New Potter Candy! Yummy!

Have you ever had a craving for some of Professor Slughorn's Crystallized Pineapple as mentioned in "Half-Blood Prince?" What about Peppermint Toads or Cockroach Clusters? I know I have!! Well now all of us can feed the crave, as there is news on some of the new candies being released this fall before the sixth Harry Potter movie is released. MTV has an article detailing some of the new treats we can expect, including Sugar Quills, Cinnamon Pixies, Peppermint Toads (there's different varieties of chocolate frogs — some are solid, others have rice krispies inside, i.e. a Crunch bar!), and the candied pineapple which is actual dried pineapple coated in sour candy. Other treats include Every-Flavor Chocolates - like Every Flavor Beans, except instead of being jelly beans, these are more like M&Ms, with flavors like grape, pear, coffee, and raspberry, among others. The article describes them as “a strange hybrid of M&Ms and Skittles.” Cockroach Clusters, Sugar Quills, Coconut Ice, Chocolate Wands, Floo Powder (There are 26 flavors in all, “from apple pie to root bear to lemonade, and they all come in little test tubes!”), as well as Dementor's Kisses and even Unicorn Droppings (basically sugar-frosted marbles of gummy candy.)

These offerings sound so DELICIOUS!! I will definitely be sure to have plenty on hand at my next Yule Ball or dinner/tea parties. They make great gifts too (hint, hint)! Another good idea would be to have taste test parties when all these candies are available. Look out, you may be getting an invite via owl post this fall!!
