This, for me, would be a fun thing to eat. I love to play with my food and candy, frequently eating both in what some others might consider childlike ways for a 50-year old. I don’t care, I have fun and I’m always about the Fun Factor in life!

I readily admit, also, to eating frosting straight outta the can (c’mon, y’all, you know you do it, too!), so this doesn’t appear to be a problem aspect of the Strawberry Chocolate Dip Pop to me. Not being a fan of sour apple candy anyway, I might pass on the lollipop part of the Caramel Apple Dip Pop, but definitely would pull my strawberry pop through the caramel dip since I do love to experiment with food/flavor/texture combinations!

I’m goin’ for these when I find ‘em and may just have to write the company to offer up some other suggestions, like: Peach Melba, a peach lolly dipped into raspberry sauce; Dulce de Leche, a caramel lolly dipped into caramel (there’s no such thing as too much caramel for me); and the Deluxe Chocolate Fondue: four distinctly-shaped lollipops in marshmallow, banana, pound cake and REAL apple (not the sour green deal). That last one would cost more, of course, and be marketed to be shared at the lunch table, whether you’re 10, 50 or whatever age!

wait a minute, I object. Did he really sing that? Because in the book, that’s just how he talked. Are you referring to the HORRIBLE EVIL ANIMATED VERSION of charlotte’s web?

To be fair, I’ve only seen the sequel. But the fact that there was a sequel with three of charlotte’s “daughters” – one a redhead, one a blonde, and one a brunette, even though they were spiders, apparently wearing wigs for our viewing pleasure – does not recommend any of the movies to me. :)

These were launched at the most recent All Candy Expo, but I’m not sure if they are in stores yet. I will keep an eye out for you guys and let you know if I spot them anywhere. :)

I think I might pick those up. They look to be what you would expect off the shelf. Now if I went to Godiva I would expect a richer chocolate and maybe a better consistency. I can’t wait to try these!

Thanks for a great and informative review.

Where can you buy these at? I like fundip type of candy, so it would be interesting to try these, too.

Wow…I don’t know why, but these look really good to me. I love frosting, E.L. Fudge Cookies, and Dunkaroos so the strawberry and chocolate ones seem right up my alley. The caramel apple ones look pretty good too. They remind me of the caramel apple lolli-pops that come out in the fall every year. I’ll have to try those if I can find them somewhere.
