Welcome to the Candy Bowl

Welcome to the Candy Bowl blog. It is hoped that this blog will not be defined by a single candy bowl, but will become a place to talk about the candies in our lives. That said, I can only start with what I know.

Big changes are coming to the candy bowl. With the arrival of a host of new flavors, we will also welcome back an old friend -- uncertainty.

So here goes.
