It’s that time of year again where I think some of the worst in Jewish cuisine surfaces. Don’t get me wrong, I have fond memories of sitting at the kid’s table with a bowl of Aunt Maureen’s matzo ball soup and my cousins and I trying to polish off the Concord Grape wine [...]
Some more Easter candy comparisons found. Nestle Crunch makes what they call “Nest Eggs” which are mini egg shaped versions of their crisp chocolate.
A company called “Frankford” makes a similar version of this treat called Crispy Eggs which I found at my local dollar store.
Nestle Nest Egg:
There are plenty of crisp grains of rice [...]
Rasinets are a once-in-a-while thing that although I like, I just find myself not buying that much. I think I used to mostly get these when I went to the movies. I probably only go to the movies once a year and can’t even remember the last time I went (Rocky Balboa, I think) so it’s [...]
I feel like Cadbury really has the market cornered on chocolate eggs they seemed creme eggs recently and today I found a Hershey version of the Cadbury candy coated, or “crisp sugar shell” milk chocolate eggs.
On the back of the Cadbury bag it actually states that they’re made by Hershey’s (which in case anyone [...]
Because of the popular demand (1 person) to post about Sky Bar, I just had to go ahead and do it. As mentioned in the candy hearts post, Sky Bar is made by Necco and will forever be my favorite candy bar. For those who are unfamiliar with Sky Bar, it’s a four-section [...]
Happy Valentine’s day! To be honest I never got these hearts, they’re hard, chalky and a waste of calories. Being born and raised in Massachusetts, NECCO* (New England Confectionery Company)products are everywhere, including the wafers, which my parents love but I never could appreciate or understand how anyone liked them. Sweethearts are just a heart version [...]
Of course I didn’t realise Mars owns Milky Way until after I bought these but when I’m in the store and I see something worthy of comparison I just buy it and look it up when I get home. Besides, there’s a reason a company produces similar products, and since this blog is about figuring [...]
Caramello used to be one of my favorite candy bars, I don’t remember when we parted ways but I’ve slowed down to probably one of these every 2 years. I’m usually not a fan of caramel but I enjoy the soft, non-teeth suctioning texture of Caramello. When I saw Galaxy Caramel, I just had to compare. I [...]
I don’t know too much about these candies so I looked in Wikipedia and though this was interesting: “Prior to 1992, all Good & Fruity candies contained the same-flavored red gummy center, relying upon the hard candy shell to provide the different flavor according to color. Sometime around 1992, however, the formula was changed and [...]
What do you do when you want some peanuts but it’s just not convenient to open a jar? Of course you grab a candy bar that’s made of peanuts stuck together with some goop. Okay maybe that wasn’t the idea behind these bars, but they certainly would be handy for peanut lovers to eat while [...]
