Double Vision?

To me, this candy totally makes sense, but that's because I'm Canadian. While I'm not sure if this is the most Canadian candy ever made, I'm pretty sure it only makes sense if you are Canadian. To understand this bar you have to be familiar with a Coffee Crisp and Tim Horton's. To Canadians both of these things are very familiar, I would even say that these are every day foods in Canada. Some Canadians might not even realise that these are Canadian exclusives since they're so common in Canada.

Texture As A Variety

Today when we see different varieties of candies, the thing that's often the difference is the flavour. It's much more rare for candy companies to change the texture of their classic candies at all when they come out with a new variety. Even more rare is candy companies coming out with a new variety of their classic treats and the only real difference is the texture. The folks at Werther's did just that, and it worked pretty well.

Better With Chocolate

I've always said that just about anything can be improved with chocolate. This new candy review is a fine example of that. It's even something one might not normally think of working with chocolate, but it does. There's really only one thing that I might argue has never worked with chocolate, and that's onions. I've had a few treats with dried onions mixed with chocolate, and I've never been happy while eating it. This isn't to say that I will avoid anything with onions and chocolate in the future. In fact if you have an onion chocolate combination that you think works, let me know, I'd really like to be able to say that everything works with chocolate, but right now I can't.

If you have a great onion and chocolate combination, let me know about it on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

This Week I'm Eating All The Jolly Ranchers

Maybe not every single Jolly Rancher that's ever existed, probably not even ever flavour that's available right now. I find that here in Canada it's tough to get your hands on any flavours other than the classics. Since I noticed that the lack of Jolly Rancher reviews was a big hole in my candy review collection, I figured the least I could do was fill it with as many of the classic flavours as I could find. I will warn you *spoilers*, one Jolly Rancher flavour is one of my favourite hard candies, another is one of my least favourite.

Is Cookies and Cream Just White Chocolate?

I have a strange relationship with cookies and cream treats. More often than not I really like them, but I can't really figure them out. If someone asked me to describe cookies and cream chocolate treats, I would likely say that they're like a white chocolate bar with cookie bits, only creamier. I feel like that's a good description, but I'm not sure technically how accurate that is. I don't know how they make cookies and cream chocolate, but each time I bite into a treat made with it, I wonder.

Turtle Time

When I was a kid, Turtles were all the rage. I'm not sure when they came out, but I feel like they really hit their stride in the mid 80s. There was even competition from other candy companies making Turtles rip offs, like Armadillos. Interestingly, I don't think that Nestle put out a million different variety of Turtles then, it was just the one kind of Turtle, and they promoted it like crazy. Today the way to promote yourself seems to be about making a million varieties, and changing up the size is certainly a key tool in the candy bar war. I'm not sure it always works (see this new review), but I'm happy it happens. After all, when candy companies are forced to be creative, we all win.

A Bar That's Famous, But Not To You

This week's review features a chocolate bar that you've probably never heard of. Likely you figure that this bar is some weird candy that's only available in some small country. You probably imagine that this Alfie bar is something only a handful of people know about. If you thought all of that, you'd be wrong. Alfie bars are actually really common, and I would wager that it sells better than many North American candy bars. The thing is, it's only available in Asia. A place where there's a huge population of people that are starting to really enjoy eating candy bars. Sure this bar wasn't my cup of tea, but for millions of people in the world this is becoming a classic candy bar, and chances are you've never even seen it before.

A New Candy Review From Europe

I've been lucky enough to travel to many places, and eat candy from just about every corner of the world. One of the interesting things about the world is the way that candy flavours and trends seem to stick together, geographically. It seems like borders don't mean as much as general regions. For example, this box of chocolates that was purchased in Finland, has a very central/northern European feel to it. A marshmallow from Asia is very different than a North American marshmallow. Caramel from South America is also very unique, but similar within South America. It's obviously the fact that food traditions spread across areas and ignore the borders. They do however stop at random places and suddenly there's something completely different. It's hard to explain, but if you taste the same chocolate bar made in different parts of the world, you just might start to understand it.

We're A Little Delayed This Week

Normally I would post all about our new review on Mondays, but this week I'm posting on Tuesday. Obviously the reason is because Easter was on Monday. I figured it was best to leave the Easter review up for an extra day and keep the theme alive. 

