Nablopomo – Favorite candy – Chocolate

Chocolate pecan and pretzel turtles that really look like turtles

Adorable, no? As if candy turtles could get any better beyond their pecan caramely chocolatey goodness, then somebody had to go and add turtle heads.

That somebody was Robin Sue from Big Red Kitchen, and if you read her About Me section, you can get a great sense of how funny and awesome she is in both the kitchen and her blog writing. Here is where I tried to sum up the variety of recipes and stories she posts in a single line and well, it just wasn’t happening because there’s too much to say….so just go look. :P

Check out the article here for the full, somewhat graphic, not safe for work or kids, description of why Paula took top spot.

“Just imagining the slippery, sloppy butter….. hungry for a bacon-wrapped, beer batter-fried stick of butter ….”

Okay Maxim, time to turn off the Food Network and walk away…
