The Mini Vanilla Cow Tales I found are individually wrapped in an orange, theater sized candy box. Shaped like short Slim Jims, they are made up of chewy caramel with a vanilla cream center. I expected them to be really sweet, but surprisingly they weren’t. You can definitely eat a couple of them without overloading on sweetness. With every bite, the softness of the inner vanilla cream is the first to fade away, leaving you with the chewy caramel. The texture of the caramel is not one to be desired as it seems to be rolled in corn starch to keep the chewy caramel from being too sticky.

Overall, the Mini Vanilla Cow Tales are okay. I like that the floury texture keeps the Mini Vanilla Cow Tales from sticking to my teeth, but it still doesn’t leave a pleasant feeling in my mouth. After eating more and more, I do feel they are slowly growing on me. While I am still not sure if I will be buying more of the Mini Vanilla Cow Tales, I am definitely going to keep my eye out for the Strawberry Cow Tales which sound delicious!

If you are looking for these gummies at the store, they are pretty hard to miss. The bag is Pink and Lime Green and are practically shouting for attention. Inside, all the strings and rings are covered with sugar crystals. They all actually look sour, but surprisingly are true to the advertising on the bag. The strings are sweet and the rings are sour. The flavors were okay, but one in particular stood out in my mind – the Sour Fruit Punch “Ring.” I say “ring” because I only had ONE in the bag! A little disappointing since it was so flavorful and tasted just like fruit punch. The gummies are thick but they have more of a soft chew. I find refrigerating the gummies more to my liking, as they not only give them a cool, refreshing feel but also give them a slightly harder chew.

I would have been happy with a bag of completely sour strings and rings. However, it is kind of neat to be able to share this bag with someone who only likes sour or sweet candy. Say, if your friend likes sour and you like sweet, you can still buy one bag to share! But do look for a bigger bag than a mere two ounce bag like the one I bought for $1. All in all, these Life Savers Gummies Sweet Strings N Sour Rings are pretty decent. I will have to keep my eye open for a bigger bag (specifically for more of the sour fruit punch flavor!).

Super excited to try these new Fizzl’d Fruits Skittles, I looked in the bag and found that they look similar to Sour Skittles. But instead of sour sugar crystals, these Fizzl’d Skittles have a powder coating that provide a fizzy sensation. The more powder, the more fizzy the sensation. For instance, I ate one that barely had powder on it, and it tasted just like I was eating a regular Skittle from the Wild Berry Skittles variety. Then I ate one with a lot of powder coating, and I was instantly hit with a jolt of fizziness. By fizziness, I mean a one to two second delightful, tingling sensation on the tongue similar to a mild soda fizz. You only notice it if you initally suck on the Skittle, but if you just go straight to chewing you most likely will not notice a difference.

If you like the Wild Berry Skittles, then you will love these Fizzl’d Fruits Skittles. It essentially is a bag of Wild Berry Skittles with a twist. Although I like every flavor in this bag, I do feel that the company could have come up with an entirely new line of flavors for this Fizzl’d Fruits edition. Maybe a fizzl’d fruity soda edition with flavors such as grape soda, melon soda, strawberry soda, etc? Even with the repetitive flavors, 50 cents for one bag is well worth it for these yummy Fizzl’d Fruits Skittles.

On the bag is a cute apple character with huge eyes and pursed lips to indicate that the candy is sour. Inside the bag, you’ll find a party going on with fruit sticks and sour crystals galore. The sticks are almost completely covered in sour crystals and look like Sour Punch Straws, except they aren’t hollow like the straws.

I was honestly expecting these to taste just like Sour Punch Straws, but when I took my first bite, I was actually taken back by the sourness. Don’t get me wrong, this was a good thing. I love really sour candy and this was definitely sourer than Sour Punch Straws. It’s sour enough to cause your tongue to go numb a bit, especially if you eat too much in one session. So, be sure to take it easy! Now, if only I could find other flavors to try…

I have tried Baskin-Robbins Hard Candy in mint chocolate chip, but I have never seen the soft candy line. I found two soft candy flavors – mint chocolate chip and very berry strawberry. Both are really good ice cream flavors, but how would they taste as soft candy chews?

