My mother’s unique cooking has given me a taste for life’s unusual foods. Today, I’d like to talk about some of the unique candies I’ve found over the years. Each candy makes me think of mother and fills my heart with warm memories. I’ve never actually tried any of these, but they sound terrific.
1. Hotlix Butterfly Flower Candy
This candy reminds me of mother’s candied moth bites. It also reminds me of my ex-girlfriend who thought she was a butterfly, but Candy (my fiance) doesn’t appreciate me being reminded of past girlfriends, so I won’t go too much into that.
From what I can tell, there are no actual butterflies in the candy, just a regular worm and flowers. Still, worms are filled with wormy goodness and these candies are far prettier than my mother’s chocolate worm cupcakes. Sorry, Mother. 😦
2. Accoutrements Chum Bucket Candy
Candy that tastes like fish guts? Count me in! The site says they taste disgusting, but I remember mother’s fish gut cakes and they were anything but disgusting.
Mother made us these cakes every birthday. The were just plain chocolate cake with a gooey fish gut center. Mother always told us that if we ate enough fish guts, we’d be able to read the thoughts of underwater creatures. I’m still trying to gain that ability.
3. Pit’r Pat Liver Flavored Cat Breath Fresheners
I know it says that these are for cats, but why should felines have all the fun? If mother ever stopped making her liver suckers, I’d snap these up in a heartbeat.
Liver suckers are like eating liver and onions, just without the onion. Mother loves giving them out as Christmas stocking stuffers.
This is a candy bar you can eat at breakfast with a side of eggs. Mother makes some mean steak tartar chocolate balls, but this is as close as you can get, at least until mother starts selling her creations.
My mother never made beer flavored candy, but I tried to once. All I ended up doing was nearly burning my house. You see, I’m not really good at cooking. Word to the wise –
Never use lighter fluid on your range top.

Hmmm…
Think your mom would let you post more of her recipes??
Of course she will. She loves it when I tell the world about her wonderful cuisine.
Do you plan to give these out for Halloween treats? Maybe you can give them out for cat treats if the kids don’t like them.
I’d like to, but it would hurt Mother’s feelings if I ever bought these candies instead of asking her to make me up a batch of her own concoctions.
