A Hand Full of Something Missing

One of the things I will never understand about the candy business is flavoured chocolate. Some might even argue that flavoured chocolate is not really chocolate. This argument comes about from the fact that most flavoured chocolates are white chocolate with some kind of flavour added, and many people believer that white chocolate is not chocolate. I'm very divided on the subject of white chocolate being chocolate, but when you add a weird flavour to the chocolate my division pulls a little more towards the idea that it's not. While I don't always understand why companies use flavoured chocolates, I don't always hate them. I just keep wishing that instead of making a chocolate taste like something else, why not use chocolate to accent an amazing flavour.

Click here for an example of why I don't like flavoured chocolate.

Come visit me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and tell my why you love flavoured chocolates.

It Depends Where You Are

One of the questions I get from people about doing a website where I review candy is, "Won't you run out of candies to review?". There's an assumption that everything we see on our grocery store shelves is all the candies available in the entire world. This week's review reminded me that even when you have the "same candy" it's not always exactly the same. There are plenty of candies to taste, and even those classic candies might not be the same from place to place. So don't worry, I don't see myself running out of candies to review anytime soon.

Candy Themes I Don't Understand

It's not very often that I get a candy that has a complete back story that I don't know at all. It most often happens when it's a candy from a place I've never lived, like this week's review. There's something made by Haribo Germany called Maoam. I don't know what that words means and I don't understand the candy. I still enjoy the candy for the most part, but I never really know what to expect. There are a few western candy campaigns that I don't get, most notably the Twix pick a side campaign. I feel like I'm missing something in this campaign because I just don't get it.

A Cup Full Of Chips

I feel like the trend of sweet and savoury is starting to become completely normal. When I was a kid the idea of mixing sweet and savoury was something totally new. There were only a few salty snacks that you would see in a sweet form, and almost every time you'd see them the salt would be removed. Things like popcorn and peanuts would be in both, but you'd almost never find salty popcorn or salted peanuts with anything sweet. I feel like chocolate covered pretzels and potato chips were the first to cross over. Then, as people got used to it, these treats became less special and more mainstream. Today I feel like there's enough sweet and salty treats out there that I should dedicate and entire section of candycritic.org to this combination of flavours.
