It's just a mere matter of weeks before Candy Yum Yum! turns 6 years old! I can't believe it. It's actually more like 5 years, because I missed a whole year while I was pregnant, but whatever ... It's time to celebrate! So dear Yumsters, to thank you for your loyalty to all things yummy, I'm having my biggest giveaway ever. One lucky reader-- or maybe two (I haven't decided yet), will receive a big box o' Candy Yum Yum love. Some of it's a surprise, but I can tell you it will include Dove, Hershey's and Wrigley goodies.So how do you get your name in the running for this fantabulous surprise? Leave me a comment saying what you'd like to read more of at Candy Yum Yum! in the next year. Here are the deets: please leave me a way to contact you if your name is picked (in other words, don't sign in as anonymous; you can leave your Google name); and you must live in the continental U.S.
I'll pick the lucky recipient on May 29 at approximately 9 p.m. EST. Good luck to all! I can't wait to hear from you!

AT LAST - another candyholic in the crowd!! YAY!! Omg I luvs candy please I beg you pick me LOL
And I'd love to read about Vegan or Organic Candy choices :) And I think you should dedicate a special section to Reese's PB Cups! LOL
anything to do with candy is fine with me- I love to read about the older candies and the new ones that are coming out- but are they knew or just spinoffs of old discontinued candy...
I guess I'll be the first one to post.
I'd love to see more articles about the history of candy...like when some of it came out, how it was discovered or little trivia about different candy brands and types.
Thanks so much for this giveaway!
I love to read about foreign and organic candy! YUM!

Love candy. So bad for my teeth, but who cares!!!!!!!!!!
anything chocolate sounds good to me. :)
I like to see candy reviews. Especially new products that are easy for us regular folks to find!
I miss some of the older candy from my youth that you can't find anymore...or can you? Remember Razzles and Garbage Pail kids? Are they still around. I'd love to see some posts about "vintage" candy. I wish I still had my collection of Partridge Family trading cards; remember how the gum in those trading cards tasted like cardboard?

Happy Anniversary, Candy Yum Yum!!! (Please don't send us any candy, however.) Happy Birthday, Sugar Baby!!! I'd like to see you become even more famous in the Candy Blogosphere!
I like you to see if you couldn't get a discount code (like 20% off?) for your readers for either Dylan's Candy Shop or See's Candies, or both.

I think it would be fun if you did stuff that was a little more... interactive with candy? Don’t know if that makes sense :P Like maybe arts and crafts type things? So you’ve eaten all your starburst candy and have a bunch of colorful wrappers left over... what do you do? Make an awesome candy wrapper bracelet, WOOT! **points to link**
http://fluffyland.com/blog/?page_id=50
Saving the world one wrapper at a time :D
I know it would take a lot of time on your part ... **does puppy dog eyes** ... but maybe you could find some recipes for making home made candy, make it yourself, take pictures of each step as you do them and the finished product. Then you could perhaps taste test it and review it :D Tell us how yummy or nonedible it was and if you thought it was hard to make or not. Yup yup ^_^ Store bought can’t beat something that was made with love :D
More sales and promotions. Maybe some samples from companies.
I would like to see more variety of candy
I love candy. Gimme more.

Yeah for Candy Yum Yum!
Mr. Goodbar's cousin!
I would like to hear more about chocolate and literature, movies and folklore. Perhaps trivia quizzes, e.g., "Who starred in Chocolat?" or something more inventive than that... just an example. Or more about your charming sister, Bazooka Betsy.
it would be great to see more recipes for candy! neenee838@yahoo.com
I'd like to hear more about some of the good old candy-makers and candy companies. Happy Anniversary!

Thanks!

I've been reading this blog for a while, about two years, and have never commented, because it's so damned good, but I'd like to see more reviews, a la Jim's Chocolate Mission, of regional candies, and discontinued candies...perhaps some funny candy photos.
Cross sections are always great, too. I love it when you do interviews and giveaways, of course, ;) but the reviews are fantastic.
Organizationally, it is smashing! And I can't believe another human found those damned Twilight hearts...
Thanks again, and happy birthday. :)
Foodette
Eeeek, could you combine my posts? I remembered a few more things. :)
In the sidebars, I'd love to see a generic tag- like "reviews" instead of just the brands, and definitely more photos! What I'm most reminded of is your Elvis Banana Creme PB Cup brownies...I salivated for a photo of those!
I would like to see more on small batch artisanal candy makers.
Pick me :)

I would like to see retro candies and candies from around the world.
oh i would like to see something on the "healthiest" candy. We all have a weakness for junk food but some is bad to be better for you than others
Oh wow - as I'm dying to win, I will do my best to give useful feedback :)
1) I see a lot of people wanting reviews of foreign candy. I disagree slightly, because while I am interested in seeing what else is out there, if I can't try it without paying $$$ for shipping or flying to across the world, then I'm not that interested...just jealous that you tried it.
2) Here's what I want: more timely reviews. Sometimes I've already tried a "new" candy that you're reviewing. I completely that candy is often rolled out regionally, and thus it can be harder to get your hands on. But if you became some type of candy insider and got a few sources within Hershey's/Cadbury/etc., this blog would be way above any other blog (this is my fav candy blog regardless).
Good luck, with all these recommendations, and think of me :)

I'd love to see some candy recipes with step-by-step instructions and pictures!
I just found this blog tonight. I'd like to see more posts on anything candy! Especially chocolate!
So when I was in Bahrain whilst in the Navy I fell in LOVE with Galaxy bars. Made by Mars and exported by a company in Dubai, Galaxy bars are heavenly! They are WAY YUM YUM candy! I recently found a British supermarket near me, and they had the delightful bits of wonder there for awhile, but alas, they are not importing them any longer. So I would like to hear what you think of Galaxy choclates.

I would love to read about popular candies in other countries.
Tracyf2386@aol.com
Actually, I think the content is fine as it is. Maybe a few more reviews on any type of candy... I don't really care what type of candy it is, as long as it is candy! Also, I would love to see some more pictures with each post!
More history on candy. I love the ol time candy!
Oh my goodness, I am soooo thrilled to see this contest. And happy 6th! Candy has always been my passion. Especially anything chocolate.
I remember racing my sister to the candy aisle in the store to grab more Sweet Tart packs than she did. :-) And I always traded my non-chocolate Easter candy to my little brother for his hollow bunny 'cause he didn't know any better. :-)
Blog content... I'd love to see tons and tons of recipes that use chocolate. Otherwise everything's great as is!
recipes or creative ideas are great! (and so is free candy! ;-))

I would like to see you address the fact that people who like dark chocolate feel that they are better than those who like milk chocolate. I would like you to tell them that it is a matter of taste. And that they're probably lying about prefering dark chocolate so that they look more sophisticated.
