S'Mores In Candy

I feel like s'mores should be the easiest treat to reproduce in candy form, but frankly I don't know if I've ever found a treat that pulled off the perfect match. I've tried s'mores ice cream, candy bar, and even cookies, but nothing has been able to match the pure bliss that is biting into a warm s'mores fresh off the fire. I feel like it's a fools errand to try and recreate this treat, but I'm always happy to try out any candy companies attempt.

Not All Kit Kat Bars Are The Same

I think we can all agree that not all Kit Kat bars are the same. After all there's not way that a milk chocolate Kit Kat will taste anything at all like a wasabi flavoured Kit Kat bar. There is however one thing about American Kit Kat bars that's a little strange, and that's the fact that they're made by Hershey's. Everywhere else in the world Kit Kat bars are made by Nestle, but for some reason Hershey makes all the Kit Kat bars in the US. I'm sure there's some kind of guideline that they follow to keep them in line with the Nestle bars, but I will be honest, in general I find American Kit Kat bars to be less superior to just about any other Kit Kat bar.

Is Boring Candy Interesting?

These Nibs made me think a little bit about what makes a candy interesting. Bright colours, interesting shapes, fun textures? In some ways these Nibs get a check in each category, yet I wouldn't call them interesting at all. I might even go so far as to call these the opposite of interesting, but I wouldn't call them boring. It's as if these Nibs somehow manage to be so simple and dull that I'm totally fascinated about who would come up with this idea, how one could market these, and why they've been on the market for so long. I ate an entire giant bag of these Nibs trying to figure this out, and I had a really good time.

I Don't Think I Like Menthol

Fairly often I find that I've discovered a new candy or kind of candy that I love, rarely do I find one that I don't like. While I don't hate all menthol candies, I'm finding that recently more and more candies using this cool ingredient seem to be using it wrong. It has got to a point where if I find a candy that has the word "cool" or "menthol" on it and it's not mint, then I'm a little nervous about trying it. I understand what Hershey's is doing here with the menthol flavour, but I just don't think it works. It's almost as if they saw the design of this bar on paper, then didn't bother to actually taste it when it was done.

Everything Is Not Clear

I think we all have mixed feelings about surprises. A surprise is great when it's something you enjoy, but it's horrible when it's something you don't. This is often the case with candies, as they are probably the food where surprises are the most common. After all, the idea of getting a hamburger and finding a "surprise" is something that scares most people. A gumball filled with something surprising sounds a lot better, but only if it's something you like. If I got a gumball filled with fake watermelon flavoured goo I'd be really disappointed and might even spit it out. If this gumball was filled with cherry goo I'd be super happy. These Malo Cups had a surprise, and I wasn't really that happy about it.
