I eat so much candy I don't understand how I'm not diabetic. Anyway, here is a list of candies I have eaten and my opinion of them all.

Notes
|
3 Musketeers |
USA |
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 because I've never had them.
|
100 Grand |
USA |
Caramel-coated in puffed rice all coated in chocolate. The puffed rice adds a nice crispiness making an otherwise boring candy enjoyable.
|
Alfie - Milk & Strawberry |
Thailand |
Candy bar with crispies in it, half strawberry, half milk. Strange texture that leaves an odd film in your mouth.
|
Almond Joy |
USA |
Sweetened coconut with whole almonds and coated in chocolate. Very good, nice crunch from the almonds. Better than Mounds.
|
Andes Mints |
USA |
Layered milk chocolate and mint. Nice flavor.
|
Baby Ruth |
USA |
A bar of nougat topped with caramel and covered in peanuts, all coated in milk chocolate. Fairly good, but I prefer a Pay Day.
|
Bounty |
The Netherlands |
Sweetened coconut in milk chocolate. Basically Mounds, but with milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. I like Mounds more.
|
Bun |
USA |
A soft patty coated in chocolate with nuts. Flavors include: maple, caramel, and vanilla. Far too sweet.
|
Butterfinger |
USA |
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.
|
Cadbury Mini Eggs |
USA |
Milk chocolate "eggs" with a thin candy shell. The candy coating has an interesting egg-like crackly texture, but neither it nor the chocolate taste all that good.
|
Caramel Smooth |
|
Milky way knock off. Has a more mealy flavor.
|
Caramello |
USA |
Milk chocolate bar with pockets of soft caramel. Extremely sweet, with a strange taste. Ghirardelli Squares with caramel are much better.
|
Carlos V |
Mexico |
Solid milk chocolate bar. Really good smooth chocolate like Dove. One of the best.
|
Charles Chocolates - Nuggle |
Trinidad and Tobago |
A bar of nougat covered in peanuts and a little caramel, all coated in milk chocolate. Very similar to a Baby Ruth, but with less caramel.
|
Charles Chocolates - Ping Pong |
Trinidad and Tobago |
Milk chocolate covered peanuts. Not bad.
|
Chocoball - Pineapple |
Japan |
Small balls of biscuit coated in candy. The pineapple flavor is very accurate.
|
Chocolate Fish |
Australia |
Cherry fish-shaped soft marshmallow coated in dark chocolate. It's okay.
|
Chunky |
USA |
Peanuts and raisins in a thick square chocolate bar. Hard to break, the raisins hurt the flavor.
|
Corona - Crispy Chocolate |
Egypt |
A milk chocolate bar with rice crispies in it. It's okay, but the chocolate is only so-so.
|
Daim |
Sweden |
Chocolate covered almond toffee. Very delicious, similar to a Heath bar.
|
de la Rosa - Mazapán Original |
Mexico |
Powdered peanuts and sugar flattened into a disc. Kind of dry and boring.

A bar of dark chocolate. As bitter as you'd expect.
|
Ferrero Rocher |
Italy |
A roasted hazelnut surrounded by soft chocolate, encapsulated by a thin wafer, and all enveloped in hard milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts. Quite delicious. Flavors include milk chocolate, coconut, and dark chocolate.
|
Ghirardelli Squares |
USA, California |
Chocolate squares with a variety of flavors. Flavors include dark chocolate filled with raspberry, dark chocolate and sea salt filled with caramel, dark chocolate filled with mint, milk chocolate and white chocolate with peppermint candy, and plain dark chocolate. Quite good.
|
Glosette |
Canada, Ontario |
Chocolate-covered peanuts. Exactly what you'd expect.
|
Goo Goo Cluster |
USA |
An overly-sweet patty of marshmallow nougat with caramel and peanuts enclosed in chocolate. Varieties are original, pecan, and peanut butter. The peanut butter replaces the nougat with sweetened peanut butter. Not a big fan of any of them.
