I was browsing for some sour candy online and came across the Tangy Zangy website. They are not sold in many places, but my boyfriend was kind enough to find Tangy Zangy Sour Sticks for me at Winn Dixie. Although there are various flavors, the only one he could find was Green Apple.
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…

On a mission to get my chocolate fix, I found these Cocoa D’or Nutffles in two flavors – Almond and Hazelnut. Each package costs about $1.29 at World Market and contains three individually packaged Nutffles.
First up: the Hazelnut. The Hazelnut Nutffles are dome-shaped and wrapped in lime green foil. Unwrapped, they resemble the look of Ferrero Rocher, though not as “nutty” looking. Made with Belgian chocolate, each Hazelnut Nutffle consists of a whole Hazelnut surrounded by three layers.
Inside, the Hazelnut is covered with a smooth, creamy chocolate filling that is followed with a thin, cocoa crisp wafer. Keeping the Nutffle together, its outermost layer is a chocolate layer surrounded with rice crisps. Altogether, this Hazelnut Nutffle does wonders. The hazelnut, rice crisps and crisp wafer gives the Nutffle a nice crunch which is deliciously offset by the creamy chocolate filling. Suffice to say, the rich Belgian chocolate and hazelnut flavor are a really nice touch.

Now for the Almond. The purple foiled Almond Nutffles are made of the same layers but, of course, the hazelnuts are replaced with almonds. Obviously, since I enjoyed the hazelnut variation, it was no surprise that the almond was equally as satisfying. I loved it. However, I think the Hazelnut gives the Nutffles an extra oomph in flavor, while the Almond gives it a better crunch. After eating both flavors and finding them both oh-so good, I realize it’s the smooth, inner chocolate filling that makes the Nutffles absolutely delicious.

I recommend both these Cocoa D’or Nutffles to anyone as they definitely do not disappoint. The different nuts give these Nutffles a slight difference, but if you’re big on nuts, there is also Peanut flavored Nutffles which I did not find. The $1.29 price tag is nothing compared to the happiness these Nutffles have given me =D
