Full ReviewAlbanese Sour Inch Worms: World’s Best? Let’s Test.
Albanese Gummis Sour Inch Worms calls themselves World's Best. Not country's best. Not state's best. WORLD'S BEST. Us Candygurus calls thems fighting words. A new candy maker creating a semi-tired, yet tried/true, sour worm gummi and calling them "Worlds Best?" We'll be the judges of that.
Full ReviewNugo: Leggo My Nilla Yogie Nuggo!
I'm plum out of candy and I'm tired of Viet Namese sweets that no one has ever heard of...So I went down to my work's all-organic, we-feed-you-all-the-time-so-you'll-never-leave cafe, and I bought me some Nugo. Vanilla Yogie Nugo.
Full ReviewVero Mango: The Red Dirt Flavor Journey
"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.

Full ReviewGail Ambrosius: Truffles that Men Won’t Hide From
I don't think I've ever heard a dude say, "Man, I sure could use a smooth chocolate truffle right now."

Full ReviewKatjes Chile Heringe: Umm …. I f*&^ing LOVE these
Dammit if the Dutch aren't just super right on. They make great licorice. They aren't afraid of really pushing anise. They don't pretend to cater to children. They play to adults. And they use salt. Like all good cooks.
Full ReviewTrolli Sour Brite Crawler Eggs: Strangely Tasty
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.

Full ReviewDonkey Balls’ “Balls of Fire”: Heatin’ Up Yr Nuts
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.
Full ReviewGrape Vines: They’re Purptastic!
These taste like purple, and it's perfectly logical for today's candy enthusiast to only want authentic, all natural, chardonnay-esque, only organic, non-fructose, raw cane grape candy. I feel you. But personally I love fake grape.
Full ReviewWonka Exceptionals’ Fruit Marvels: Do they Live Up to the Legend?

Full ReviewSour Spanks: Not a Sex Game Gone Awry but a Nice Treat!
The lil' genius who created Jelly Belly's - by far the best tasting jelly bean ever created - contacted Candygurus and said, 'we got candy - review it.' If this isn't a sign that the godforsaken Candygurus have made it then I don't know what is.

Full ReviewFruit Sours from Jelly Belly: Kinda One and Not the Other
Jelly Belly Fruit Sours aren't really fruity or sour. A tad disappointing from our fave jelly bean maker. On the other hand, we know they can make the goods...so perhaps there's hope...

Full ReviewIdaho Spud: What matters is what’s outside, not inside
Coconut and chocolate sounds like a sex party. Trust me, I know. But thick, dense and wet should only describe some bad porn movie - not candy.

Full ReviewNo one Better Slay a Singer on My Butterfinger
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.
Full ReviewDon’t tell Dr. Drew: I’m addicted to Coke! (bottles)
