If you are easily charmed by the sight of a ribbon-bedecked momma rabbit gazing pridefully upon her brood of eight bunnies (also adorned in pastel-toned, sex-appropriate bowtastic neckware), then you too might be inclined to shell out $12.55 for See’s holiday-inspired box of chocolate what-nots and diddley-doos – officially called the Easter Assortment. This bodacious looking cardboard treasure trove is so cheerfully decorated, in fact, that it successfully tricks you into thinking that you are paying for the mother lode of all Easter candy collections.
Candy Review: See’s Easter Assortment
Categories: Candy,Candy Reviews,Chocolate Candy,Holiday Candy,Soft CandyCandy Review: CaffeMallows
Categories: Candy,Candy Reviews,Candy with Caffeine,Gourmet CandyI have said before that I’m a huge fan of coffee. I recently received some CaffeMallows for review… they are a mashup of gourmet marshmallows and a cup of coffee. The packaging boasts that they are a “pop-in power coffee shot.” Caffeine and marshmallows? What could possibly go wrong?
I sampled each of three flavors, Mocca Mallows, Java Mallows, and Coffee Mallows:
Mocca Mallows:
Packaging: Cello bag with label. Has a Stickybits barcode which you can use with the Stickybits App.
Looks like: A 2″ brownie square
Smells like: Rich, sweet coffee-cocoa smell
Feels like: Squishy, springy when I pinch it
Boasts: A Real Espresso & Cocoa Blast
But how does it taste?
Jelly Belly Wants You To Eat Your Peas and Carrots
Categories: Candy,Candy News,New Candy,Soft Candy,Weird CandyNext month, Jelly Belly will be launching a new Peas and Carrot mix designed to look like the ever (NOT) popular vegetable side dish. The candy peas and carrots will not be jellybeans but will be mellocremes in apple and orange sherbet flavors (which is MUCH better than candy that actually tastes like peas or carrots – blech!). Look for these on store shelves in February of 2011.
Candy Review: Allie’s Edibles Gourmet Crispy Rice
Categories: Candy,Candy Reviews,Gourmet CandyThese treats make me selfish. I shared them with my roommates because I wanted their opinions for the review, but make no mistake, I resented it.
I open one of the packages of Allie’s Edibles Gourmet Crispy Rice treats and I’m overcome with the sweet smell of nostalgia wafted to my nose. It’s surprising how many of my childhood memories involve delicious foods (rubs belly and whispers “memories”). Rice crispy treats were and still are one of my favorites. We even grew up calling them “Rice Crispy Candy”. Adventurous as always, my Mom had coined a new name for them. It was only later as an adult that I realized this was not their proper name – to my embarrassment.
