May 26--No, I am not jacked up on sugar, but I am on adrenaline after my race through the Sweets Snacks Expo, the annual trade show at Chicago's McCormick Place. I'm just one of more than 16,000 people who will sample candy and snacks from 750 companies and 90 countries at the show that covers 4 acres of floor space and that ends Thursday.
Some of these treats are on shelves now; others will be coming soon. Want a peek into what might show up in your Halloween bag? Check out the photo gallery above for our top 10 show tastings, chosen mostly because they were the most delicious -- plus one that was too wacky to pass up.
