Candy Notes
3 Musketeers Chocolate nougat coated in chocolate. Nice and fluffy, but a bit boring. Originally sold with three bars: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but only chocolate remains. I wish I could buy it in three flavors again.
100 Grand Caramel coated in puffed rice all coated in chocolate. Very good, the puffed rice adds a nice crispiness.
Almond Joy Sweetened coconut with whole almonds, coated in chocolate. Very good, nice crunch from the almonds. Better than Mounds.
Baby Ruth Chocolate nougat surrounded by peanuts in caramel, all coated in chocolate. Fairly good, but I prefer a Pay Day.
Bonds Assorted Toffee Whirls Toffee swirled with a creme filling. Very sweet, but a little bland.
Bonds Barley Sugar A sweet hard candy that's very familiar tasting, but still unique.
Bonds Clotted Cream Fudge Kind of like a clumpy version of American caramel. Good flavor, not as chewy as I'd like.
Bonds Fruit Pastilles Gummi candies coated in sugar. Basically, firm gumdrops, but made with real fruit juice. Better than most American gumdrops.
Bonds Rhubarb & Custard Hard candy with a mildly tart flavor. Pretty good, and, thankfully, doesn't taste much like real rhubarb.
Bun A soft patty coated in chocolate with nuts. Centers include maple, caramel, and vanilla. Far too sweet.
Butterfinger Crispy peanut butter and honey center coated in chocolate. I used to love it but they switched the formula in 2019 and gave it a stronger roasted flavor, but it now has an almost burnt bitterness to it which I don't like as much.
Carlos V Solid milk chocolate bar. Really good smooth chocolate, one of the best.
Charms Mini Pops Pretty awful suckers. They all have a strange chemical flavor. The bag advertises 12 flavors, but the vast majority are of only 6 flavors. Of them, the only one I like is fruit punch.
Charleston Chew Taffy-like nougat coated in chocolate. Nougats include chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Not that great.
Chunky Peanuts and raisins in a thick square chocolate bar. Hard to break, the raisins hurt the flavor.
Dove Milk Chocolate Milk chocolate with a nice smooth texture. Very good.
Drumstick Squashies - Sour Cherry & Apple A hybrid of marshmallow and gummi. Good flavor and texture. Goofy name. They're not drumstick shaped, instead, they look like school erasers.
Fruit Salad Same texture and packaging as Star Burst, even to the point of using a tear drop, but only one flavor, a swirl of pineapple and raspberry. Sweet and chewy, but almost medicinal in taste.
Harry Potter Candy
Heath English toffee with chopped almonds throughout, coated in chocolate. Really good, delicious toffee flavor and enjoyable crunch.
Hershey's Milk Chocolate A simple milk chocolate bar. Too sweet, poor texture.
Jolly Rancher Hard candy with a variety of flavors, most of which are delicious. Sold in a variety of shapes including long flat sticks, short flat sticks, smaller rectangular drops, and suckers. I prefer the smaller rectangular drops.
Jolly Rancher Misfits Gummy candies with two flavors in each piece. Flavors include green apple/cherry, blue raspberry/watermelon, and strawberry/lemon. Candy uses proper Jolly Rancher flavors, and I like the gummy texture, but I would prefer if the flavors were separate.
Kasugai Gummy Candy
Kinder Chocolate Milk chocolate with sweet milk filling and a little Aryan boy on the cover. Kind of Nazi-looking, but extremely good.
KitKat A wafer bar coated in chocolate. Good flavor, nice crunch.
Krispy Flat milk chocolate bar with krispy rice inside. Not as good as a Nestlé Crunch bar.
Laffy Taffy Taffy in assorted flavors with lame jokes on the wrappers. The taffy has a good texture, and most of the flavors are good. Unfortunately, you rarely see flavors other than strawberry and banana, and the cheap packaging causes the taffy to harden very quickly.
Mike and Ike - Mega Mix Mike and Ike with 10 fruit flavors including: Caribbean punch, strawberry-banana, paradise punch, grape soda, kiwi banana, mango delight, watermelon, pineapple banana, peach berry, and blue raspberry. Far more enjoyable than the regular mix.
Milanówek Milky Cream Fudge Basically clumpy American caramel from Poland. Bland.
Mary Jane Peanut and molasses chews. Very good.
Mentos Fruit I like the hard shell with a chewy center, but there are only three flavors, two of which are citrus: strawberry, orange, and lemon. Also, the flavors are randomly filled and seem to have far more strawberry.
Mentos Mint Good texture, nice minty flavor.
Milky Way Nougat and soft caramel covered in chocolate. Used to be my favorite chocolate bar, but now I find it to be a bit too sweet.
Milky Way Caramel Soft caramel covered in chocolate. Too much caramel, not enough anything else.
