with chocolate CUPCAKES!)

5. Variations in Candy (a guide to normal variations that occur in the manufacturing process)

4. Photo Wednesday: Susan’s Wedding Candy Buffet (it was hit a the wedding and on the blog)

3. Fun Facts About Easter Candy (you can probably guess what this is about – chocolate pumpkins and candy canes)

2. Peep Show – Annual Peeps Diorama Contest (we just can’t get enough marshmallow art)

and the number one post during our first year of life was …

1. Free Chocolate Fridays – Thanks, Mars! (because if there is one thing better than chocolate, it’s free chocolate!)

Thanks your support this year.  Keep reading, and please let us know if there are topics you’d like us to cover more (or less).
