Pam,

Here is the picture I took of the kids with their “hi, Sweetie” candy.
Everyone liked all of the candy. My personal favorites are the
chocolate covered raisins and the chocolate covered peanuts. Thanks for being
such a sweetie and for being such a good friend to my mom. Let my mom
know when the website is updated so we can check it out or send me an
e-mail. We will see you in a few weeks. We will be back for my high
school reunion the weekend of August 10th.

Take care,
Lynn

I read today in the paper that your candy store will be
featured on Food Network.  Way to Go!!!!  My daughter and I had
visited you’re store after she had a series of shots at Children and
Teens; you sure did cheer her up.  You are an extremely delightful woman.

 

Congrats

Ireland and Denmark top confectionery consumption charts

Filed under: General — hisweetie @ 4:39 am


20/01/2006- Ireland
has the highest per capita consumption of chocolate in the world,
whilst the
Danes consume the most sugar confectionery, according to the
latest figures.


The Irish manage to eat their way through 11.2kg each of chocolate
confectionery a year, more than double the amount of the US, according
to a report by Food from Britain.Denmark has the highest sugar confectionery per capita consumption in the world at 7.81kg.

The Swiss are the second largest per capita consumers of chocolate with
10.7kg whilst Finland, at 6.61kg, consumes the second largest amount of
sugar confectionery per capita.

Europe’s two biggest chocolate markets in terms of value are the UK and Germany.

Despite the UK’s chocolate market being worth £4.9 billion (€7 billion)
in 2004, Brits only consume 9.8kg a year, putting them in third place.

Germany’s chocolate confectionery market is the second biggest in
Europe, worth £3.7 billion (€5.4 billion), and the German’s per capita
consumption is the world’s fourth largest at 8.3kg.

Ireland’s chocolate market is worth only £373.2 million (€544m) the
twelfth biggest in Europe, although the emerald isle is the UK’s
biggest export market.

Switzerland has Europe’s sixth most valuable chocolate market, worth £613.2 million (€894m).

In sugar confectionery the top two per capita consuming countries are also far from being the top markets in terms of value.

Denmark’s market is ninth, £345.1 million (€503m), and Finland’s is tenth, £262.7 million (€383m).

The UK and Germany lead the way again in terms of their sugar confectionery market’s value.

The UK sugar confectionery market is worth £1.5 billion (€2.2bn),
although only consumes 4.89kg per year, the fifth most per capita in
the world.

Germany’s is worth £1.4 billion (€2nb) with the sixth highest per capita consumer in the world at 4.4kg.

Candy Cake Train

Filed under: Candy Stories — hisweetie @ 4:32 am


Hi Pam,

 

I’m not sure if you remember me…I came in your store
with my mom and dad to shop for candy to make a train cake.  I told you
I would send you a picture of it (compliments of your candy and helpful
suggestions).  The cake was a huge success with the kids and the adults
loved it too. 

 

If you’re ever interested in a candy tester, I’m here in Hawaii and would love to help out. 

 

Talk to you soon.

Can't find these Altoids in England !

Filed under: Help me find this Candy — hisweetie @ 5:51 am

Hi.
    Thanks very much for your efforts  in getting
the Altoids Sours for us in time for our trip to
England. Our friend, Lionel, very much appreciated
them. His son works for the company that makes the
tins for the Altoids but they can’t buy them in the
UK at the present time.
    I’ve attached a photo of Lionel with the Altoids.