Starting with the Baskin-Robbins Very Berry Strawberry Soft Candy. Inside the box is roughly 20 pieces, individually wrapped in a shiny silver wrapper with the Baskin-Robbins logo all over it. The soft chews themselves are pink speckled with red. If you’ve had the ice cream, you’ll know the ice cream is also pink with red strawberry pieces mixed in. The strawberry flavor is actually pretty good and reminds me of the flavor (not texture) of Strawberry Hi-Chew. The texture of these Baskin-Robbins Soft Candy is what ruins it for me as I find it too soft.

The Baskin-Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip Soft Candy are packaged in the same wrappers as the very berry strawberry flavor. The candy is green with black dots all over similar to the look of mint chocolate chip ice cream. The black dots, of course, represent the chocolate chips. The flavor tastes like mint chocolate chip, but again, the texture is what throws it off. Although decent overall, I think the mint chocolate chip hard candy tastes better.

I bought both boxes on sale at 35 cents each. Overall, they’re just average. They both smell extremely delicious, but the taste and texture don’t live up to the ice cream. Let’s face it though, nothing would taste as good as the actual ice cream.

First off, the Cherry Punch Kazoozles. Each package comes with two red cherry flavored ropes with blue punch filling. The cherry rope has a perfect chewy consistency; not too hard and not too soft. I could easily chew it without it getting stuck to my teeth. The punch filling looks gooey and sticky, but practically melts in your mouth. Together, the Cherry Punch Kazoozles are absolutely “delickoricious.” They are like fruit snacks, but better.

The Pink Lemonade Kazoozles contain two lemon ropes with pink cherry filling. They look exactly like the Cherry Punch Kazoozles except the pink lemonade version has sour sugar crystals sprinkled all over it. Don’t let that fool you though; the crystals make it more tangy than sour. Nothing on the wrapper says it’s supposed to be sour, so I can’t really be mad at that. Overall, the Pink Lemonade Kazoozles taste good, can be a bit messy due to the sugar crystals.

Pink Lemonade Kazoozles - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Both were pretty tasty but I prefer the cherry punch over the pink lemonade for two reasons. First, the Cherry Punch Kazoozles aren’t as messy as the sugar covered Pink Lemonade Kazoozles. Second, the flavor of the cherry rope speaks to the cherry fruit roll-up lover in me. For 69 cents each, you can’t really go wrong with either of them.

The Warheads QBZ Sour Fruit Chews look like sugar cubes except in different colors. They are really chewy and are covered in sour crystals. However, they only have a hint of sourness, so even if you are not a fan of sour candy, you still might find these enjoyable. Usually with different flavored candy there’s a flavor that stands out more than the rest, but I couldn’t pick out a favorite from this bunch. They’re all pretty decent tasting, but not sour enough for my taste.

The QBZ Sour Fruit Chews were only $1.49 so they are definitely worth trying out for yourselves. Sour candies generally have sour crystals that accumulate at the bottom of the bag, but I was disappointed to find that this bag didn’t! I really do hope they come out with a more sour version that’ll bump these QBZ Fruit Chews to the “Extreme” category and leave me sour crystals to enjoy at the end. Maybe they can even throw in the Black Cherry flavor from the original Warheads hard candy. So come on Warheads, make me happy!

I was at World Market and came across this Chewy Lemonhead & Friends Candy.  Now, I have always been a fan of Ferrara Pan’s Lemonheads, Cherryheads, Appleheads and Orangeheads but I mainly ate them for the outer sour shells and not for the hard candy on the inside.   Not ever thinking they would make other variations, I was surprised to find Chewy Lemonhead & Friends Candy at the store.  It costs about $1.49 and contains five flavors from the originals: Lemonhead, Grapehead, Orangehead, Cherryhead, and Applehead.

