NEW MEXICO -- The owner of a New Mexico candy store is selling a product she calls "meth candy."

Debbie Hall says the blue-colored snack is playing off the popularity of the hit TV show "Breaking Bad."

The candy is really just sugar blocks, but it bears a close resemblance to the drug that's the center of chaos based on the TV drama.

In fact, Hall says her candy has been used as a prop, and she's received no complaints from customers.

"Everybody loves it. Everybody has fun with it. It isn't 'Oh, its crystal meth! You're bad.' It's 'oh, you're selling Breaking Bad candy," says Hall.

Hall drew fire 30 years ago after her "X-rated candy" sparked a protest from an evangelical church.
