Are there any specific foods high in dextrose? For example would a candy bar be a good dextrose source after a workout?

Smarties may be what you are looking for.

I think so. I remember reading about several guys running ultimate diet 2.0 that used smarties as a part of their cho loading period for just that reason.
I think the heart packs you speak of are pure dext. but check label to be sure.
Smarties = those crappy tasting, overly sweet pieces of candy that you always were diappointed to see in the halloween basket. Sounds like dextrose to me.Our kind has never been seen before.

the conversation hearts made by necco are sugar and corn syrup i'm pretty sure. As far as foods with high concentration of dextrose, from what i have see, smarties, pixie stix (that might be malto, i forget), sweet tarts, shock tarts, their is some candy i forget the name of, they are sour and you suck on them, they are little spheres with a tiny ring around it haha, sorry for that description. Powerade powder has dextrose as the first ingredient as well, but you might as well go to www.****************** and just buy it from there, it'll save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

3 sugars.
Dextrose (also known as Glucose) is key in giving your muscles energy and the rebuilding process after training.
Sucrose (table sugar, crap that's in most drinks and sweets) does nothing but add to belly fat.
Fructose. (Fruits sugar). Mainly in fruits, some drinks, plant nectar(Agave nectar)
Some fruits and foods contain both Dextrose and fructose. (Apricots, plums)
Dextrose is best included in a post workout stack or if your planning on cycling or need a boost of energy.

Correction, sucrose is composed of 45%fructose (aka levulose) and 55% dextrose (aka glucose) and it adds to all fat, no fat gets added differently than any other. The body is predisposed via hormones/genes to distribute fat. (I should hope no one on here really believes in "toning" or "spot training". They don't exist.)
Also Fructose isn't bad as long as it's taken in a smaller amount and immediately before or after a workout, the muscles readily convert fructose to glucose (aka dextrose) but ONLY after/during intense exercise. Also many tissues such as the muscles and the brain can only USE glucose, meaning fructose is ignored as sugar. (btw the brain can do nothing with fructosed.)
Also anytime you see something containing maltose, that means it contains glucose. Maltose is a disaccharide of 2 glucose molecules so you can consider maltose= glucose. Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose.
The problem with Sucrose is that it contains high amounts of fructose (45 fru/55 glc) (which btw is nearly the same as high fructose corn syrup (50/50)) . Fructose is ONLY converted to glucose by the muscles during exercise, otherwise it is converted directly to fat by the liver because it skips steps in glycolysis.
IN THE END if you eat the sugar (maltose sucrose fructose or any listed above) just eat it right around your workout like immediately. Because even any left over glucose is readily converted to fat by the liver. Starchy carbs are also just glucose in disguise, but must be digested before use. Otherwise stick to complex carbs and fiber for your carb sources.
I'm a bio major/ premed and am currently in an advanced biochemistry course. So this isn't just broknowledge.

Dextrose
Dextrose has a score of 100, sucrose 65, lactose 46 and fructose 20. Common desserts such as ice cream, apple pie, brownies, and cookies are all good sources of dextrose.
