Candy bar review

[hummingwolf]

I 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.

Your prize: You live a happy life in which you don't have to try to find a way to get that taste out of your mouth! That's a prize you should be thrilled about, trust me. :-P

Heh. White chocolate isn't bad, really, as long as you aren't expecting to get actual chocolate out of the deal. Even with white chocolate, the key lime flavor is much to be preferred to the passionfruit.