With Covid being a thing, our household started a new Easter tradition that frankly I hope stays around for a while. Rather than going to visit family, or go out enjoying any kind of spring weather, we decided that the best thing to do during this 4 day long weekend is binge watch our DVD collection. We did this while also eating a lot of snacks. The idea was to dig up those DVDs that you never figured we'd actually get around to watching, and crossing them off our list. This meant that we finally finished 24, we finished Bewitched, and while we didn't finish, we got through many episodes of Tabitha, Soap, and the Marry Tyler Moore show. We actually really enjoyed all but one of these shows.

Click here to read the slightly late, but still interesting new candy review.

If you want to find out which show we didn't like, maybe we'll tell you on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

Bunny Time!!!

For my last Easter review I decided to go with this chocolate Easter Bunny Kit Kat treat. The one thing I've noticed over the years is an increase in brand name Easter treats. Not that Easter treats didn't have popular brand names when I was a kid, but today I'm noticing more every day brands are coming out with Easter treats. So now you're seeing Butterfinger eggs, Crunchy mini eggs, and Kit Kat bunnies. I'm not sure how I feel about that, particularly since it appears that the classic Easter treats are getting less shelf space.

The Egg Shape Works!

I’ve always been intrigued by the Easter Egg. I don’t really understand how it’s come about, even though I’ve done some research on the subject. Having said that, I feel like the egg is a really good way to deliver filled chocolates. I’m not as big a fan of just hollow chocolate eggs, but as a means to deliver filling, I feel like chocolate eggs are very good. Because of the oblong shape each bite is a little different from the next. On the narrower end of an egg you get more chocolate to filling, but around the center it’s mostly filling and less chocolate. It allows for an interesting balancing act between chocolate and filling. I also feel like the egg is a comfortable shape to hold. This is more so when you’re talking about larger filled egg treats. While I’ll never understand the origins of chocolate eggs, I’m always going to enjoy eating them.

Click here to check out my latest Easter review, which happens to be egg shaped.

Easter In Covid Times

I feel like Easter is the one holiday that can work during Covid. While we all want to be outside or with extended family right now, Easter is the holiday where those in your house can celebrate together. More to the point, even if Covid was not a thing, it's very likely that you would not be going out during Easter (except those who celebrate at church). So start thinking about how you can celebrate this year and make sure to make it a great Easter. Hide treats no matter how old you are, paint Easter eggs now matter what lever artist you are, make this the best Easter ever and build new traditions that will last forever. If you do know someone who is absolutely alone, dawn your bunny ears and drop off a basket at their front door.

Be safe, but make Easter awesome.

Hi Chews Are Really Popular

I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say that they love Hi-Chews. I can't really figure out why, other than the amazing texture, they're just little taffy cubes. Maybe it's because it's an Asian candy that's not very intimidating, or maybe it's the occasionally strange flavour they offer. It's not to say that I don't like Hi-Chews, I just don't know if they'll ever make my list of top candy brands. They're just taffy, with a slightly rubbery texture (that I like a lot) and often a fairly fake flavour.

I'm Getting Too Old For This

My birthday is this week, and I've decided that I'm okay with what many people call old people's candy. I'm also okay with kids candy as well, but I've come to terms with the fact that my taste is maturing. The other day I found myself going through Twitter, I saw a picture of some peppermints and I was excited at the idea of tasting them. I'm pretty sure that peppermints are not the kind of candy that the young kids are into, so I've accepted that I'm an old man. Fortunately I feel like I'm not too old to continue to eat kids candy, so I don't have to retire this website.

Reviews Are Back, But They Almost Disappeared For A Little While

My goal was to finish the Quality Street review-a-thon last week, but Wednesday afternoon changed everything. That was the moment that I spilt a half a glass of water on my laptop. While it was a horrifying moment, two things worked in my favour. First and foremost Allison and I acted quickly and dried off what we could, as well as turn the computer off immediately. Secondly it was only water, and not tea or cola. After the spill we cleaned it up very quickly, set it upside down, and had to wait about 3 days. After those 3 days I tried to turn the computer on for the first time, and luckily it turned on and everything was still working.

So now that everything is okay, I've decided to resume the Quality Street review-a-thon with a fine example of caramel and chocolate mixed together.
