silver and gold candy necklace

i used to love those chalky pastel candy necklaces when i was a kid, and now i can have a permanent reminder of a favorite childhood memory with this silver and gold-plated necklace from the clever folks at atypyk.

i love the styling in this photo that makes it look like some of the “candies” have been eaten.

85€ (us $119) and a lot more witty products right here.

the cocoa room candies

look at these delicious dragées from chicago candymaker suzanne weaver for her company the cocoa room. suzanne enrobes fruits, macadamias, pistachios, sunflower seeds and more in a snug layer of chocolate, and then finishes them with a dazzling candy coating. they’re much more sophisticated (and healthy) to me than those other candy coated chocolates we know!

the candy comes in practically every color of the rainbow and lots of different combinations. wouldn’t it make a lovely party favor?

see their website for more delicious info!

fun bloomsberry and co. chocolate

i was minding my own business today, and decided to splurge and grab lunch today at trotter’s to go. when i went to pay, i discovered these milk and dark chocolate candy bars from new zealand’s bloomsberry chocolate company. their packaging is so clever, i just had to share it with you!

the bloomsberry folks were just minding their own business too, on the other side of the world, when people from all nations discovered them, consumed them and requested them. now their popularity has risen to tremendous heights, and they sell their delicious confections around the globe!

tell me you don’t love their bochox — so funny!

see more jocular selections, an informative explanation of how chocolate is harvested and a store finder on their website.

stainless cocoon collection from philippi

these stainless steel fruit and candy bowls from denmark’s philippi design remind me of a fabulous 1950’s mod spaceship that i would like to fly in, jetsons style.

founded by jan philippi in 1992, the philosophy behind this design house focuses on clear, modern simplicity. the contemporary point of view comes through consistently in all their pieces.

i even like the salt and pepper orbs and the, er, sugar pill bowl.
