Habanero Chili Gummy Bears

by James Plafke | 3:35 pm, May 2nd

Available for pre-order over at Firebox, these habanero chili-infused gummy bears are basically the most perfect candy if you like spicy food, and can’t live without gummy bears.

Just In Time for Valentine’s Day: Creepily Realistic Chocolate Heart

by Max Eddy | 10:01 am, February 9th

Nothing says “I love you!” quite like a disturbingly realistic recreation of the human heart cast in chocolate. I hope that the chambers each have a different filling. I call caramel, but I’ll take cherry creme if I must.

Eric Limer It's really a shame that writers spend so much of their time writing, which is -- coincidentally -- a very boring thing to write about.
