Ludens Soothed My Sugar Tooth & Throat!

// January 24th, 2012 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Sugar Free

So isn’t it ironic that two days after initially filming the review, I’m sick with a cold and thank goodness that the Ludens Throat Drops arrived when they did!

Check out the video!!

So my nephew liked the Orange, but I haven’t tried any other flavor than Cherry and it is ADDICTING. Although my throat is bothering me, I’m popping Ludens like Skittles. This is what sets them apart from other throat drops.

Flavors include:

  • Wild Cherry
  • Wild Honey
  • Licorice
  • Sugar Free Wild Cherry
  • Orange

The newest flavor is the Orange in fact and the bag that I received is priced around $1.79 in stores. You can of course find them anywhere. Ludens has been around for over 130 years! I knew it was an old company but never imagined 130 years!!

Thanks so much for sending me a few to review. I’m sure with the change of the weather, I’m problematically sure to get sick again..

Jelly Belly Halloween Candy & Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Taste Test

// September 6th, 2011 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Halloween Candy, Jelly Beans



I have a freaky edition of Candy Tuesday today!! Enjoy

After the video, my family and I tried the Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Beans by Jelly Belly and let me tell you… it was an experience!! I’ve never tasted any candy so bad and so good ever!

Here the list of flavors in the “cute” Harry Potter Bertie Bott’s Beans with my comments

  • Banana – nice to wash the others down
  • Black Pepper – clearly tasted like black pepper and of course as a candy GROSS
  • Blueberry – nice like always
  • Booger – although I’m not a Booger expert, my brother said it tasted like the real thing!! GROSS
  • CandyFloss – nice flavor
  • Cherry – nice like always
  • Cinnamon – i don’t think my box contained cinnamon at least I didn’t taste it
  • Dirt – YUCK! I spit it right out
  • Earthworm – not a bad flavor
  • Earwax – it was good to wash down other flavors
  • Grass – wow… this tasted like the real thing
  • Green Apple – refreshing to eat this after the others
  • Marshmallow – not a very strong flavor
  • Rotten Egg – OH MY GOD.. DON’T TRY UNLESS YOU ARE BOLD!!! I SPIT IT OUT BEFORE IT HIT MY TONGUE. SMELLS HORRIBLE
  • Sausage – It tasted exactly as flavored — aiii
  • Lemon – again nice flavor
  • Soap – honestly it tasted like soap so after that disgusting Rotten Egg I washed my mouth right out
  • Tutti-Fruitti – Very nice! one of my favorites
  • Vomit – Seriously.. who even thought of this and test tasted the flavor.. I tasted verbatim exactly exactly like disgusting VOMIT.. I will never try again!!
  • Watermelon – GOOOD

Those flavors are incredibly exactly like the name. That is a great Halloween gift to give the kids. They can be purchased from JellyBelly.com, Amazon, Wal-Mart and of course your local CVS or Walgreens etc.

I’m BACK!!! With Carrots and Peas Jelly Belly’s!!

// August 18th, 2011 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Jelly Beans

Finally folks, I’m back for another yet great edition of Candy Tuesdays!! Please enjoy the video and make sure you get your hands on these! They were yummy!

You can buy these on JellyBelly.com by searching carrots! The bag is around $2.25 and the collector tin $5.50. I will keep it and add my own “veggie” candy or gumballs!

Here are some closer photos of the Jelly Belly Carrots and Peas Candy.

My nephew’s “only” words were, I want peas and carrots!!!

I love the spoon with the veggies on the bag!

Wonka Exceptional Fruit Marvels and Jellies

// April 23rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review

Ok!! Suprise, I received a package today with candy that I want to review for you! They were so good I couldn’t wait until Tuesday, and honestly this is well overdue anyway! Check it out.

As you saw from the video that I was surprised with the final taste of the Wonka Fruit Marvels! I thought it would take longer to get to the soft core center. I was delighted with the juicy flavor to be honest. The first moments the taste was almost null..Similar to jawbreakers.



The flavor I tried was Clementine Orange and other flavors include:

  • Grape Fruit
  • Goji Berry
  • White Grape
  • Pomegranate
  • Red Apple
  • Clement Orange

WONKA Fruit Jellies and WONKA Fruit Marvels debut exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide beginning in April 2010. So you’ve probably already seen them in the stores. If you have any doubt, DON’T they are good! They will also arrive in Target stores nationwide in June 2010.

The suggested prices of the WONKA Fruit Jellies and WONKA Fruit Marvels are:

$2.99 for each 5 oz. box, and $1.99 for each 1.9 oz. tin of Fruit Marvels. I love the packaging and colors.

Also, chocolate was sent however I did not get a chance to review. WONKA Exceptionals chocolate collection was created with as much attention to the taste inside as the presentation outside. The chocolate pieces are very rich in flavor,plus available in full-sized tablets and bags of individually-wrapped minis.

I hope you get a chance to try them!

My Chocomize Chocolates

// December 24th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Candy Video Review, chocolate candy

Happy New Years Eve!! Yesterday, I was very busy late minute shopping but I here is the full review of Chocomize from Candy Tuesday!

Below is a screenshot of my order if you’re interested. After testing all of the bars, for me the white chocolate topped it off. Of course, I’m biased to white chocolate because it’s my favorite. I specifically liked the mix of the butter pecan drops and the sprinkle of gold flakes! I was surprised by the good quality of chocolate. It was really soft and rich in flavor.

The concept of creating your own chocolate is awesome and I’m happy to see there is competition in this sector. Back a month ago I did a review of another chocolate creation company and how easy it is to order. With Chocomize is it just the same and it is made very fast! There are so many ways to use the Chocomize company: they are great for giving gifts, corporate gifts, wedding favors and even teams. Although I’m not the biggest chocolate freak, I love the concept and especially when the chocolate is as tasty as what I designed! I love saying that!!

chocomize

The only difference in ordering online using Chocomize and Chocri is that with Chocri I named my bars! That was fun and exciting! Valentines Day is right around the corner so imagine designing a chocolate bar with hearts and gold sprinkles?!

That you can’t buy in stores and created by you adds the special touch!
