Candy order was right and arrived on time. Thanks. I appreciate that.
Although candy was fresh upon delivery I was disappointed that it came in an unsealed bag.

A Review of Hannah's Favorite M&M's Chocolate Candies Flavors!
As a candy lover, there should be no doubt that I have my own opinions about candy, and over the past year and a half, I have fallen in love with reviewing candies and offering my perspective. I realize that many other people have different opinions than me. My favorite candy is Reese's, and I will always go for chocolate. However, I understand that many people do not share this same opinion. I have always loved M&M's too, which made me want to create this ranking of some of their current flavors on the market. If I ranked these flavors...
If you are LUCKY, you will buy these CHARMING Marshmallow Candies.
This week we are thinking differently and outside the box, no pun intended Everyone loves a good bowl of cereal, and let’s not lie here, when you crave a bowl of cereal, it isn’t the cardboard squares or flavorless flakes. No. You want a big bowl of sugary, crunchy cereal with ice-cold milk. Now personally, I’m a massive fan of the cereals with the little colorful marshmallows. But when I eat this cereal, I always wish that I could just have the marshmallows to switch things up. You may be thinking, just pick them out. Well, I’ll be honest, that...
This week's favorite candy is..... LICORICE LACES!
There are many iconic questions that most people will come by in life. What’s your favorite color? Sparkling or still? Does pineapple belong on pizza? But the one I’m thinking of is, around the loop or bunny ears? If you are wondering what the question refers to, then I may be thinking that you live under a rock or have never seen the shoelace episode of Spongebob, but I don’t want to be rude. When it comes to tying your shoelaces there are two ways to go, either around the big loop and pull, or two bunny ear loops tied...

You eat one of these and it will really get you in the fall...
Laffy Taffy and Snickers: Something Funny Going on Here
I have always said that laughter is the key to anyone’s heart, but is it the key to their stomachs as well? The Willy Wonka Candy Company and Mars Incorporated may have something to say when it comes to that topic. With the creations of Laffy Taffy and Snickers bars, their candies are sure to keep their consumers happy. Although the two candies are completely different, they both offer unique twists on classic candies. So let’s dig in to some flavorful facts. Taffy or Toffee, depending on where you live, was first brought into light in 1817 when the word...
Mentos: The fresh (and fruity) maker
Allow me to go ahead and answer your first question: What is the difference between Mentos Rainbow and Mentos Fruit? The newer product, Mentos Rainbow, features seven flavors, five of which are distinct from the original fruit flavors: pineapple, raspberry, apple, watermelon, grape and the old school orange and strawberry. Mentos fruit keeps it simple with the trio of flavors: strawberry, orange and lemon. Either way, you’ll find 14 pieces of fruity chew balls in each package. My favorite Mentos flavor has always been the pink strawberry. I used to buy rolls of Mentos, pick out all of the pink...
Hear them Shqueep: Peeps Minis: Chocolate Crème
Peeps Minis Chocolate Creme These peeps are of an unfamiliar sort. All cramped up inside the bag, 24 to a room, it’s the factory farming of peeps. They took them out of their bag free, free-range boxes and stuck them into a bag. After yesterday’s “Peepa” march against bagged peeps, I decided to get a bag to see what the disturbance was about. I rip off the seal and unzip the dark cave where the peeps reside. My hand reaches down and the bag crinkles. It’s warm and soft, I just grab something because I’m not sure where each one...
The Caffex Mallows Family is Creating a Buzz
The Mallows Family is Creating a Buzz Sharability: 4 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 9 Overall: 7 Coffee, Mocca, and Java make a marvelous mallow trio. These squares may look like brownies, but don’t let looks fool you that easily, these are cubes of gooey coffee flavored marshmallows. Substitute your morning coffee with morning candy with the same amount of caffeine, and choose between three mallow flavors; the Java which is energized with a double shot of espresso, coffee which is a double coffee boost and the mocca which is a real espresso and cocoa blast! The mocca is...
Don’t Forget About Cadbury Caramel Eggs
Cadbury Caramel Eggs are a yummy addition to the Cadbury candy lineup... Sharability: 2 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 8 Overall: 10 The other breed of Cadbury’s Eggs; the egg filled with caramel. Caramel, thick yet stringy; smooth yet sticky; like all things in life, the caramel inside of this milk chocolate coating is paradoxical. It is almost as stringy as the caramel inside of a Caramelo, but is much gloopier and thus leaves teeth prints when you bite into it. For those of you who prefer the less intensely sweet taste, Cadbury’s Caramel Egg will probably be more...
