We may be sour, but we know our sweets.

Ritter-Sport: New (and Old?) Chocolate Bars FTW

Posted by Matty On August - 31 - 2010

I may have eaten more chocolate over the last 2 weeks than I’ve ever eaten in a 2-week span because dammit if the Ritter-Sport people didn’t send us like 9 chocolate bars. Read the review and watch our 32 second take on one flavor, here:

Despite being a terrible review, this is a GREAT candy. One of my new faves.

Dorval Sour Belts-Trumped By A Puny Fruit Chew?

Posted by Jonny On June - 22 - 2010

Dorval sour belts and straws are great-but the toss in throw-away candy they included stole the show

And The Winner Is…Vosges Haut Chocolat!

Posted by Jonny On June - 8 - 2010

Vosges continues to make chocolate based candy treats that are insta-classics. This time is no exception.

Really? ANOTHER great candy that we can’t get in America???

Trolli Sour Brite Crawler Eggs: Strangely Tasty

Posted by Matty On May - 15 - 2010

After 6 days of literally ingesting nothing but lemon juice, syrup, water and cayenne, I’m back eating candy – and maybe a week off from candy curdles the brain but when I opened this Trolli package – I was yummed over.

Caramel Knowledge: Choco Domes Worth Scaling

Posted by Matty On February - 26 - 2010

Cocoa Pete’s Caramel Knowledge: Name and packaging aside – these dark chocolate/dark caramels kick ass

I have never quite had anything like it. The nougat really is great, crispy, crunchy, sweet with a touch of honey flavor. There is almost no tooth stick unlike what I was expecting and the fantastic almonds are muey plentiful and somehow sweet – I think – could be the nougat. They boast a 63% almond content. There is a weird paper on both sides of the bar – something like rice paper – but it didn’t really bother me.

It’s a magical, phantastic, phantasiatic adventure!

Caramel Apple Lollipops-Not Just For Perverts Anymore!

Posted by Jonny On June - 19 - 2009

Is it possible for this candy to be BETTER than a real caramel apple?

You never know what you’re getting with lollipops. Will these deliver on their promised flavors, or will they suck ass?

Review By : Jonny

Last weekend my wife went to Las Cruces, New Mexico to visit her long time friend Kathleen, who happens to also be a good friend of mine. Kathleen has been living in Scotland for the last 8 years or so, and was visiting her family in New Mexico.
Isn’t this interesting?

No one Better Slay a Singer on My Butterfinger

Posted by Matty On April - 7 - 2009

If you need to read my review to know what this candy tastes like, then you either live in a cave or live outside the US. Both sound kinda fun to me right now.

Review By : Jonny
As we approach Easter, I approach Jelly Beans. Being hella Jew-y, the holiday has absolutely zero meaning for me, aside from candy. But that’s good, right? At least we can all bond in SOME way around the holiday.
We’ve already established that most jelly beans suck. Boring. Some [...]