Milky Way Midnight White nougat and caramel covered in dark chocolate. My favorite chocolate bar.
Mounds Sweetened coconut coated in dark chocolate. Pretty good, but not as good as Almond Joy.
Mr. Goodbar Hershey's milk chocolate with peanuts. Better than the plain chocolate bar, but not amazing.
Nestlé Crunch Flat milk chocolate bar with crispy rice inside. Pretty good and better than Krispy.
Now and Later Shell Shocked Puts a smooth hard shell on Now and Laters and sold unwrapped in a bag of assorted flavors. Kind of nice because they don't dry out as badly as ordinary Now and Laters, but they're also considerably softer which takes away some of the fun of the candy. I don't care much for them, but I like the favorite in the following order: cherry, grape, apple, banana, and strawberry (which tastes strange).
PayDay Peanut butter nougat coated with caramel, and a thick layer of salted peanuts. Really good. Better than a Baby Ruth.
Puchao Puchao are multi-textured chewy Japanese candies of assorted flavors. I've only tasted the cola and ramune flavors which have little pockets of fizzy powder in them. The ramune flavor is spot on, while the cola flavor is a bit bitter.
Rain-Blo Pops Cheap knock-off of Blow Pops, but with worse flavors and less gum.
Red Bird Peppermint Candy Puffs A crunchy mint that easily falls apart when you chew it and has a mild peppermint flavor. I love these because, unlike most peppermint candies, they're not overpowering.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Sweetened peanut butter in a flat chocolate cup. Too sweet and oily.
Riesen A chocolate caramel coated in dark chocolate. Not too sweet, and very delicious.
Rolo Chocolate cylinder filled with caramel. Bland and too sweet.
Skor Thin toffee coated in chocolate. Pretty good, but Heath is better.
Slo Poke Chewy caramel. Better than most American caramels like pasty Sugar Babies or the grainy Kraft caramel.
Special Dark A dark chocolate bar. Slightly bitter, better than Hershey's milk chocolate.
Spree A disc-shaped candy with a bright glossy coating. Similar to a Sweet Tart, only more intense. Flavors are (in order of my favorite to least): cherry, grape, sour apple, lemon, and orange.
Spree (Chewy) A chewy version of the normal candy. I like these slightly better than the hard ones.
Snickers A nougat bar topped with caramel and peanuts, coated in chocolate. Very enjoyable. Growing up, I preferred Milky Way, but now I like Snickers more.
Sugar Babies Bean-sized caramels with a firm exterior. Pretty bland and grainy.
Sugar Daddy Hard caramel on a stick. The caramel is good, but I would like it more without the stick. I always end up eating a bit of paper trying to get the caramel off.
Sweet Tarts - Mini Chewy Nice texture, but they don't taste all that great. More sour than flavor. Seems like there are more yellow and orange than any other color.
Sweet Tarts - Soft & Chewy Ropes The cherry punch straw is decent, but the cream inside is awful.
Take 5 Pretzels and peanut butter below peanuts and caramel, all coated in chocolate. Pretty good, and the pretzels are a nice change up.
Toblerone Prism-shaped chocolate triangles. Contains almond and nougat bits. Not very good.
Tootsie Fruit Chews Chewy Tootsie Roll-shaped fruit candies with a harder shell in the flavors of lemon, lime, cherry, orange, and blue raspberry. They're the same artificial flavors as fruity Tootsie Roll candies. Enjoyable, but a little waxy.
Tootsie Fruit Chews Rolls Same consistency as a Tootsie Roll, but with alternate flavors. My favorite flavors in order of best to worst are vanilla, cherry, lime, orange, and lemon.
Tootsie Pop
Tootsie Roll A chewy chocolate caramel. Simple, old fashioned, and delicious.
Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers Minis Bland, not very sour, only 3 flavors and they all taste similar.
Trolli Sour Brite Eggs Rubbery texture, not sour at all, only 3 flavors and they all taste similar, nice color fade though.
Twix Cookie bar with a topping, and then coated in chocolate. Most common is caramel. Peanut butter used to be very popular when I was a child, but I don't see it anymore. Pretty good.
Twizzlers Pull 'n' Peel Fun to eat at first, chewy, but not much flavor. Green apple: decent, cherry: acceptable, watermelon: bland.
Vimto Mini Fizzy Pencils I like the Vimto flavor, but the strawberry cream filling is awful.
Walker's Original Toffee Very hard chewy toffee. Tastes like a Werther's, but slightly chewy, very nice.
York Peppermint Pattie A peppermint patty coated with dark chocolate. Very enjoyable and good texture.
Zero Caramel, peanut, and almond nougat covered in white chocolate. I don't care much for white chocolate, and the almond tastes more like extract than actual nuts. Not a fan.