Zotz Shocks Lots
Zotz Candy are a retro favorite and their sour, fizzy center is sure to surprise and delight! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 9 Overall: 10 I had never heard of this Zotz candy before so I was a bit wary at first glance. The package looks quite generic, each individually wrapped piece of hard candy simply says “Zotz Grape” or lemon, cherry, apple, watermelon or orange. Upon looking it through the technological wizardry of the boundless internet I was surprised to find out that these Zotz weren’t the new school candy I expected, I was about to...
Chill Out with Angel Mints
Chill Out With Angel Mints Sharability: 2 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 10 Overall: 10 These Angel Mints really do seem to come from heaven. Not only does the smooth peppermint taste complement the airy melt in your mouth consistency of this chalky cylinder, but it has also been categorized as providing palliative therapy. Palliative therapy is not a way to provide a cure for any diseases or disorders, but instead is used to enhance the quality of life and to provide comfort to patients. Other forms of palliative therapy are humor, massages, aromatherapy, and anything that helps to...
B-O-N-O-M-O, O-O-O-Bonomo(BAHN-uh-moh) [not so] Turkish Taffy
A vintage Bonomo's Turkish Taffy Wrapper Sharability: 7 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 10 Overall: 10 Once upon a time in the land of Turkey lived a man named Albert J. Bonomo. Al emigrated to Coney Island, New York and founded the Bonomo candy company in 1897. This candy company made hard candies, but specialized in its saltwater taffy. As delicious as Al’s saltwater taffies must have been, it was not Al, but the son of Al who introduced the masterpiece of the Turkish Taffy that we have all known and loved since we learned to say the word...
The Cool Kidz jam to Fruit Jelly Beans
The Cool Kidz Jam to Jelly Beans Hey Guys! This week we reviewed Jelly Beans Fruit. These were bright and intriguing and consisted of colors such as red, yellow, purple, and white. They are definitely addicting, especially if you sit down with a bag of them and watch a movie. Jelly Beans Fruit are definitely recommended, and great to have in bowls around the house to snack on. What do you guys think? “My love is strong now, you’ve really got a hold on me” – The Beatles; You really got a hold on me Peace & Love, The Cool...
The Cool Kidz like Licorice in all shapes and sizes...
The Cool Kidz share their opinions about different type of red licorice including licorice straws and licorice laces This week we tried red twists and red laces. These are both delicious licorice candies. The red licorice twists, often packaged as Twizlers, are very easy to be found and come in a variety of sizes. They are classics, and very addictive. In our opinion, they are best used as straws: if the top and bottom ends are bitten off the twist can be put into any drink you desire. Overall, these red chewy candies are satisfying. On the other hand, red...
Peeps: Milk Chocolate Covered Marshmallow, Not to Be Confused With Chocolate Covered Peeps
Chocolate Covered Peeps are available in Dark or Milk Chocolate and add a new twist to an old classic... Sharability: 1 Denture Danger: 5 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 8 Overall: 9 This is quite an interesting new twist on the classic Easter candy, Peeps. This individually wrapped peep is crunchy, this peep is gooey, this peep is a taste treat. Maybe it is just because of the contrasting crunchy chocolate, but the marshmallow inside the milk chocolate casing seems gooyer than that of a normal peep making it taste like a coconutless mallowcup. Ehem, allow me clarify, this is not a...
Valentine’s Day Chocolate: Switch it Up with Reese’s Cups, Hershey’s Hearts, and Nonpareils
Reese's Peanut Butter Hearts are a perfect gift for a loved one and the combination of Milk Choclate and Peanut Butter really can't be beat! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 6 Overall: 8 Valentine’s Day Mini Reese’s are adorned in gold and red foils, waiting to be undressed and enjoyed by the peanutbutter-chocolate lover. I offered a bag of chocolates to my friends and all of them reached for the Reese’s cups saying “When you see chocolates always go straight for the one shaped as a Reese’s cup.” Nonpareils are by definition the little color sugar balls...
Conversation Hearts from Brach’s, from NECCO and from the Enlarging Machine
Whether you prefer Brachs or Necco, one thing that everyone can agree upon is that Valentine's day wouldn't be the same without Conversation Hearts Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 2-7 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 10 Overall: 5 The classic Valentines Day candy… these candy hearts are so popular that both The New England Confectionary Company (NECCO) and Brach’s manufacture them, and now they are even made in an enlarged size. The candies themselves are definitely more of a novelty item than a tasty candy. In fact, eating too many can induce side effects of nausea. Even though Brach’s and NECCO both make...
Wax Sticks Aren’t Among the Best Picks
Wax Syrup Sticks are a true retro classic....and can be a bit messy too! Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 5 Convenience: 7 Novelty: 9 Overall: 6 This wax vial filled with a sugary liquid has an oddly popular appeal to little kids (at least they did to me when I was little). After all these years, when I attempted to transfer the liquid from the vile to my mouth, I had a small deal of trouble. I bit off the top and tried to drink it out like it was a straw, that didn’t work. I tried to pour it into...
