When my Partner-In-Crime, Lilac, told me that she lives within walking 
distance from this store I asked her pretty please and she sent me a whole 
bunch of Harry Potter candies.  I just spent a happy afternoon breaking my 
diet on the back porch in the warmth of the sun.  The Sherbet Lemons were 
cool...reminiscent of Life Savers with a sour liquid center (she writes as 
she unwraps one...Oooo, green!)

The Chocolate Frogs taste like they are made from the same chocolate as 
those Easter Bunnies you get this time of year.  I got a Harry Potter card 
(darn!  I wanted Agrippa!).  The Honeydukes Best Chocolate I couldn't eat 
since they had egg yolks in them, but they look like glorified 3 Musketeers 
bars, with the nougat center and this strip of green stuff across the top.  
I was hoping they would be more like a chocolate bar since it's described in 
canon that they break the bar into pieces.  Oh well.

There where "new flavours" in the Every Flavor Beans: carrot, tomato and 
horseradish.  But I still say nothing beats grass.

And my favorite is the same as Kristi's; the Fizzing Whizzbees.  I imagined 
them to be something like Pop Rocks, but they're not.  It's like a candy 
that is so sweet-sour you can't do nothing but pucker your lips and make 
faces while you suck on them.  But surprisingly it melts very quickly and 
you have this little chewy center (she writes as she pops one in her mouth). 
  And afterwards, if you happen to belch, the flavor comes deliciously back 
at you!  :D

So now I'm buzzing off my sugar high, feeling goofy and wanting to share 
this with all of ya's.  Being an adult means you can eat sweets for dinner 
and nobody can tell you that you can't ;)

And if you should survive
'Till a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive
Out of being alive
And here is the best part
You'll have a head start
If you are among
The very young at heart