|
Hawaiian Sun - Kona Krunch |
USA, Hawaii |
A macadamia nut and puffed rice covered in milk chocolate. Decent, but nothing special.
|
Heath |
USA |
English toffee with chopped almonds throughout, coated in chocolate. Really good, delicious toffee flavor and enjoyable crunch.
|
Hershey's Kisses |
USA |
Small pyramid-shaped chocolates wrapped in foil. Pretty boring, but various forms have been made including almond, mint, cherry, and white-chocolate "Hugs."
|
Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme |
USA |
White chocolate bar with chocolate cookie bits. Not very good.
|
Hershey's Gold |
USA |
Peanut butter flavored candy bar with a few bits of peanut and pretzels. I don't care for the flavor, and there isn't enough pretzels.
|
Hershey's Milk Chocolate |
USA |
A simple milk chocolate bar. Too sweet, poor texture.
|
Hershey's Symphony |
USA |
A milk chocolate bar with chopped almonds and toffee chips. Very good.

Poland |
Wheat biscuit wrapped in caramel, topped with rice crispies and chopped hazelnuts, all coated in milk chocolate. It's okay.

Kex - Choklad |
Sweden |
Layered crispy wafers covered in milk chocolate. Kind of like a KitKat, but in one giant bar.
|
Kinder Chocolate |
Italy |
Milk chocolate with sweet milk filling and a little Aryan boy on the cover. Kind of Nazi-looking, but extremely good.
|
KitKat |
USA |
A wafer bar coated in chocolate. Decent flavor, nice crunch.
|
KitKat - Green Tea |
Japan |
KitKat coated in green tea flavored white chocolate. Not a fan.
|
KitKat - Mint |
Japan |
KitKat with dark chocolate on the bottom and mint chocolate on the top. Very good, better than the original.
|
Konti - Bonjour |
Ukraine |
A sugar cookie and a layer of cappuccino jelly topped with coffee whipped cream all in dome of milk chocolate. Interesting concept, messy to eat, the coffee makes it too bitter for my taste.
|
Krispy |
USA |
Flat milk chocolate bar with crispy rice inside. Not as good as a Nestlé Crunch bar.
|
Lazy Cow |
Ukraine |
Crispy wafer with sweetened milk flavoring coated in chocolate. Very good.
|
Lindt Excellence - Chili |
USA, New Hampshire |
A large dark chocolate bar with chili extract. The dark chocolate is bitter, and the chili just adds heat, not much flavor. Not a fan.
|
Lindt Excellence - Intense Orange |
USA, New Hampshire |
A large dark chocolate bar with almonds, orange, and various other fruit extracts. The bitterness of the dark chocolate is helped by the fruit. It's decent.
|
Lindt Classic Recipe - Hazlenut |
Switzerland |
A large milk chocolate bar with chopped roasted hazelnuts. Very tasty.
|
Lindt - Lindor |
USA, New Hampshire |
A milk chocolate shell with a soft filling. Fillings include fudge swirl, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Good, but extremely sweet, and not worth the calories.
|
M&M's |
USA, New Jersey |
Candy-coated milk chocolate bites. The original is plain chocolate, but various fillings have been tried over the years. My favorites are: peanut, mint, crispy, pretzel, English toffee, almond, peanut butter, plain, and hazelnut spread.
|
Mallo Cup |
USA, Pennsylvania |
Chocolate cups filled with runny marshmallow and coconut. Much better than I expected.
|
Marabou |
Sweden |
Milk chocolate bar, with or without nuts. Creamier than American chocolate.
|
Marabou - Dubbel Nougat |
Sweden |
Layered candy bar that's half milk chocolate and half almond praline. It's okay, but very sweet.
|
Marabou - Oreo |
Sweden |
Candy bar filled with sweet milk, Oreo pieces, and thinly wrapped in milk chocolate. Pretty good.
