Idaho Spud Candy

It is a scary world when this is considered candy.

Apparently you can make appetizers, pie, or cake with these guys (and usually with microwaves, not so much ovens). Huh....

Part 2: Sifer's Valomilk: "The Original Flowing Center".

While driving to Louisiana for Marathon Rowing Championships this past weekend, we stopped in some tiny hick town in East Texas (population: 317) at a gas station & convenience store.

The four Texan rowers I was with had never seen this candy before either.
