My Kinda Candy

Have you tried salmon candy? How about the salmon candy at Water Dog in Ventnor, NJ? If your answer is yeah then you know. If not, don’t fret! You can make the drive down the shore, order online or, make it yourself which is exactly what I plan to do now that Jacob & I are addicted!

Here’s how…thanks barbecue bible for the recipe!