|
Meivel - Turrón Viena |
Spain |
Wafer sandwiched with nougat and coated in chocolate. The flavor is a bit odd, but not bad.
|
Milky Way |
USA |
Nougat and soft caramel covered in chocolate. Was my favorite chocolate bar as a child, but now I find it to be a bit too sweet.
|
Milky Way Caramel |
USA |
Soft caramel covered in chocolate. Too much caramel, not enough anything else.
|
Milky Way Midnight |
USA |
White nougat and caramel covered in dark chocolate. My favorite chocolate candy bar.
|
Moro |
Australia |
Caramel and nougat coated in milk chocolate. Structured like a Milky Way, but with a very different taste. The caramel has a more cooked, almost burnt flavor.
|
Mounds |
USA |
Sweetened coconut coated in dark chocolate. Pretty good, but not as good as Almond Joy.
|
Mr. Big |
Canada, Ontario |
A vanilla sandwich wafer wrapped in caramel, rice crispies, and chopped peanuts, all wrapped in milk chocolate. Pretty good.
|
Mr. Goodbar |
USA |
Hershey's milk chocolate with peanuts. Better than the plain chocolate bar, but not amazing.
|
Nestlé Crunch |
USA |
Flat milk chocolate bar with crispy rice inside. Pretty good and better than Krispy.
|
Novy Star Bar |
Egypt |
A firm chewy nougat (like a Charleston Chew) with a very thin layer of chopped peanuts and caramel all coated in milk chocolate. Quite bland.
|
Now - Chocolate Paste |
Pakistan |
Chocolate frosting in a plastic wrapper. Messy to eat and not very good.
|
Oh Henry! |
Canada, Ontario |
A milk chocolate bar filled with peanuts, caramel, and peanut butter. Decent, but extremely sweet and gritty from the sugar.
|
Ovation |
USA |
Dark chocolate stick filled with mild peppermint. They're okay.
|
PayDay |
USA |
Peanut butter nougat coated with caramel, and a thick layer of salted peanuts. Really good. Better than a Baby Ruth.
|
Pixie Caramel |
Australia |
A caramel bar covered in semi-dark chocolate. Enjoyable.
|
Plopp |
Sweden |
Milk chocolate bar filled with gooey toffee. Quite good, if you can get past the name.
|
Ptasie Mleczko - Batonik Waniliowy |
Poland |
A long narrow vanilla marshmallow coated in dark chocolate. Not very good.
|
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup |
USA |
Sweetened peanut butter in a flat milk chocolate cup. Too sweet and oily.
|
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup - White |
Mexico |
Sweetened peanut butter in a flat white chocolate cup. Not a fan of white chocolate, and far too oily.
|
Ritter Sport - Butter Biscuit |
Germany |
Tea biscuit coated in milk chocolate. Crunchy, but not much flavor.
|
Ritter Sport - Corn Flakes |
Germany |
Milk chocolate bar with cornflakes. They add crunch, but the flavor isn't great.
|
Ritter Sport - Hazelnut |
Germany |
Chocolate bar with lots of whole hazelnuts. Sold in milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Good flavor and crunch.
|
Ritter Sport - Marzipan |
Germany |
Dark chocolate bar with marzipan filling. A bitter and unappealing combination.
|
Ritter Sport - Milk Chocolate |
Germany |
Basic milk chocolate bar. Slightly different flavor and texture from American chocolate.
|
Ritter Sport - Praline |
Germany |
Milk chocolate bar with praline filling. Quite delicious.
|
Robin Eggs |
USA |
Whoppers with a thin candy shell. I prefer regular Whoppers, the candy coating only adds sugar and decreases the maltose flavor.
|
Rolo |
USA |
Chocolate cylinder filled with caramel. Bland and too sweet.
|
Roshen Dark Chocolate |
Ukraine |
Dark chocolate car filled with creamy fondant. Pretty good. The fondant makes it less bitter than normal dark chocolate.
