Sweet Eighteen
by Robert E. Nelson
A company located in Sweet Home, Oregon, has begun making candies. The outfit, known as Huey's Gooey Chewies, makes six types of chocolate-covered nuts (peanut, pecan, cashew, hazelnut, walnut, and almond), six types of chocolate-covered creams (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mocha, marshmallow, and maple), and six types of chocolate-covered jellies (strawberry, lemon, orange, mint, apple, and raspberry). An advertising poster has been made, showing one of each type of Huey's Gooey Chewies in a circular arragement of six sections. Within each section is a group comprising one nut, one cream, and one jelly.
From the clues below, can you locate all 18 candies, group by group, going around the circle?
