Brittles, Truffles and Assorted Candies

Crunchy, chewy, or melt-in-your-mouth confections

The texture of our food provides part of the experience of eating. Flavor is important, of course, but no more so than the crunch of peanuts or the velvety smoothness of buttercream against the tongue. Mmmmmmmm! There have been personality quizzes purporting to describe people by analyzing their food preferences. Some claim that those who prefer crunchy foods are more assertive and vigorous, while those who love creamy smooth things are more sensual. But what if you absolutely love both? Does that mean you have a split personality—or just that you love dessert?