|
Sanders - Sea Salt Caramel Pecan Clusters |
USA, Michigan |
Chopped pecans and caramel coated in chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt. Good caramel, and the salt adds to it. I'm not a big fan of pecans though.
|
Skor |
USA |
Thin toffee coated in chocolate. Pretty good, but Heath is better.
|
Special Dark |
USA |
A dark chocolate bar. Slightly bitter, better than Hershey's milk chocolate.
|
Snickers |
USA |
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.
|
Snickers Almond |
USA |
Snickers but with almond pieces instead of peanuts which gives it a more unique flavor. This is my favorite Snickers.
|
Snickers Crisper |
USA |
Snickers but with rice crisps added. I like this more than regular Snickers.
|
Snickers Peanut Brownie |
USA |
Brownie with caramel and peanuts coated in milk chocolate. Pretty good.
|
Snickers Peanut Butter |
USA |
Snickers but with the peanuts replaced with a layer of sweet peanut butter. I prefer regular Snickers.
|
Sno Caps |
USA, New Jersey |
Semi-sweet chocolate chips coated in spherical white sprinkles. Gives them a crunchy texture. Decent, but nothing special.
|
Take 5 |
USA |
Pretzels and peanut butter below peanuts and caramel, all coated in chocolate. Pretty good, and the pretzels are a nice change up.
|
Timi - Banana |
Ukraine |
Crispy wafer with thin layers of banana creme, covered in milk chocolate.
|
Toblerone |
Switzerland |
Prism-shaped chocolate triangles. Contains chopped almond and nougat bits. Not very good.
|
Tirma - Ambrosías |
Spain |
Crispy wafers layered with creme and coated in white chocolate. It's okay, but I'm not a white chocolate fan.
|
Twix |
USA |
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.
|
Wafer Snap |
|
Cheap knockoff of KitKat, but more mealy flavor.
|
Wawel - Krówkowa |
Poland |
Milk chocolate bar with pockets of soft caramel. Like a Caramello, but with a better caramel flavor.
|
Whitman's Sampler |
USA |
A mix of various chocolate candies. Flavors include: chocolate whip, fruit & nut caramel, caramel, dark maple fudge, chocolate truffle, toffee (kind of burnt taste), cherry cordial, dark chocolate covered almonds, cashew cluster, chocolate covered peanuts, coconut, dark molasses chew, pecan & walnut cluster, and messenger boy (plain milk chocolate).
|
Whittaker's Peanut Slab |
Australia |
A thick milk chocolate bar filled with whole peanuts. It's fine, but nothing special.
|
Whoppers |
USA |
Malted milk balls coated in artificial chocolate. Lovely crunch, delicious flavor.
|
Zero |
USA |
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.
|
Candy |
Nation |
Notes
|
Abba-Zaba |
USA |
Simple taffy with a "mystery" flavor. Nice taste and taffy texture, but it would be nice if they had more than one flavor.
|
Ahlgrens Bilar - Original |
Sweden |
Sweet marshmallow cars with a hint fruit flavor. There are three flavors, but I can't identify any of them. The texture is unique. They're airy, so they collapse from a bite, but then they become rather dense. It's not unpleasant, but unique. Flavors are pink, green, white.
|
Airheads |
USA, Kentucky |
Chewy candy strips. I don't like these, they're far too grainy.
|
Albanese Gummi Bears |
USA |
My favorite brand for gummy. Softer than most competitors with a large variety of flavors, including: grape, blue raspberry, pineapple, pink grapefruit, green apple, watermelon, lime, strawberry, cherry, lemon, mango, and orange.
|
Albanese Gummi Bears - Ultimate |
USA |
An all-natural flavors and colors variety. Half the flavors are so muted they're difficult to discern, and the similar colors don't help, the others like orange and mango are kind of gross. Flavors are: Amity Raspberry, Queen pineapple, crimson cranberry, black currant, Fuji apple, Asian pear, blood orange, and Alphonso mango.
