This next review is on Nestle’s Peruvian chocolates called Sublime. The candy is packed in a silver wrapper with a green image of South America in the background. A short description on the wrapper describes the chocolate bar as milk chocolate with peanuts. You could think of it similar to Mr. Goodbar with a higher chocolate to peanut ratio.
Specifically, Sublime is a 34 gram chocolate bar, small in length but pretty thick. Unlike a Mr. Goodbar, Sublime is more square rather than a rectangular bar. My first bite consisted only of the milk chocolate. The chocolate is milky and sweet, but nothing special on its own. I took another bite that included some of the peanut pieces and it tasted better overall.
All in all, this Sublime chocolate bar is anything but “sublime”. It is nothing to rave about. It was just average to me. If anything, I would have preferred more peanut pieces. However, even with more nuts, it would not make this chocolate more than average.

Loading ...Beso de Negra
24 Mar 2010
I heart S’mores. This Colombian candy called Beso de Negra is the candy equivalent or more like the unmelted version of S’mores. It is a big chunk of marshmallow on a cracker covered in chocolate. The bag I have has two pieces and costs $1.25. Seems expensive right off the bat, but let’s see if it lives up to its price.
The chocolate layer of my Beso de Negra consisted of cracked chocolate pieces. Granted, I have had these sitting around for awhile and it may have cracked from other candy I had placed on top of it. Even so, these chocolates were delicious! The inner marshmallow is huge and of a nice consistency. It is not sticky at all and is of a light, foamy texture. The cracker is not your typical S’mores graham cracker, but more cookie-like (which I like =D). Altogether, this Beso de Negra is really really good.
In English, “Beso de Negra” means “Black woman’s kiss.” I do not know why, but I wonder where they were going with that. In my opinion, $1.25 is pretty pricey for two pieces of chocolate, but most definitely worth it for these yummy marshmallow goodies.

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

Kazoozles, another Wonka brand candy with an interesting name. Similar to Twizzlers Sweet and Sour Filled Twists, these Kazoozles are also rope candy with fillings. There are two flavors – Cherry Punch and Pink Lemonade. Never failing to bring out the kid in everyone, the description on the wrapper reads “delickoricious chewy candy.”
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.
Cherry Punch Kazoozles - Rating:
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:
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.
