WHAT'S IN STORES TODAY
Crackling candy: Kids will go crazy over the latest invention from the Willy Wonka Candy Factory. The new XPLODER Bar from Wonka is a cream milk chocolate bar that looks like a regular candy bar — until you take a bite. The bar wakes up taste buds with a special popping candy that's mixed into the chocolate and remains active in your mouth even after you've eaten it. It's 50 cents at grocery and convenience stores and mass merchants.
