If HPL wrote ads for Whitman's chocolates, that is:
What black arts could have stripped this chocolate of its natural hue? The horror of the unearthly, corpselike pallor of this truffle's complexion is only offset by its fiendish deliciousness.
Nut Cluster Crunch
This eerie candy will test the sanity of all but those who possess the strongest of constitutions. Strange congeries of almonds, walnuts, and pistachios dance hypnotically within, promising to reveal their eldritch secrets to anyone foolish enough to take a bite of these ancient nut clusters!
And so on.

I read that post to M. She got hungry.

Gummy Bears
Like an army of shrunken, melted warriors from a plane where all life has been reduced one-thousand fold, these horrifically hued, ursine casualties seem harmless in their repose. But, upon crushing handfuls in your gaping maw, you will find that they punish the nerves beneath your teeth, sluicing gums and jaws with a cataract of overly-sweet slime.

I'm with M. on this, Steve. Especially the white chocolate.
Fabulous, Andy!
