Candy bar review
Monday, July 11th, 2005 01:48 pmI have now tried each of the two limited edition Almond Joy bars mentioned last week--Key Lime (with white chocolate coating) and Passion Fruit (with milk chocolate).
First: Both flavors are obviously survivable, no matter how scary they might sound.
Second: Neither candy has glow-in-the-dark colors, which comes almost as a disappointment. The color of the key lime coconut is pretty much coconut-colored; the passion fruit bar has yellowish coconut filling.
Third: If you were one of the people who thought the key lime flavor might taste good, but the passion fruit flavor sounded like something to avoid--you were right! I'd probably like the key lime Almond Joy better if it involved real chocolate rather than white "chocolate," but it's pleasantly sweetly lime-flavored. The passion fruit flavor, however, is likely to appeal to the sort of person who likes those funky "fruit" flavored candies in the Whitman's Samplers that everybody else avoids.