Brachs Cherry Cordials Do Not Fail to Impress and they give Brachs Villa Cherries a run for their money
If you loved Brach's Villa Cherries, discontinued in 2003, you will love their new replacment! Sharability: 6 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 4 Novelty: 5 Overall: 8 I have to admit I’m usually not a fan of fruit inside my chocolates. And when I say I’m not a fan, every time I bite into a chocolate with fruit flavored filling, it usually ends up in a gross, slobbery mess inside of a napkin. I tentatively took my first bite of the cherry cordial expecting the same sickly sweet fruity flavor of most fruit fillings, but I was quite pleasantly surprised. Within...
Bean Boozled and Bean Disguzzled
Jelly Belly Bean Boozled Jelly Beans are for the truly daring... Sharability: 10 Eatability: 2 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 9 Overall: 7 “You want to be careful with those,” Ron warned Harry. When they say every flavor they mean every flavor – you know, you have [buttered popcorn, and licorice and peach] but then you can get [vomit, pencil shavings, and ear wax] George even reckons he had a booger-flavored one once.”* And George reckoned right, you may think you are biting into the green juicy pear jelly bean but don’t be too surprised when you the booger...
Beware of the Aliens in the Mystery Satellite Wafers
Satellite Wafers Candy have been enjoyed by candy lovers for over fifty years! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 0 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 9 Overall: 7 Also known as UFO candy, this candy is back from the 50s. These wafers remind me of what the priest puts on everyone’s tongue at communion. These paperlike bubbles come in blue, orange, white and pink and are filled with multicolored beadlike sugar candy balls. As soon as you drop the UFO into your mouth you taste the plain styrophoam like disc immediately begin to dissolve. As soon is the seal is broken the alien inhabitants...

McCraws Taffy is back!
McCraws Giant Taffy Sticks are back! Mc Craws Taffy disappeared from the shelves of candy stores about two (2) years ago without explanation. The phone number for the original manufacturer was disconnected and rumors circulated as to whether this classic taffy would ever be available again. A few months ago, it was announced that the original owners were back in business and candy lovers rejoiced! Why the fuss you ask? Mc Craw’s Old Fashioned Taffy Sticks have been a cult item ever since their accidental discovery in 1900. They are colorful, great tasting and oh so retro. Originally, the company...
Now or Later? That is the Question.
Now & Laters Candy Sharability: 9 Denture danger: 9 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 7 Overall: 9 Now and Laters are quite the classic candy. Their old slogan, “Eat some now, Save some for Later” was replaced by the popular and true slogan, “Hard ‘N Fruity now and Soft ‘N Chewy Later”. This slogan describes the candy’s cycle that represents the main difference between the Now and Later and the Laffy Taffy. Compared to the Laffy Taffy, the “Soft’ N Chewy” Now and Later has a slightly denser consistency than the Laffy Taffy which has a greater 'denture danger' is softer and...
Altoids make a break from their illustrious past
On CandyFavorites, our description for Altoids reads: "Altoids are one of the oldest breath mints and are still made from the same formula that dates back to the reign of England's King George". Unfortunately this is no long true as the formula was changed in April this year when they substituted 'corn syrup' with 'glucose syrup' and 'artificial flavor'...and as a result they don't taste quite the same, at least to us seasoned Altoids customers. I'm sure they have their reasons for making this change, just as Coca-Cola did at the end of the 1980's when they took the original...
Cadbury Creme Eggs Love
I knew there was a reason I loved March and April. It's not the promise of spring, or the knowledge that my classes are almost over. It's Cadbury Creme Eggs. I absolutely love them. During the months they are available everywhere I make sure to have at least two boxes in the house at all times. Now there are a lot of different Cadbury eggs. They have caramel and chocolate filled. But I love the original creme. Milk chocolate on the outside, and the white and yellow sugary creme on the inside. I think if I had to pick only...
It's so sour it'll make me cry
One of the trends in the candy world that really came out of the 80s is the super sour. For years every candy company in the world has been looking for a way to make me cry. I have to say some have made it for me, I've cried more from eating some sour concoctions than I did at the end of old Yeller. It's a strange sensation too, that feeling that every muscle in your mouth is contracting in such a way that you can't move your tongue. The worst part of it is when your eyes start to...
HERSHEY'S KISSABLES
With the market flooded with new products, it is a pleasure to see a product that is new, unique and tastes great! Hehrshey's Kissables are bite size, candy coated mini Hershey Kisses with the only difference being that they are unwrapped. Truth be told, they taste great and would be perfect for baking, snacking or throwing at your kid sister... In a market filled with duplications of duplications, we would like to tip our hats to Hershey's for introducing the next "hot" candy.... Although it isn't available in an obscure flavor or color like many of the recent "Limited Editions",...