|
Banana Skids |
Sweden |
Banana and toffee flavored hard taffy. A good combination of flavors.
|
Betty Crocker - Fruit Flavored Snacks |
USA, Minnesota |
Assorted gummy snacks themed with the latest fad. Although they're made in different colors and advertised as having assorted flavors, they all taste the same with a vaguely fruity sweetness. Not very good.
|
Black Forest Gummy Bears |
USA |
Better than Harbio, but not as good as Albanese.
|
Bonds of London Fruit Pastilles |
London |
Gummy candies coated in sugar. Basically, firm gumdrops, but made with real fruit juice. Better than most American gumdrops.
|
Candy Corn |
USA |
A chewy sugary candy shaped in a corn kernel-shaped pyramid, with orange, yellow, and white coloring. Bland and waxy.
|
Cherri and Bubb |
USA |
Mike and Ike style candy with just cherry and bubble gum flavors. It was nice to have bubble gum, but cherry already existed in the original Mike and Ike, so it was redundant.
|
Chewy Lemonhead Fruit Mix |
USA, Illinois |
Chewy versions of Lemonheads. Flavors include: grape, lemon, cherry, lime, orange.
|
Chewy Lemonhead Pink Lemonade |
USA, Illinois |
Chewy versions of Lemonheads, just pink lemonade flavor. Kind of bland.
|
Chuckles |
USA |
Sugar-coated jellies. Like gum drops, but softer. Flavors are: cherry, lime, lemon, orange, and licorice.
|
Cougar Yogurt |
Thailand |
Yogurt-flavored chews. Has a tart mildly acidic yogurt flavor which is interesting.
|
Crazy Bee |
Ukraine |
Fruit jellies, not as chewy as gummies, with a fruit goop inside. Very good. I've only tasted strawberry, lime, and orange, but other flavors include grapefruit, sour cherry, and wild berry.
|
Crows |
USA |
Licorice flavored dots. Gross, unless you like licorice.
|
Dare Real Fruit Gummies - Superfruits |
Canada, Ontario |
Plant-based gummies. Very waxy and not much flavor. Flavors are: blueberry, cranberry, blackberry, and black currant.
|
Dots |
USA |
Chewy gumdrops without any sugar coating. Flavors, in order of appreciation are: strawberry, cherry, lime, lemon, and orange.
|
Drumstick Squashies - Sour Cherry & Apple |
London |
A hybrid of marshmallow and gummy. Good flavor and texture. Goofy name. They're not drumstick shaped, instead, they look like school erasers.
|
Fabulicious - Sherbert Fizz |
New Zealand |
Red licorice tubes filled with a sour semi-fizzy ooze. Not much flavor, just sugary and sour.
|
Fini - Bricks Ladrillos - Strawberry? |
Spain |
Candy "bricks" with a white filling coated in sugar. Very sweet, but not much flavor.
|
Fini - Roller Fizz - Strawberry |
Spain |
Strawberry flavored candy roll covered with a tart sugar. Tastes good, but very messy.
|
Four Seas Daifuku Marshmallow |
China |
Marshmallow with a semi-sweet chocolate paste inside. Pretty good.
|
Fruit Salad |
Spain |
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.
|
Gimbal's Gourmet Jelly Beans |
USA |
Used to be a good replacement for Jelly Belly, but they changed their formula in 2020 and ruined the texture. Eats more like a cheap generic jelly bean now.
|
Good & Fruity |
USA |
Like Good & Plenty, only with cherry flavored candy in the center instead of licorice, and a different flavored coating based on the color. Original flavors were raspberry, cherry, lime, lemon, and orange. In 1992, the center candy was changed to match the exterior color. The candy frequently goes out of production. It was brought back in 2008 with raspberry replaced with blue raspberry.
