This is a Colombian chocolate candy called Chokis. The brand is Sonrie’s and interestingly enough, it is made by the company Frito Lay. Sonrie in Spanish means “smile,” so hopefully like Frito Lay’s chips, this too will make me smile. According to the wrapper, these are “chocolatosas y deliciosas” which translates out to “chocolatey and delicious.” But is it true?

The packaging is pretty simple and has a picture of round chocolate balls in different sizes. Upon opening it, however, I found that the chocolates are pretty much the same size, similar to Whoppers but slightly smaller. Also, these chocolate balls are really, really light and feel as if they are hollow on the inside. On the wrapper, the candy is described as “Bolitas de Maiz Cubiertas con Chocolate” which means “Balls of corn covered with chocolate.” After biting into one, it reminds me of chocolate with rice crisps. But remember, this is made with corn and is a lot more airy than rice crisps. They still have a slight crunch to them, but if you prefer a bigger crunch, you can always refrigerate them a little.

Overall, I actually like these Chokis a lot. The bag is a small 18 gram bag of chocolates for 95 cents. It may seem pricey for how small the bag is, but it actually has a decent amount of chocolate balls in it. I can’t give you the exact number due to how excited I got when opening the package. I just started popping them into my mouth without counting. The lightness of the corn crisps makes it really easy to devour a handful without even knowing about it. I really think these Chokis would taste great mixed in a bag of popcorn (But after the popcorn has cooled down, of course, otherwise you’d get melty chocolate which is a no-no).

These brown Espresso candies are round, but wider versions of the tea candies. The wider shape allows these candies room to have a soft, espresso filling. After trying some, I have to say they are pretty good. With 100% natural ingredients, they taste like real coffee. In fact, they taste like the type of coffee I enjoy, where the coffee is really strong, but sweetened with sugar. The inner espresso filling is gooey and not so great texture-wise if you bite into the candy. While I think the candy would have been great even without that extra espresso filling, it definitely makes this candy different.

This Espresso Candy is a must try for coffee lovers out there. Minus the caffeine kick you get from drinking an actual cup of coffee, I actually feel like I just drank some coffee. So much that I even have that lingering coffee breath =D

First of all, these belts are multi-colored with red, yellow, green, and blue. The red is strawberry, the yellow is banana, the green is apple, and the blue is blue raspberry. The flavors are not distinct enough to pick out when you bite into it, but together they taste delicious. To top it off, the entire belt is covered with sour crystals. When you bite off a piece, you get that initial sourness, and then it turns into a really yummy fruity, sweetness. Hands down, this is the best sour belt flavor out there.

I absolutely fell in love with the Fantasy Sour Belts. Don’t get me wrong, I have had these sour belts in the past, but I had forgotten just how good they were. I quickly finished off what little sour belts I had, and went on an Internet hunt for more. That led me to Sweet Factory’s website where I found that they sell candies in bulk. So yes, I gave in and bought a huge tub of Fantasy Sour Belts. A 4.1 pound tub of Fantasy Sour Belts to be exact!

I ordered my gigantic tub of Fantasy Sour Belts on Friday night and they came in the mail the following Tuesday. For standard shipping, I was surprised but extremely happy to have my candy so soon. One thing I did notice is that the Fantasy Sour Belts I bought from the actual store were sourer than the ones I received in the mail. Oh well, I guess it’s one of those “luck of the draw” type of things. In the end, I am still really happy with my Fantasy Sour Belts. How could I not be, when I have this huge tub of sour belts that will last me forever? =D

This tea candy unfortunately doesn’t come in one bag with all three flavors, so I ended up buying three separate bags. Each bag is about $2 and has 42 individually wrapped hard candies. There is caffeine in each candy, but it only amounts to a mere 3 milligrams. It would take you 20-25 pieces to equal one cup of coffee. So those who need a quick caffeine fix, these tea candies are not the way to go. Now on to how it actually tastes.

I started with what sounded like the most basic flavor – the Classic Iced Tea. Looking at the round, brown hard candy, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. When I popped one into my mouth, I was happy to find that it tasted exactly like any typical iced tea you would order at a restaurant. I usually like my iced tea without sugar, but Bali’s Best Classic Iced Tea Candy comes already sweetened with sugar. However, the sweetness of it does not take away from the delicious flavor of the tea. Just like the flavor name, it merely tastes like classic iced tea.

Now for the next flavor, the Citrus Green Tea. This candy looks exactly like the last one, but green. My first taste reminded me of lemon tea with honey. I was disappointed to find that I could not distinguish the green tea flavor. To me, it tastes like Bali’s Best Classic Iced Tea with a lemon flavor that I am not too fond of. I would have much preferred a more pronounced green tea flavor without so much of the lemon taste.

