Candy eating can be a bit depressing this time of year. Halloween is over, and the only thing left in the bottom of your kids’ plastic pumpkins are butterscotch Dum Dum suckers and peppermint Star Brites. To make matters worse, the winter holidays are still far enough away that it requires real work to find chocolate Santas and marshmallow snowmen to munch on. And eating candy should never be work.
What’s a person to do? It’s time to troll the local candy shops and specialty supermarkets for something other than the usual candy suspects you find in every gas station in the country. This searching led me to something quite amazing, Anastasia’s Confections Coconut Patties, an oddbird candy treat that features coconut, of course, dipped in rich chocolate. Being a fan of both Almond Joy and Mounds bars, I decided to give the Coconut Patties a try.
Well, Mounds – and Almond Joy, too – eat your heart out. These Coconut Patties have left you in their dust. Coconut Patties are that most pleasant of candy surprises: A treat that tastes far better than it looks.
