Don't Let These Butterfingers Slip Through Your Fingers

 While it's not my favourite candy bar, it's really cool to watch them make Butterfingers.

Don't let a single issue of Snack Facts get through your fingers either.

Crunky All Week Long

Many people outside of Asia have no any idea what Crunky is, but those who have visited or lived there are very familiar with this chocolate treat. I'm not too sure what was the first Crunky treat since there are so many different ones available right now. It was likely the milk chocolate bar with the rice crisps, but I could be wrong. All I know is that today there are so many different treats made in the Crunky style, and this week I'm going to review 3 of them.

Check out the first of many Crunky reviews.

Flavour Combinations We Love To A Fault

I think we have a bias about what flavours work with which candy. While there are certainly some flavour to candy combinations that objectively don't work, there are many candies that for some reason we always expect them to be a certain flavour, even though there's no reason that it has to be that flavour. Take gumnies, for some reason chocolate flavoured gummies are just never a thing, yet there's no reason why it shouldn't work. Chocolate works in just about every single other sweet treat, but it's extremely rare in gummies, why is that? There's nothing about gummies that suggest the texture of fruit, but for some reason most gummies are fruit flavoured.

Check out my latest review to read about another flavour combination that should work.

Shape Is Important

I think it's pretty interesting that a candy like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup can exist before the Reese's Bar. I say this because bars are the most typical shape of chocolate treats, and cups although not too strange, are not nearly as common as bars. Even the old commercials for Reese's Cups used to show people eating bars of chocolate and accidentally getting peanut butter on these bars. They never explained the cup shape, and frankly I don't know where it came from. I probably would have never even thought about this if it wasn't for this bar, the candy that appears to be a step backwards in the evolution of the peanut butter cup.

Check out my full review of this strange yet very simple bar.

Dessert Themed Candy

You would think that making a dessert themed candy would be easy. Some people even think that desserts and candies are pretty much the same thing. While I will agree that there is some crossover between desserts and candy, saying they're the same thing is like saying lunch and dinner are the same thing. While both are similar and can even have similar ingredients, there's a certain something that differentiates these two meal, and the same is true with candy and desserts. This is why I find that not all dessert themed candies work. I feel like the people that come up with these dessert/candy combinations don't really understand the difference, and I even think they figure mixing these two themes is an easy combination.

My latest review is an attempt to mix a dessert with a candy, it tastes pretty good, but I don't think it worked.

I've got another Cow Tales review going up later this week, make sure to follow me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter to check it out.

Raw Dangerous Cookie Dough

I have a question for you, has raw cookie dough always been dangerous? I ask because I've been eating cookie dough for a long time. In fact I can't remember the first time I've ever tried it, and I can safely tell you that I don't think a year of my life has gone by without eating cookie dough. It just seems like in the last few years people have had to make special cookie dough for me to eat. When I was a kid, I would just eat the stuff right out of the bowl, or tube as the case may be. I never thought about raw eggs being dangerous, I guess I figured mixing it in a bowl made it safe?

Check out my fun review featuring very safe cookie dough.
