Eat with your Eyes: Luden’s Cool Menthol
My day job has been kicking my butt for the last month and I’ve run out of time to write posts at the moment, so you’ll just have to look at something that I’ve been eating but probably won’t review. Early mornings, late nights, European kiss greetings to co-workers, coffee breath ... I’m eating cough drops. Enjoy this peek at the new packaging for Luden’s Cough Drops. I miss the old salmon orange box, but thankfully the menthol cough drops inside are just the same as I remember.

Eat with your Eyes: Hershey’s Luscious Pearls of Chocolate
They’re narrow tins that open like drawers. Inside are little spheres of chocolate. They call them Pearls. They’re not so different than the Godiva Pearls that are sold in the United States in much smaller tins. The chocolate actually seemed to be of higher quality than the ordinary Hershey’s bars, but that could just be the premium packaging. It’s a great way to portion just a little bit of chocolate and the tins are nicely reusable. They’re thick enough that I could put a few thumb drives in them, or a card reader for my camera and some extra flash memory. Or I suppose I could refill them with other edibles and stash it in my bag.
Another view of the Hershey’s Extra Creamy Pearls.

They’re each about the size of a fresh garden pea.
There was also a version of Hershey’s Special Dark Pearls, which I didn’t find as creamy as the milk chocolate version. I picked these up as samples at the ISM Cologne show last year. POSTED BY Cybele AT 6:23 am Candy • ISM Cologne • Highlight • Photography • Comments (0) Tuesday, April 24, 2012
Eat with your Eyes: Matthijs Liquorice & WinegumsMatthijs Liquorice is from The Netherlands and comes in an amazing array of shapes, flavors and sizes.
Animals, toys, fish, geometrics and even money.
A school of fish.
The Russian Matroesjkas were my favorite to look at. They also come in a combination version that’s half wine gum and half licorice. Their website has loads more. I’m not certain where to find them in the United States. From the sampling I tried, I’m more fond of their wine gum and cola flavored products than the licorice.

Eat with your Eyes: Apollo Strawberry
Little Meiji Apollo chocolates are little mountains with a base of milk chocolate and a snowcap of strawberry flavored white confection. They’re cute, like the tops of an edible crayon. POSTED BY Cybele AT 1:55 pm Candy • Highlight • Photography • Comments (4) Tuesday, January 10, 2012
Eat with your Eyes: Weihnachtskofekt
I missed reviewing this array of Niederegger Marzipan Weihnachtskofekt, special marzipan disks with seasonal flavors: Ingwer, Dattel-Honig & Arabisch-Mocca before Christmas. Suffice to say that they were fresh, nutty and delicious. POSTED BY Cybele AT 1:07 pm Candy • Christmas • Niederegger • Highlight • Photography • Comments (0) Thursday, January 05, 2012
Eat with your Eyes: SkittlesI picked up these Skittles in Germany. They might not have the wide variety of flavors we have in the States (though they can get the imports), European Skittles come in boxes.
Also, the purple Skittles are blackcurrant flavored, not grape. See my previous review of UK Skittles. POSTED BY Cybele AT 11:56 am Candy • Highlight • Photography • Comments (1) Sunday, December 25, 2011
Merry Christmas
Frohe Weihnachten Merry Christmas! Did you get something sweet as a gift this year? Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Eat with Your Eyes: Brandy Beans
I reviewed the manufacturer branded version of these a few years ago. Doulton Liqueur Chocolates (Cointreau & Teacher’s). Basically, they’re a good deal for three dollars. The quality of the candy is decent enough for Trader Joe’s but the packaging isn’t anything approaching exquisite. Caution: you can get a little buzz from them.
