The Professional loooooves her some good candy...! Her sugar intake has been the thorn in her dieting regimen for sure.
After years and years of taste-testing, The Professional enjoys a refined candy palette. Its because of this that she feels confident in making today's recommendation. You need to immediately go out and get some Hi-Chew candy. Like, right now. They're that addictive!
Hi-Chews are a Japanese candy that originated in 1931 as "edible chewlets." The current incarnation of the brand launched in Japan in 1975, and features six flavors. The Professional's favorite is strawberry :-)
The candy's flavors and textures are as close to her old-school favorite, Bonkers, as she can find. What the hell ever happened to Bonkers, and why did they go out of style? The Professional ate Bonkers with a passion as a child, and the smooth & chewy texture of Hi-Chew's remind her of them. Too bad one can't find Bonkers anymore. Bonkers were the shit!
The Professional buys her Hi-Chews at Famima!!, a Japanese convenience store with locations in and around Downtown Los Angeles.
Besides Hi-Chews, The Professional also loves Haribo (and only Haribo) Gummy Frogs, Gummy Colas and Gummy Twin Cherries, and dark chocolate of all kinds. What are your favorite candies?

Accidentally stumbled here. Not only are Hi Chew totally awesome, they have seasonal varieties over here in Japan. Like muskmellon or mango. Always a new and enjoyable taste sensation
