The ultimate guide to candy around the world

View this email in your browser Hi readers, While people eat candy throughout the year, there are few better times than now to snack on chocolate, gummies, suckers, and everything sugary. Matador's food and drink section dedicated much of October to explaining how people around the globe get their sweet fix. The result is our ultimate guide to candy around the world. Here, you'll find explainers on the difference between popular chocolate styles, bucket list destinations for candy lovers in Europe, and a psychologist-backed look at the American obsession with candy corn. There's a deep dive on salty black licorice, a profile of one of the last great American candy stores, and a look at the environmental impact of palm oil used in candy production. And that's just the start. (Though, if you want a break from the sugar rush, do check out our Halloween guide, where you'll find stories about the first Halloween celebrations in the US, how to celebrate Samhain, and more.) We'll continue to bring you stories about sweets in the future, but take this moment to stop, relax, and have a bite of candy before you have to give it all away when the trick-or-treating begins tomorrow.
