Candy Corn: The name is perfectly alliterative. Candy Corn texture is ideal on the fresh ones, and only slightly less ideal as they get older, and harder. The flavor doesn’t remind anyone of anything. They are sweet, unique, goodness. The shape is also unique. Because of the shape, candy corns are a must for making yourself look like a colorful vampire or werewolf, or decorating a gingerbread house.
Candy Cigarettes: (Crime edition) Also alliterative, these have a nasty reputation for being a gateway drug. They might persuade you to think you’re cooler than those actors in the old-time, gritty detective shows. Only if you’re an impressionable young thing, of course. Otherwise you’re only going to chew them up, and if you do, you’re going to find them dull. They have a flavor and texture like conversation hearts.
Gummi Bears: These have different flavors. You’re sure to find a favorite flavor and color. They are basically like the hardened skin off a tub of Jello, which is honestly, lots of fun. One mischievous side effect is that if you lick the flat side of the bear, you can stick the bear to a window, or your friend’s forehead.
Cinnamon Bears: With a texture more sticky than a gummi, cinnamon bears are the kind of candy you will enjoy if you are fond of using your tongue to dislodge the between your teeth leftovers.
Swedish Fish: These are cinnamon bears with a different shape and flavor. Or possibly you could say the reverse is true. If you didn’t like the flavor of cinnamon, then Swedish Fish might be an ideal alternative to Cinnamon Bears.
Candy Necklace: Although I don’t much enjoy wearing my own saliva, the flavor of these is excellent. The ‘beads’ are like Smarties if Smarties had a hole in the middle, and the idea is that you wear it so you can crunch the beads off one by one. It’s a little weird that as you crunch the beads, the necklace starts to get tighter. Other than that strange sensation, the Candy Necklace is a novel arrangement.
Candy Bracelet: Same as a Candy Necklace, only smaller. Do not mistake this for a necklace.
Whoppers: Chocolate-coated malted milk balls. These are as fun to roll around as they are to eat.
Milk Duds: Chocolate-coated caramel. Not as spherical as Whoppers, Milk Duds don’t roll so well. The fun way to eat these is to suck all the chocolate off. What you do with the center is up to you.
Butterfinger: Chocolate-coated butterbrittle. Or is it chocolate-coated butterbrick? Butterfingers can be a tasty treat, but you have to be in the mood for biting into the hardest food in existence.
