It has been a few years, but candy reviews are back with a vengence. This time including tons of pictures & video!
 |
Unknown Peanut Candy with Red Coating – Loud & crunchy. Like a peanut M&M without chocolate. Kelsey’s new favorite candy. |
 |
Choco Retas – A crunchy after dinner mint. I would eat them again. |
 |
Pico Tico – Salt, sugar, & chili pepper. I mainly tasted the salt & sugar & wasn’t into it, but Kelsey dug them. |
 |
Winis Barrita Mysterioso – A stale Laffy Taffy with some kind of bubble bath flavor. |
 |
Tio Lolo Glorias – Goat Milk, sugar, & pecans. I just thought this tasted like carmel, but Kelsey literally threw up. |
 |
Carlos V (by Nestle) – Generic chocolate, not particularly good. Has “Me Perdonas?” written on the candy for some reason. |
 |
Ricolino Spicy Fruti Gomas – I’m not a fan of gummi stuff & I didn’t find this particularly spicy or fruity. Kelsey spit hers out & wiped her mouth out with a napkin. |
 |
Pulparindo Tamarind Sticks – The texture of Air Heads, but it tastes like a bad raisin. |
 |
Ricolino Duvalin Bisabor Hazelnut & Vanilla – This is basically cream cheese cake icing. Like a sweeter Nutella. I think it would go well with pretzels. |
 |
Moritas Gomas Aciditas – A gum drop coated in little sour dots so they look like blackberries & raspberries. I think this is my new favorite candy. |
 |
Bocadin – Chocolate covered wafers that just taste like a wafer. |
 |
Rellanito Mango – A jolly rancher with a carmel mango center. The whole house smelled fruity after Jamie ate one & he says he’d buy it again. |
 |
Kranky – Chocolate covered corn flakes that taste like really bad chocolate on rice. |
 |
Dulce de Camote (Sweet Potato Candy)
– This just tastes like a buttery
sweet potato. The texture seems hard, but it melts in your
mouth. Good in small quantities. |
 |
Dulceria La Napolitana Candy Guava Roll – I had to spit this candy out. The problem was the flavor. Kelsey kept hers down though. |
 |
De La Rosa – A peanut marzapan that
crumbles up to powdered sugar with
a nutty edge. Non-cravable. |
 |
Mara Mango – Chili pepper covered
lollipop. Pretty
disgusting, tastes like the floor of an asian market. The
checkout clerk warned us not to buy them & she was right. |
 |
Obleas Arcoiris – Neon colored
communion wafers? This isn’t
candy! No wonder the Jews complained in the desert! |
 |
El Ponchin Dulce de Leche – Tastes like cream cheese icing only sweeter. So sweet it hurts. |
 |
Tin Man Sunflower Raindrops –
Chocolate candy coated sunflower
seeds. These aren’t great on their own, but I think they’d
shine in a trail mix. |
 |
Tin Man Chocolate Rocks – Basically M&Ms in odd shapes. I’d suggest these for M&M fans, though I think they are slightly less sweet. |
 |
Nestle Sno Caps – A little too chocolatey to me. Probably because I thought they’d be minty & they’re not. |
 |
Red Velvet Cupcake Bites – They just taste like cookie dough, which is fine I guess. |
 |
Sour Smog Balls – Great story on the back of the box & worth seeking out to read. Taste wise it’s similar to Sweet Tarts, texture wise similar to Lemonheads. Pretty decent. |
 |
Haribo Raspberries – These Moritas Gomas Aciditas impersonators suck! They look identical, but taste awful. |
