At this point I have written 41 articles and have made approximately $15.00 since I started writing. I'm up to an estimated daily view of a little over 1,000 so you must be wondering if I like writing more than I like getting paid. Ever hear of starving artists and writers? Hello!

So, this article came up asking for the Top 5 Brands of Organic Candy. Research! Yay! You see I grew up in a family where if you didn't know something you were sent to look it up. We had a 1966 set of World Book Encyclopedias and the two big dictionaries that came with it. One dictionary had A-K and the other dictionary had L-Z. I know people who hate looking things up because the same thing happened in their family and now as adults they avoid looking things up. Not me, I embrace it. You know a, "that which won't kill you will make you stronger" kind of attitude. This is the kind of research I like. Food, Candy, Recipes, Holidays, Organic. Yesssss!

Once again any information I want is at my fingertips via the internet and a mouse. I really had no idea there is such a thing as organic candy. I mean sugar is a natural product; as is corn syrup. Both of them are sweeteners made from veggies and I innocently assumed that all candy is organic. 'Tis not so, little grasshopper.

Researching online the first website I come across is "Natural Candystore.com" which has all sorts of lovely items. They have everything from bags of mixed candies to organic marshmallows (and marshmallow cream) and even organic cotton candy. They have organic gummies, organic cake decorations and (in my opinion) not too outrageous prices. They also sell gluten free and allergy free candies.

"Yummyearth.com" states on their website that this company was started by two daddies. They sell lollipops, candy drops and organic gummy bears. They have a $20.00 minimum order and if you spend more than $25.00 shipping is free.

"Gleegum.com" says that their gum is "natural, eco-friendly chewing gum made with sustainable harvested rainforest chicle." It also states that they use rice syrup instead of corn syrup. It is vegetarian, additive free and one of items offered is a kit to make your own gum.

"Southwestcandy.com" has a large selection of candies and also offer kosher candy and chocolate. If you're looking for organic candy a very similar type would be kosher candy. They have wholesale and bulk candy at discount prices.

So, there ya have it. The research turned up quite a bit of information on what's available. Another thing I heard growing up was "better git while the gitten's good." In other words, order before there's nothing left to get!
