Eat with your Eyes: Blue Rock Candy
Rock candy sticks are usually sold as a fancy way to add sugar to your beverage. But they make a perfectly acceptable, if a bit sharp and chunky, lollipop. POSTED BY Cybele AT 7:08 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Thursday, May 20, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Chocolate Covered Pretzel Crisps
They don’t look like much, but let me tell you they’re a great snack. I’m a fan of chocolate covered pretzels, but these are just a little different. They’re chocolate covered pretzel crisps. Pretzel crisps are flattened pretzels, then they’re covered in dark chocolate. (Package here.) I know Trader Joe’s also has a version.

Eat with your Eyes: Choco Ball
Another product I’ve bought but never reviewed: Morinaga ChocoBall. They’re kind of like malted milk balls but the center is a more like a cookie. They come in a wide variety of flavor combinations, this one was chocolate & chocolate. (Package here.)

Albanese Gummy Army Guys
This version of the candy features all opaque green candies in four different poses. They’ve even assigned names: “Bazooka” Bob, “Forrest Fight” Steve, “GI” Johnny, “Sniper” Scott, and “Rifleman” Rich! They’re green apple flavored. I got this 4.5 ounce bag for $1.99 at Powell’s Sweet Shoppe in Paso Robles. It was the first store I saw them in and was a little surprised at the price, considering the fact that I can buy a half pound of Albanese other gummi products at the 99 Cent Store for a buck. But hey, these were cute and unique.
I don’t have much else to say beside the fact that they’re in fact green, look exactly like plastic army guys (except they’re only about 2 1/2 D instead of 3D because they have a flat back). They’re green apple flavored, soft and chewy. Above is Sniper Scott.
So enjoy the photos of the Gummy Army Guys. This is Rifleman Rich.
Apparently Albanese also makes a smaller version of these in red and green - but they’re transparent instead of the opaque army green. Albanese makes a lot of other fun shapes in their gummis, including fighter jets, snakes, butterflies, bears, rings and fish. And that brings us to the last one: Bazooka Bob.
On the whole, a quality product. A little more expensive than the other really well priced Albanese gummis, but still a good deal, especially when you need a themed item. I’m not as keen on the green apple flavor - I prefer their citrus and pineapple. Related Candies
