Candy Is Dandy: The Candy Review Podcast

by Candy Podcast

The world's only candy review podcast. Like Doughboys, but for candy. Every first and third Wednesday of the month we pick a different candy, give you its history and then taste and review everything from Airheads to Zagnut. We encourage you to eat along with us. Hosted by Greg Gonzalez, Beto Sistos and Daniel Zafran. Are we the best food podcast? Tune in and find out.
