Candy Review #1: Milky Way Simply Caramel

Mmmm... candy...

My first food related post! Boys and girls, what we have here is an interesting new candy bar that crossed my path when I was out grocery shopping. As the name suggests, it's a Milky Way bar filled with caramel. Now, a Milky Way isn't the most complex candy there is. Chocolate, nougat, caramel and there you have it. This variation ditches the nougat to focus on what the wrapper claims is "rich delicious caramel."

The backend stuff is all done, my theme modifications are up and not hideous, and I'm working on my first set of reviews now. It's been a long, tasty road, but we've finally arrived.
