Our Favorite Pregnant Lady has recently turned back into a regular lady by successfully giving birth to a real live baby!
Her name is Sadie and she's awesome. She arrived May 23rd at 3:06am, weighing in at 7 pounds exactly, and measuring nineteen and one-half lean and ready inches long. According to first-hand reports, young Sadie began breastfeeding immediately, has black hair and "Ted's big lips."
So, congrats to Ann & Teddy from all the crew at Crispy Cat Candy Bars!!!

And Congrats to Our Contest Winners!
While none of our contest entrants guessed that young Sadie would weigh an even 7 pounds, two of our most psychic Candy Fans guessed the correct date of her birth, and four incredible prognosticators guessed her correct length!
So, (quickly doing some advanced math here) that means SIX lucky winners will get an ENTIRE CASE of Crispy Cat Candy Bars!!!
Because Fun is Fun !!!
And we had so much fun doing our last contest, that we've decided to run another one!!!
While the stakes may never get any higher than Ann giving birth, we've upped the ante a bit, and the winnings are better than ever!
Here's the scoop:
The Candy Fan who sends us photographic evidence of the best/most creative use of Cripsy Cat Candy Bars in a vegan dessert will win a mixed case of our delicious Organic Candy Bars and one of our awesome chocolate brown T-shirts!
Plus, we'll throw in some Crispy Cat bumper stickers, and other cool stuff we might have laying around the office... a "schwag bag" if you will.
Just like the celebs get!!!

Let's Go (back) To The Hop!
From the "Everything Old is New Again" Department:
Way back in the dizz-ay, Joel used to hand-dip every single Candy Bar, and conceive of all his whacky flavor combos late at night in the kitchen of The Hop.

For those of you who are not local to Asheville, NC, The Hop is a famously awesome & beloved drive-thru ice cream parlor, featuring homemade treats, and friendly service!
Well, many long years later, The Hop has relocated and is about to change ownership, and Crispy Cat Candy Bars have blown-up nationwide. And while things change, they remain ever the same, as we still have an unbreakable connection to our old friends at The Hop!
Check out their new location, look for our awesome new shipper-diplay, buy a bar or two, and ask the friendly folks behind the counter to mix 'em into your favorite ice cream flavor!
YUM!!!

(just like we always knew she would)
Inspired by author Kathy Freston's new book "Quantum Wellness," Oprah Winfrey has decided to go vegan for 21 days.
She's blogging about the experience every day, and including meal plans and recipes on her website.
| (right) Mega media mogul Oprah Winfrey is goin' vegan! |

Here at Crispy Cat Candy Bars, we applaud Oprah for giving veganism a try, and if she needs any extra incentive, Joel says:
"If she sticks with it for 21 whole days, I will watch one whole episode of OPRAH!"

We've been invited on the bus!
Well, our candy bars have anyways. It's seems that 70's soft-rock super-star James Taylor has specially requested that Crispy Cat Candy Bars be included in the snacks and sundries on his Band of Legends tour bus! We sincerely hope that he goes to Carolina in his mind with every delicious bite of our organic treats!

Crispy Cat Vegan Candy Bars: An Environmentally and Health Conscious Candy Bar
from Associated Content
