Pretty Pictures!

Kevin Keeker, our resident photographer, visited Susan in the kitchen earlier this week as she was prepping for IHIH. These shots are too good not to share with everyone.

The coloring for a batch of Sweethearts has just been added.

Sweethearts: Twilight-inspired Lollipops

If you’ve read Twilight, you know it seems like every male Bella’s age in the town of Forks has had a crush on her at some point. She’s easy to fall in love with; inspiring fierce loyalty in Jacob, and turning the heads of her classmates. However, Edward is the one who captured her heart.

Fragrant jasmine pairs wonderfully with sweet honey to create just the right flavor to capture the sweet, flowery essence that Edward smells in Bella’s blood.

Sweethearts are a shimmery, flower-shaped, royal purple, and can be found in the Love Triangle collection. Or, pick up a 12-pack of Sweethearts. They’d make a perfect gift for the Bella Swan fans you know.

Blood Suckers: Twilight-inspired Lollipops

We admit to being inspired by Twilight to make Blood Suckers. We had the perfect name, but it took months of experimentation to develop a flavor that would appeal to Edward’s romantic nature.

The apple symbolizes love and temptation; it requires a partner equal to its fundamental mystery and danger. Blood Suckers blend crisp apple with the cool, tingly-kiss of anise to create a flavor with just the right bite.

Blood Sucker lollipops are a dark, rich, mysterious, heart-shaped red, and can be found in the Love Triangle collection. Or, pick up a 12-pack of Blood Suckers, a perfect gift for the Edward Cullen fans you know. Go Team Edward!

Lickanthropes: Twilight-inspired Lollipops

Jacob’s cheerfulness, warmth, and emotional support often lift Bella’s spirits in New Moon. Despite his usually sunny demeanor he experiences occasional bitterness over Bella’s choices and his werewolf heritage.

The Lickanthrope pays tribute to both sides of his character with two warm and comforting, yet slightly bitter flavors of Jacob’s native Pacific Northwest – coffee and hazelnuts.

Lickanthropes are a round, earthy russet brown, and can be found in the Love Triangle collection. Or, pick up a 12-pack of Lickanthropes. They’d make a perfect gift for the Jacob Black fans you know. Go Team Jacob!
