Steve Almond is the author of twelve books of fiction and nonfiction, including the New York Times bestsellers Candyfreak and Against Football. Through his personal experiences and witty humor, he produces an entertaining, informative book on candy and not to mention, himself.

He visits multiple candy factories getting loads of free candy, hangs out with a “chocolate engineer," and talks to the last man with Blackjack bubblegum, a guy who buys candy that’s out of stock and resells it to the desperate suffering from candy withdrawals. ![]() The further you read in the book, the more envious of Almond you get.
