Posted by Matty On August - 24 - 2010

What’s the smoothest candy you know. Think about it for a second.

Vero Mango: The Red Dirt Flavor Journey

Posted by Matty On June - 25 - 2010

“I taste loads of tamarind, and spice and salt.” Which country made the candy I’m eating? Mexico. Of course! Tamarind is to Mexican candy like mustard is to American hot dogs – slopped on there every time whether you want it or not. Vero Mangos though…kinda yums.

Posted by Matty On April - 16 - 2010

These things are spicy and it creeps up on you; takes awhile to get there. Maybe 5 full one-one-thousands later and then this great cayenne flavor starts to appear in the back of my throat. Serious pure heat. I likey.

The Candygurus Do Mexico

Mexico, thou hast forsaken us-up till NOW.

The fine people at Wonka sent us a bunch of sweets, half chocolate and half non-chocolate- I’m putting away the dark cocoa mistress and burying my gob into some fruity chewy type treats. Do they live up to the Wonka legacy?

Rock Band, Yogurt and Haribo Jogi Bussi

Posted by Scotty On February - 8 - 2010

The crowd goes wild. Haribo Jogi Bussi is pretty darn good. Thick gummy texture. Haribo’s signiture fruity flavors and a twist – these are actually filled with liquid yogurt. They also have that layer of foam on the bottom that seems perfect as an addition to Haribo’s gummy’s but too much when its the main course. This all worked perfectly for me.

Need some candy to make your holiday zing? King Leo has the Pep Bark for you. Your workmates will kiss you, and you won’t even need to be under the mistletoe; it’ll be perfectly inappropriate.

Do you really look forward to eating candy canes? No one else does either. These might change that.

Lifesavers’ gummy track record sucks-can they change it with these?
