Selections from Lovecraft’s brief tenure as a copywriter for a candy maker…
Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon’s true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Actually, I don’t think I came across any mention of this in S.T. Joshi’s I Am Providence. Possibly the stint as a candy copywriter is just rumour?