|
Good & Plenty |
USA |
Pink and white candy-coated licorice cylinders. Gross.
|
Haribo - Friendship Rings |
Germany |
Gummy rings with a "stone." They're a bit hard and bland. Each ring has two flavors, one for the band, and one for the stone. The flavors are the same a Gold-Bears.
|
Haribo - Gold-Bears |
Germany |
Gummy bears that are a bit bland and hard. I prefer Albanese. Flavors are: pineapple, cherry, lime, lemon, and orange.
|
Haribo - Happy Cherries |
Germany |
Gummy cherries that are a bit hard with a medicinal cherry flavor. Not awful.
|
Haribo - Happy-Cola |
Germany |
Gummy cola bottles. A bit hard, and, like most cola candy, the flavor is a bit off.
|
Haribo - Starmix |
Germany |
An assortment of Harbio gummies (Gold-Bears, Happy Cherries, Twin Snakes, Happy-Cola, and Friendship Rings). The tartness of the cola flavor leeches into the other candies a little.
|
Haribo - Twin Snakes |
Germany |
Two gummy snakes, each a different flavor, merged together. One is sweet, the other is sour. A bit hard, but better flavor than Gold-Bears.
|
Hello Kitty - Strawberry Marshmallow |
Japan |
Mild strawberry flavored marshmallow with a small amount of strawberry spread inside each one. Not too bad.
|
Hi-Chew |
Japan |
A chewy candy of assorted flavors. The texture is like a cross between chewing gum and gummy candy. It uses real fruit so the tastes are much more accurate compared to American candy. My favorite flavors are grape (especially good!), apple, strawberry, white peach, açai, kiwi, and mango. Uses foil wrappers for longer freshness.
|
Hi-Chew Plus Fruit |
Japan |
Includes fruit pulp in the candy. Flavors are mango/pineapple and cranberry/grape.
|
Hi-Chew Sours |
Japan |
Not sour at all, just citrusy. Flavors are lime, grapefruit, and lemon.
|
Hilal - B-rry Bites |
Pakistan |
Raspberry and blackberry gumdrops coated in candy dots. Good flavor.
|
Hilal - Jiggles - Crunch |
Pakistan |
Small jelly beans with a candy shell for added crunch. Not bad. Flavors are red fruit, black currant, lemon, and orange.
|
Hilal - Jiggles - Watermelon |
Pakistan |
Watermelon gummies shaped like watermelon slices and coated in sugar. Decent.
|
Hot Tamales |
USA |
Mike and Ike style candy, but all cinnamon. Nice flavor, decent heat, but gets boring with just one flavor.
|
Huer Sour Cola Bottles |
Canada, Quebec |
Gummy cola bottles with a sour sugar coating. Decently sour, but I don't care much for cola candy, so I don't care much for these.
|
Jelly Belly |
USA |
Jelly beans with dozens of flavors, many of which taste shockingly like their analog. I love these, but they're very expensive.
|
Jengo - Sour Bites |
Egypt |
Gel cola bottles coated in sour sugar. Decent flavor, but dull.
|
Jolly Joes |
USA |
Mike and Ike style candy of all grape. Gets boring fast.
|
Jolly Rancher Gummies |
USA |
Gummy Jolly Ranchers. Slightly waxy exterior. Flavors include green apple, watermelon, blue raspberry, grape, and cherry.
|
Jolly Rancher Misfits |
USA |
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.
|
Jujubes |
USA |
Semi-hard chewy candies in small cylinders. Flavors include (in order of appreciation): raspberry, lime, grape, lemon, orange. Usually too hard to enjoy.
|
Jujyfruits |
USA |
Semi-hard chewy candies in fruit shapes. Flavors include (in order of appreciation): raspberry, lime, lemon, orange, and anise. I like the idea, but I usually find they're too hard to appreciate because they get stuck in your teeth.