The last Bali’s Best Tea Candy is a greenish-brown, Green Tea Latte flavor. Similar to real lattes, this Green Tea Latte candy contains milk. Yet again, I could barely taste the green tea flavor after eating one. Trying really hard to pick the green flavor out, the “so close, but yet so far” phrase comes to mind. Regardless, I have to say the flavor is actually quite good. Although it is a tea candy, it is a step away from tasting like coffee.

Green Tea Latte - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Bali’s Best Tea Candies are all pretty good. If it were up to me, I’d leave the Classic Iced Tea flavor the way it is, but change the other two flavor names to Lemon Tea and Milk Tea.

The chocolate bar is in a gold wrapper and tucked into a purple box. There is nothing really fancy about the chocolate bar itself. No fancy decorations on the chocolate, just 15 segmented bars. With my first bite, I mainly tasted really sweet milk chocolate and a hint of spices. Somewhere within the hint of spices, I could taste cinnamon and chai tea. One thing I disliked is the milk chocolate itself as it was really sweet and practically went to mush in my mouth.

Overall, this is an okay bar of chocolate with a major plus for it being organic. I would have opted for more of a pronounced Masala Chai flavor and maybe better quality chocolate. I did, however, put the chocolate in the fridge and that seemed to help with the chocolate texture. For the price of about $4, I would not buy this particular chocolate bar again, but I am interested in trying The Tea Room’s other organic tea-infused chocolate bars.

Inside the wrapper, I was surprised to find two bars instead of one. I don’t know the purpose of why they chose to break the bar into two halves, but it is great for portion control if you decide to eat one now and the other later. Or, if you’re sharing with someone, you can each get an equal share of the bar. Biting into the 3 Musketeers Mint, the first thing I noticed was how this bar stayed true to the 3 Musketeers brand and kept its fluffiness. For this mint bar in particular, the fluffiness adds to the bar’s deliciousness as it keeps the mint flavor from overpowering the chocolate. So you are left with a dark chocolate bar with this light fluffy mint flavor.

Overall, this is a great mint chocolate bar. I think the mint fluffiness is perfect as the mint is not too strong, but still present enough to give the minty cool sensation that I love. I bought the bar for 54 cents at my local grocery store, but I did notice that this bar is a lot thinner than your average bar of chocolate. So does that mean it is “45% less fat” because it is a smaller bar? Regardless, I hope this 3 Musketeers Mint with dark chocolate bar is here to stay, for I will definitely be buying more.

Now on to the flavor. The dark chocolate itself isn’t bitter nor is it sweet. Whenever I eat it though, I taste a slight bitterness which I think comes from the orange flavoring. The orange flavor can make the chocolate taste bitterer than it really is. At first, I wasn’t a fan of this chocolate bar. Even the orange scent coming from the bar wasn’t appealing to me.

In the end, the Guylian Dark Orange bar slowly grew on me. I still don’t think orange and chocolate make the best combination, but it isn’t absolutely disgusting either. At $3.59, the Guylian bar is pretty darn pricey. For the same price, I could easily find another chocolate bar more suited for me.

The Orange Ocean jelly bean is… orange of course! I for one think the flavor sounds cute. Taste-wise, it isn’t anything special. It just tastes like a plain ol’ orange jelly bean.

This is the Juicy Fruit Red flavor and just like it sounds, it is red. The name of the flavor doesn’t really describe what flavor it is supposed to be and tasting it doesn’t help much either. The flavor isn’t unpleasant, but it isn’t good either.

The Berry Blue Typhoon jelly bean is blue speckled with purple. It is also a berry flavor, but more of a blue raspberry flavor. It’s decent, but far from being my favorite.

For the Green Berry Rush flavor, the jelly bean is light green with blue speckles. Unlike the previous two flavors, this one was delicious! It’s a berry flavor with a tropical hint to it.

The Mango Passionfruit Squeeze, looks-wise, is the exact opposite of the Lemon Berry Squeeze. It is yellow with pink speckles. The mango and passionfruit flavors really pop in this jelly bean. Compared to the Lemon Berry Squeeze, the Mango Passionfruit Squeeze looks better but doesn’t taste as good.

The Lemon Berry Squeeze jelly bean is pink with yellow speckles. The lemon really stands out and the addition of the berry flavor makes this jelly bean stand out.

All in all, this is a decent bag of jelly beans. The Fruit Juicy Red, Orange Ocean and Berry Blue Typhoons are boring flavors compared to the other three. They seem very plain and don’t stand out in the bag. The Green Berry Rush flavor is my favorite and the Lemon Berry Squeeze comes in close second. If I could buy a bag with just those flavors, I would. Since I can’t, I really don’t see myself buying another bag of these Hawaiian Punch Jelly Beans.
