Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Are you sensing a pattern here? As in, my obsession with sweet, edible, funny things? Oh yes, it's bad. Don't believe me? I'm writing this as I sit next to a melted LP vinyl dish full of chocolate-filled Hello Kitty marshmallows. But that's not what I wanted to tell you about. My latest find comes courtesy of nostalgic candy shop Smeeks.
These La-Dee-Dahs salted caramels came in a charming box that instructed me, "Spoil Your Dinner." How could I argue? I ate all three of the soft little swirls in one short sitting, smiling back at the package. This is candy to stock up on.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
