This Christmas Light Bulb Candy Won't Blow Your Fuse

— December 12, 2011 — Special
Perhaps the first image that comes to mind when thinking about the holidays is of strings of brightly colored lights dressing trees, houses and storefronts, and that's why the Christmas light bulb candy from Stupid.com makes for a radiant stocking stuffer. Modeled after the old-school lights that came before anyone had ever even heard of LEDs, their classic, vintage design is sure to light up the faces of anyone who is lucky enough to receive one this year.

The chocolate-covered sunflower seeds come in five different colors of candy coating: Blue, red, green, orange and pink, just like the original Christmas lights did, and sell for only $4.95 a piece. So spark up some fun when untangling that corded mess of lights this year by eating some light bulb candy in the process.
