Frosty Nerds

4 Dec 2009

On with the Christmas candy… Frosty Nerds. I love Christmas themed candy and this one really caught my eye. The box is covered with red Nerds and has three flavors listed – Watermelon, Wild Cherry, and Punch. On the back of the box is a little message from the Wonka Company that reads “Greetings to you from Willy Wonka himself! Tremendous things are in store for you! Many tasty treats await you! Inside this Scrumdiddlyumptious package you will find mystic and marvelous surprises that will entrance, intrigue & delight you beyond measure.” Haha I love it! Let’s see if it holds true.

The top-left side of the box has a tab that you can open to pour the nerds out and tuck in to close. Because the box is completely covered with red Nerds, I had assumed the three flavors would all be red and it would be a surprise as to which flavor Nerd you would actually be eating. However, upon lifting the tab, I saw not only red Nerds, but green and white also. Definitely a lot prettier than I had imagined. I looked at the box again and realized that there were seven red, green, and white Nerds that I had not noticed before. They are really cute too since the seven Nerds are wearing Christmas hats, scarves or winter hats =D

The watermelon, wild cherry and punch flavors are really good. If you pick out each color, you can taste the difference between the three flavors. Of the three, I would say the Wild Cherry flavor is the most pronounced and best tasting. All together, they taste like tangy, delicious Nerds. I agree with the box and say this makes a great stocking stuffer! Great Christmas candy for only 99 cents =D
