GOOD TASTES.CANDY GALORE: We love the See's Candy coffee mug painted with lots of different pieces of See's Candies See's Candies is a manufacturer and distributor of high quality candy, particularly chocolate, in the western United States. It was founded by Charles See and his mother Mary See in Los Angeles, California in 1921. The company is now headquartered in South San Francisco, California. that we spotted recently on a co-worker's desk and couldn't wait to get one. The candies look good enough to eat right off the mug - but since it's designed for coffee, you don't have to be tempted nor expend any calories. The fun mug is available for $3.50 at See's stores, but you'll have to buy some candy (just a minimal amount) to eat or fill it. It would make a great spring gift for chocophiles on your list. Now's the time to think about ordering or buying See's Easter candies. In addition to the array of different novelty and hand-decorated eggs, medium and large Easter baskets, chocolate bunnies and chick boxes, new to the collection this year is a yellow Easter tin (with a basket motif on top) filled with assorted chocolate ($15.50). If you don't feel like stopping by the stores, order by calling (800) 347-7337 or online at www.sees.com. - Natalie Haughton CONTEST ALERT: These recipe contests all have deadlines this month, so get cookin.'
