So, imagine my excitement to hear of the FREE "Poppin' Time Snacker Tasting" this Saturday, October 23, from 1 - 4 pm at The Sugar Cube - one of OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA's sweetest sensations. Close your eyes and imagine this: Popcorn and mini-pretzels coated in peanut brittle and drizzled with chocolate. Let me repeat that. Slowly. Popcorn and mini-pretzels coated in peanut brittle and drizzled with choclolate. Ooooohhhh....who THINKS of these things? Rhetorical question because we all know the answer is The Sugar Cube! Know something ELSE they thought of - Signature Candy Buffets for your special event or party. From every Jelly Belly known to mankind to artisan truffles to classic chocolates (including an impressive sugar-free selection of chocolates and candies), The Sugar Cube has something for everyone - including a fine assortment of nostalgic treats: Nik'l Nips, Candy Cigarettes, Pop Rocks and Necco Wafers...along with Moon Pies (try popping one in the microwave for a few seconds...yummy!), Salted Nut Rolls and Big Cherry. It's a veritiable dreamland for sophisticated candy lovers - a confectionary that focuses on quality product, independent producers, original flavors and beautiful presentation. Oh, and I have not even mentioned their scrumptious handmade Caramel Apples... So, one of these fine fall days when you find yourself wandering the streets of OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, stop in at The Sugar Cube and treat yourself.
I have a sweet tooth. In fact, sugar ranks as my favorite condiment and caramel is my favorite food group. Sprinkle that caramel with a little sea salt and I'm in Nirvana.
Located at 210 N Lee Street in OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, The Sugar Cube hosts a weekly sampling session every Saturday from 1-4pm.

Was it as wonderful as you made it sound? It must have been. I will have to give Carmel and salt a try, thanks for the sweet and salty idea.

You lost me when you started sprinkling sea salt on your caramel. That just sounds horrible! J