|
Kasugai Gummy Candy |
Japan |
Gummy discs. Flavors include: grape, muscat, pineapple, peach, mango, kiwi, Ramune, lychee, yuzu, strawberry, watermelon, and apple. Others I haven't tasted include: cranberry, lemonade, melon, and orange.
|
Lacasa Pikotas |
Spain |
Cherry balls with a gummy center. Enjoyable, but needs more variety.
|
Laffy Taffy |
USA |
Taffy in assorted flavors with lame jokes on the wrappers. The taffy has a good texture, and most of the flavors are good. Although a lot of flavors have been made over the years, you usually only see strawberry and banana. The cheap packaging causes the taffy to harden after a couple days.
|
Lem and Mel |
USA |
Mike and Ike style candy consisting of just lemon and watermelon flavors. The watermelon was a nice addition, but lemon was in the original, so it's redundant.
|
Lush Chocolates |
Thailand |
Small chocolate chews filled with chocolate creme. Kind of bland.
|
Li Hing Mui - Rainbow Belts |
USA, Hawaii |
Chewy rainbow strips flavored with Chinese li hing mui plums. A mix of sweet, salty, and fruity. Enjoyable to eat.
|
Lunch Buddies Fruit Flavored Snacks |
USA |
Generic fruit snacks. Decent texture, little flavor, fruit shape doesn't always match flavor. Flavors include: cherry, grape, apple, strawberry, lime, orange.
|
Mamba |
Germany |
Fruit chews. Not as waxy as Starburst. Assortments have problems giving an equal amount of flavors. One bag I had was almost entirely orange with no cherry, while the bar-form promise four flavors, but only contain three at random. Flavors I've tasted include raspberry, strawberry, orange, and lemon.
|
Mamba - Tropics |
Germany |
Fruit chews. Not as waxy as Starburst. Same assortment variety problem. Flavors I've tasted include pineapple-coconut, mango-orange, and apple-kiwi.
|
Mary Jane |
USA |
Peanut and molasses chews. Very good.
|
Maynard - Juicy Squirts - Berry |
Canada, Ontario |
Fruit gummies with liquid center. Flavors are cherry, peach, strawberry. My pack was mostly peach and strawberry with only two cherry and no grape. These have a very artificial flavor with a medicinal aftertaste, not a fan.
|
Meiji Gummy Choco |
Hong Kong |
Strawberry gummy drops coated in milk chocolate.
|
Mentos - Mint |
Netherlands |
Hard candy shell with a chewy center with a peppermint flavor. I like the texture, but the same flavor gets old fast.
|
Mentos - Fruit |
Netherlands |
Hard candy shell with a chewy center with three fruit flavors: strawberry, orange, and lemon. There is little variety as 66% of the flavors are citrus, and they seem to appear far more frequently than the strawberry flavor.
|
Mentos - Soda Mix |
Thailand |
Hard candy shell with a chewy center with four flavors: grape, honeydew, lemon, and strawberry. The flavors are just fruit flavors with a slightly more acidic flavor, only the grape flavor tastes like actual grape soda. The strawberry tastes a bit bitter. Not very good.
|
Mike and Ike |
USA |
Barrel-shaped candies with a chewy center and semi-hard shell. Flavors are: cherry, strawberry, lime, lemon, and orange.
|
Mike and Ike - Mega Mix |
USA |
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.
|
Mixed Berry Pastilles |
Malaysia |
Chewy blackcurrant and grape gumdrops coated in sugar. Sour and delicious.
|
Mott's Fruit Flavored Snacks |
USA |
Good texture, but very little flavor, they're just sweet. There are only 3 flavors: apple, pear, and sweet potato, and five shapes: grape, strawberry, apple, carrot, pear.
|
Nerds - Big Chewy |
USA |
Chewy centers with a crunchy candy shell. A little tart, but otherwise bland, and I'm pretty sure this candy existed before and just now has a new branding. The bag I bought had a lot of orange and a little grape. Flavors are grape, strawberry, orange, and lemon.
