Turrón Supercoco

Now here is another review of a Colombian candy. This one is called Turrón Supercoco. The packaging has a green and yellow design with a picture of a coconut on the front. According to the bag, the candy contains 100% natural pieces of coconut. Although I am not a huge fan of coconut flavored anything, I am all about using natural ingredients.

Inside the bag, there are 50 rectangular candy pieces, or as the bag describes them, “Turrones.” I unwrapped my first piece and immediately smelled the coconut. I popped it in my mouth and could taste somewhat of a sweet, sugary, caramel like flavor. The coconut flavor was also present, but became more obvious after sucking on the candy for awhile. Surprisingly, I actually thought the flavor was pretty good. However, the texture could use a little work. It starts off as this solid rectangular candy, but after sucking on it, the coconut pieces start to appear and the texture goes from a smooth surface to a rough one. The coconut pieces are similar to hardened grated coconut pieces and while they may be good on dessert, they are not as appealing in these Turrones. I especially did not like being left with coconut pieces in the back of my throat.

Overall, I would have to say these Turrón Supercoco candies are all right. The flavor is fine, but the texture could be better. Rather than sucking on the candy, I found that chewing on the candy worked out better for me. Do note that the texture does not necessarily make these candies soft chews, it will take some effort to get into it. For me, chewing on the candy disguised the hardened coconut pieces, so I was left to merely enjoy the taste of the sugary, coconut flavor.
