It’s Day 17 of the 31 Days of Candy! This sweet little Rock Candy is our candy of the day, and it’s one of my favorite candies from our event so far. I don’t think I’ve ever had actual rock candy, the sticks of crystalized sugar that looks like a stick of gemstones. They’ve always looked so pretty to me, but for some reason I’ve never actually eaten one. It’s probably because it was made somewhere with peanuts, since that seems to be the case with most candies for me. However, I might need to try one now because this...
31 Days of Candy Day 16: Finnish Fishie Free Crochet Pattern
We’re past the halfway marker for the 31 Days of Candy! Today is Day 16, and it’s all about my Nordic Fish crochet candy pattern. This candy is inspired by the strange fish themed gummy candy known as Swedish Fish. In my experience I’ve found that you either love them or hate them. I go back and forth a lot on whether I like them or not. Sometimes when I have them I’m totally addicted and will eat a ton. The there are other times where the idea of them does not sound good at all. I’ve never been able...
31 Days of Candy Day 15: Butterscotch Free Crochet Pattern
Can you believe it?? We’re halfway through the 31 Days of Candy! This month is just flying by as we go through this month of candy. I’m also less than two weeks away from my wedding, and can’t believe that it is already here! Thank goodness for my wedding coordinator, Kellie, because without her I wouldn’t be able to do this crochet event this month. Today’s candy is a Butterscotch, which is such an oh so delicious candy that I love! I love the buttery, sweet, and caramel like flavors of this type of yummy candy. If something is...
31 Days of Candy Day 14: Peach Ring Free Crochet Candy Pattern
Welcome to day 14 of the 31 Days of Candy! We’re almost halfway through this month already, which means we have 17 patterns left to go. Are you ready for today’s candy? It’s a Peach Ring, inspired by one of my sister’s favorite candies, Peachos. Though this candy sure looks pretty with the lovely orange, red, and yellow tones, I’ve never been able to understand the appeal of the flavor. I’d take a real peach over a peach candy any day. Growing up both sets of my grandparents lived in the California Central Valley, which is the heart of...

31 Days of Candy Day 13: Watermelon Sour Candy Free Crochet Pattern
It’s Day 13 of the 31 Days of candy already! Time has flown by so quickly with this event. Today’s candy is inspired by one of my all time favorite candies: watermelon sour gummies! For a long time I avoided all things watermelon, because for some reason I’ve just never been able to like the taste of actual watermelon. I always felt it tasted like water, and never have liked the strange texture. No matter how many times people would have me try to eat a “great” watermelon that was supposed to be sweet, I never liked it....
31 Days of Candy Day 12: Peanut Butter Cup Free Crochet Pattern
Today is all about every chocolate and peanut butter lovers favorite candy, and for me its the most dangerous candy of them all: a peanut butter cup. Dun dun dun! Being deathly allergic to peanuts, the closest I’m ever able to come to peanuts is making them out of yarn. My secret 6th sense is that I’m able to tell when there are peanuts in a room and if someone is eating them. So with that sense, I’ve seen people eat Reeses peanut butter cups. However, because of my allergy I’ve only heard of the delicious combination of chocolate and...
31 Days of Candy Day 11: Mini Pumpkin Free Crochet Pattern
Pumpkins have to be one of my favorite parts of fall. I love the delicious pumpkin flavor sprinkled in everything in fall, and how pumpkins are the decoration being used wherever you go. I hardcore jump on the pumpkin train when fall comes around, and wish it would stay all year long. Because of that, The 31 Days of Candy wouldn’t be complete without a pumpkin, and today it’s mini pumpkin time! I know I say this almost every time I make a new candy, but this has to be one of my favorites I’ve made. It’s so tiny and...