|
Nerds - Big Chewy - Sour |
USA |
Chewy centers with a crunchy candy shell. Mildly sour. Flavors are blue raspberry, watermelon, blood orange, strawberry lemonade.
|
Ninja Gummy |
Japan |
Firm gummy lozenges with a thin candy coating. Cola flavored. Not that great.
|
Nordic Sweets Soft Raspberries |
Sweden |
Raspberry gumdrops. They are bouncier than American gumdrops and require more pressure to chew through. Good highly-sweet raspberry flavor.
|
Norfolk Manor - Jelly Babies |
UK |
Child-shaped jellies coated in powdered sugar. Not very good. Flavors are raspberry, black current, strawberry, lime, lemon, and orange.
|
Now and Later Shell Shocked |
USA |
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).
|
Original Gummi Fun Mix |
Spain |
An assortment of gummy bears, worms, cherries, sharks, and Swirlz (large swirled gumdrops). Seems like a collection of the stuff that fell off the machine rather than a purposely made mix. The assortment claim 18 varieties, but they're including different flavors. The "worms" are so short they're more like maggots. The bears and worms aren't very good, but the sharks and drops are nice.
|
Orion Jelly - Grape |
South Korea |
Medium-sized gummy snacks with a decent flavor. Flavors are grape and peach.
|
Panditas |
Mexico |
Gummy pandas. Too hard, not enough flavor or variety. Flavors are strawberry, lime, orange, and pineapple.
|
Paradise |
Egypt |
Candy chews. Flavors include pineapple, strawberry, mango, and cola.
|
Pascall Fruit Burst |
Australia |
Chewy fruit bites. Flavors are wild berry, banana, strawberry, lemon & lime.
|
Pascall Pineapple Lumps |
Australia |
Chewy pineapple bites coated in chocolate. Kind of like a Charleston Chew. Pretty good, but I would like more than just one flavor.
|
Pelon Pelonetes |
Mexico |
Little candy balls with a chewy center. Despite the rainbow colors, they are all tamarind flavor. Not that great.
|

The cherry punch straw is decent, but the cream inside is awful.
|

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.

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. I especially like mixing vanilla with orange or cherry.

|
Candy Buttons |

Small candy blobs adhered to a sheet of paper. Despite their colors, they're often the same bland flavor. You usually end up eating a fair amount of paper trying to eat the buttons.
|
Candy Cigarettes |
USA |
Long cigarette-shaped white candy rods. Bland flavor, but the cigarette packaging helped children believe smoking was cool.
|
Charms Mini Pops |
USA |
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.

Small torus-shaped hard candies. I enjoy most of the flavors. My favorite fruit flavors are: cherry, blackberry, pineapple, watermelon, and orange (they've changed over the years, and I don't remember how much I liked the older flavors). I really like the butter rum flavor which is butterscotch with a hint of rum.

|
Nerds Rope |
USA |
Just Nerds stuck onto some taffy. It's fine, I guess, but not worth in increased price tag.
|
Pez |
USA |
Pressed powered sugar tablets meant to be put into cheap plastic dispensers. Even as a child, I found the dispensers only get in the way of eating the candy. The flavors are mild, but not unpleasant. In order: raspberry, lemon, strawberry, orange, and sugar cookie.
|
Pop Rocks |
USA |
Candy crystal with cavities filled with slightly pressurized carbon dioxide. When the shell weakens, from coming into contact with saliva, the gas escapes with a small pop which creates a tingling sensation in your mouth. There are various flavors. While I like the idea of the candy, it's too expensive for the small amount you get in each pack.
|
Rain-Blo Pops |
USA |
Cheap knock-off of Blow Pops, but with worse flavors and less gum.
|
Red Hots |
USA |
Small hard cinnamon candies. Just enough cinnamon to become hot, but not so much to burn like Atomic Fireballs. Very enjoyable.
