Sour Electroshock Licorice

// October 14th, 2008 // No Comments » // International Candy, Licorice Candy

Today I have some international candy for Candy Tuesdays!! Right now I am visiting Spain and happened to get some goodies along the way. Enjoy the video!

As I said in the video, I normally do not eat licorice candy unless it has a fruity flavor such as these licorice straws with filling or without. The candy manufacturer is Fiesta and they do have a website in both English and Spanish. The Spanish candy website has most of the products which can be found at Fiesta.es. The English website (FiestaCandy.com) only seems to have chocolate rocks which is something very interesting.

The price for the package of four was 2 euros and as of today´s currency its $2.70. A bit expensive but it was well worth the taste. In most candy stores in Spain the licorice straws are popular and cost around 0.05 cents. However, the sour inside filling shocks is new and therefore priced more expensive than the rest.

The Sour Electroshock Flavors

  • Strawberry
  • Cola
  • Apple

The translation for licorice in Spanish is Regaliz! I hope you´ve learned something new in the world of international candy! Enjoy

Baskin Robbins Candy

// October 7th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // Candy Video Review, Taffy Candy, hard candy

Are you a fan of Baskin Robbins Ice cream? Today’s episode of Candy Tuesday I’m reviewing the soft and hard candy line from Baskin Robbins which they recently sent me. Check out the video below!

Baskin Robbins Soft Candy List

  • Mint Chocolate Chip
  • Very Berry Strawberry

Both are available Sugar Free using the sweetener Splenda.

Baskin Robbins Hard Candy List

  • Cookies N’ Cream
  • Pralines N’ Cream
  • Fruit Medley
  • Mint Chocolate Chip
  • Creamy Vanilla

The candy can be purchased throughout the states in most large grocery stores, Walmart and drug stores will likely have the soft and hard candy. The prices for the small box Very Berry Strawberry theater box that I tried retails at around $1.29 and the hard candy $1.99. You will be assured freshness and a great taste as they are wrapped individually! If you like any of the Baskin Robbins ice cream I’m 99% sure you’ll love the candy!