I’ve never had the original Grapeheads, but these chewy Grapeheads are delicious.  Eating them brought me back to my childhood days when I was obsessed with Grape Kool-Aid.  Seriously, if you like Grape Kool-Aid, Grapeheads are for you.  The other flavors – Lemonhead, Cherryhead, Orangehead & Applehead – tasted just like the originals but in chewy form.  They all had delightful, slightly sour outer shells and chewy, jelly insides.

This box of Chewy Lemonhead & Friends Candy was really good.  I liked how the box had the entire variety of “fruit”head flavors.  Made with real fruit juice, my only wish is that the juice I drink is as sour and yummy as these.  If you liked at least one of Ferrara Pan’s original “fruit” heads, you would definitely love these.  Especially if you are like me and was never a fan of the hard candy centers.  On the other hand, if you’ve never had any of the original Lemonhead, Applehead, Cherryhead, Orangehead, or Grapehead candies, this would be a great box to start with since it has all the flavors in one box.

When I first opened these up and saw how pretty they looked, I have to say I was really excited to taste them. I mean, they were so colorful! The Wild Berriez Wazoo has a purple outer layer and its center is divided into two colors, pink and yellow.  It is topped off with what they call “crunchies,” which are blue, yellow, red and pink sprinkles.  On the other hand, the Blue Razz Wazoo has the same crunchies, but it has a blue and pink filling wrapped in a outer blue layer.

I tried the Wild Berriez Wazoo first and it was different, to say the least.  I took a bite and I still half expected to taste chocolate.  There was no chocolate taste of course, but instead, there was this chewy fruity, not-so-yummy taste.  The purple outer layer didn’t melt in my hand, but it was soft to chew and melted in my mouth.  The pink and yellow filling was chewy but not really sticky as they didn’t stick to my teeth.  All together, I kept trying to like this candy, but could not.  However, one good thing about this candy is the sprinkles.  On their own, they tasted pretty good, but with the candy bar, it got lost in Wazoo’s “unique” flavor.

After that first Wazoo bar, I was dreading the thought of eating the second one.  Although after I bit into the Blue Razz Wazoo, I was surprised that it didn’t taste too bad.  As soon the outer blue layer melted, it tasted like a soft, chewy raspberry flavored Starburst.  Even so, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I liked this Blue Razz Wazoo bar.  If anything, it was a slight improvement from the Wild Berriez Wazoo.

All in all, these Wazoo bars looked delicious, but they really didn’t live up to its look.  If you’re still curious about them, definitely go for the Blue Razz flavor. Both cost around $0.79 each. After trying these, candy bars really should just stick to being chocolate.

Moral of this review: Looks, even with candy, can be deceiving.

You realize why these are Nerds candy specifically when you try the strawberry and grape ones.  The outer layers are reminiscent of the original strawberry and grape Nerds.  Although I did immediately think “grape medicine,” the grape flavor eventually grew on me and I finally noticed that they were the original Nerds grape flavor.  Then I tried the strawberry and true to its name, it tasted just like the original strawberry Nerds.  The jelly bean center was very chewy and made these a great variation of Nerds candy.

The other 3 flavors were actually really good.  The orange tasted just like you’d expect orange to taste.  The outer shells of the lime and lemon flavors gave off a little sour taste, which were a nice surprise.  It made me wonder why they chose both lemon and lime when they’re pretty similar to each other in taste.  Couldn’t they have chosen a completely different flavor like watermelon or apple?

Overall, these Giant Chewy Nerds are actually really good.  Upon first trying them, I couldn’t put the bag down.  I tried eating them by just eating the outer layer first before the jelly bean center and I also tried it by just biting into them, and i couldn’t figure out which way I liked it better.  Either way, they’re delicious, under a buck each, and I definitely recommend them to anyone.  I only hope they later come out with a sour version =D
