I really like Hi-Chews these days. Good flavors, very chewy, good all-rounder.

Oh and since someone mentioned toasting marshmallows, the best way is to just barely roast it (without burning it or browning it too much) so the outer layer forms a kind of tasty crust while the inside is nice and gooey.

does violet crumble actually taste like violet? I got a box of spanish violet hard candies once that was really nice.

wrong, set it on fire immediately and then you have the bitter burnt part that balances out the sweet interior and it doesn't turn to mush as you're trying to eat it

Toasting peeps with a culinary torch is really nice. The sugar caramelizes and crisps up, and the bit of bitterness balances the cloying mallow.

Another one I forgot but not sure if I count it since it’s more of a treat that I get at a chocolate shop is something called seafoam. It’s actually just Violet Crumble that they make locally and it’s so good. If you have a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory near you swing by and get some. Also get their peanut butter buckets. It’s like a king size Reese’s but bigger, although smaller than the half pound Reese’s that they make

I opened a bag of haribo sour kicks z!ng yesterday. The shapes aren't that fun but they have a good sour wine gum flavour to them. Good way to get that more vinegary sour instead of the typical sour sugar coated gummies.

I made the mistake of telling a haribo fan that I have a weakness for sour candies, so they gifted me a bunch of different haribo sours.

Years back they had come out with these White Chocolate Candy Corn M&Ms. I imagine most people stayed away from them because of the flavor profile, but they were INCREDIBLE.

They tasted more like Buttercream than candy corn, we'd go through bags and bags of them, but they sadly no longer make them.

wait were snakes sour? I just remember them gummy and honestly a bit tough for my taste. I like the cherry gum gums though

I think that’s the gimmick. They’re twin snakes. Half are sour, half aren’t.

It’s been a minute I could be wrong but that’s what I remember.

Think a lot of people, especially in north america, associate sour gummies with the sour sugar coating so many of them have. Try a sour wine gum sometime.

The problem with those sour sugar coated gummies is they're far too addictive and I inevitably end up with a canker sore from eating too many of them. I've eaten far too many bags of cherry blasters and fuzzy peaches in my life

The peanut butter ones are still the best, but brownie ain't bad.
