Steve Almond uses his freak-level attraction for all things candy to justify a tour of several candy factories around the U.S., and in the process gives a nice snapshot of the current state of the industry. Short version — it’s not looking good for the little guy. A quick read, and some nice nostalgic musings about some truly vintage candy bars. You can’t go wrong here.
