Eat with your Eyes: Stars
I bought these sour jelly stars a couple of years ago just so I could take a picture of them. And eat them. POSTED BY Cybele AT 9:47 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Saturday, May 15, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Mushroom
Michel Cluizel Champignon Caramel - it’s quite an engineering achievement. The cap is an almond crunch covered in chocolate, the stem is filled with caramel, covered in dark chocolate then white. POSTED BY Cybele AT 9:29 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Polls • Friday, May 14, 2010
Eat with your Eyes: Red
These are a different kind of red lentil. They’re Kopper’s Milkies, like M&Ms only made with smoother milk chocolate. (Original review here.) POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:07 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Thursday, May 13, 2010
Nobel Nama Caramel Gummy
A couple of years ago I picked up a package of Puccho that was creme brulee flavored (technically I think it was called Baked Puccho - Custard Cream). I love it so much and though I know it was a limited edition flavor, I’ve been looking for something like it. A chewy, milky and caramelized sort of thing. When I saw this little package in Little Tokyo I thought I’d give it a go. It’s called simply Nama Carmel Gummy. I could palpate the pieces within the bag and could tell that they were firm but distinct pieces, like tiny little fleshy bricks.
It smells sweet and rather woodsy, like brown sugar and milk. The texture is soft and bouncy but quite firm. There’s a light dusting of what I’m guessing is corn starch, so they’re not shiny. Honestly, they don’t look like much, but they’re quite dreamy. Instead of being caramel flavored, they’re actually made with milk and cream ... that’s not zinc oxide making it look milky, it is milky. It’s a toasty flavor, not too sweet. The texture is bouncy and chewy more like a Haribo than a Trolli. They’re crazy good though I admit they’re strange. It’s really like eating something that’s a cross between butterscotch pudding and jello. I would definitely buy these again if I can find them. Of course I can’t find them online. Related Candies
