Monster Memos by Ami Kealoha
Culinary renegade Homaro Cantu maybe refining the art of edible paper with his cheesecake and mojito flavored ink-jet creations at Chicago's Moto restaurant, but German confectioner Hoch Fun-Food is making it accessible to the cubicle-confined. Available in tutti-frutti, raspberry, and orange, the flavors may be more mundane than Cantu's, but each 12-pack of Monster Memos comes complete with a food coloring ink pen for jotting down information so sensitive you trust only your own teeth to shred.

Eight Salty, Sweet, Mouth-Puckering Licorices
by Karen McGrane Licorice seemed wrong and bad to me as a child, one of those things like coffee ice cream or kissing in movies that made me deeply suspicious of adult desires. As my tastes have matured so has my preference for licorice and I seek out only the darkest, chewiest, and most complex flavors. Used as a sweetener and a medicinal since ancient...

Sticky Personalized Candy
Sydney based Sticky are candy artisans and performers. They make all sorts of hard candies in their shop, while open for business, for all their customers to see first hand. Their attention to detail is pretty amazing; I can only assume the candy tastes great, too. The best thing is that they will accommodate custom orders-- specify colors, flavors, shapes, pictures and even text....

Papabubble
At the artisinal candy shop Papabubble in Manhattan (the first U.S. outpost following Barcelona, Amsterdam and Tokyo), mounds of colorful, flavor-packed "caramels" get whipped up daily. In this video we meet co-owner Fiona Ryan, watch her and another candymaker, Jelly, prepare a batch of the little treats and learn how Papabubble's quite unlike any other confectionery out there.

Chocolate-Pencils
Chocolate-Pencils is the product of a collaboration pairing Japanese architect and designer Oki Sato with patissier (and Iron Chef champion) Tsujiguchi Hironobu, the man behind Tokyo's boutique dessert shops Mont St. Claire and Le Chocolat de H.

Trois Crepes Dark Chocolate Perles
Pearl-shaped and tiny, the Manhattan patisserie Trois Crepes' Dark Chocolate Pearls contain something like a buttery Rice Krispy in a coverture of bittersweet chocolate. A pleasing crunch and slight saltiness makes for a surprising experience, but the chocolate balances both the flavor and texture. The Perles are delicious sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt, but we also like pouring them directly into our mouth....

Papabubble
We recently came across the Papabubble range of sweetened goodies and who would've thought that lollies—and hard ones at that—could be made to look so creative. And delicious. It's the twists on conventional lolly types that make the Barcelona-based company so worth checking out. We spoke to founder Tommy Tang about the rise of Papabubble from Australian upstarts to international favorites, "Crick, my delicious...
