American Candy Take Two


Blogger Mail makes my day. I love coming in from school to see a box ready to open, it literally makes me so excited!

The lovely Fiona at Candy Hero sent me this massive box of sweets to try! It has taken me two weeks to get through to box but it did not disappoint!


Twizzlers were a no. It says strawberry but it does not taste like anything at all. I definitely wouldn't eat these again.


I was so apprehensive to try these because they didn't sound very nice, they don't smell great either. They actually tasted surprisingly good though. I wouldn't eat these that often but I would definitely buy them again.


This chocolate bar is actually from Finland but it is absolutely amazing. It's dark chocolate so if you don't like dark chocolate you probably won't like it but you are seriously missing out! The pieces of blueberry and raspberry in the bar are so nice, I was so sad when the bar was gone.


Laffy Taffy is so good! My favourite had to be Sour Apple, it wasn't sour but it was so tasty.


Whoever came up with the chocolate-peanut butter combo was a genius. Reese's peanut butter cups are so good! It's the perfect combination of salty and sweet.


It was super hard to differentiate between the flavours of these but every flavour was amazing. I loved the mango one, the fruity flavours were incredibly luscious and I need to find a shop over here that sells Mike & Ike!


Plopp, the name made me laugh too, is a Swedish caramel chocolate bar. I don't like caramel so I didn't like this bar.


Dots are gelatin free which is great if you are a vegan. They taste great and the only thing I can fault about these are that they stick to your teeth like glue. I had to brush my teeth straight after eating them!


Almond Joys are like Bountys but better.The coconut in it is much nicer and the almonds on top give the bar a great crunch.


Nerds are pure sugar but it's pure sugar that I love, You can buy them over here so I'm no stranger to them. I definitely prefer the strawberry to the grape flavour but they're both really tasty.


I cannot fault Swedish Fish one bit. I still can't place the flavour exactly but they're so amazing it doesn't matter!


Definitely better than the milk chocolate Hersheys bar. Dip this baby into tea and you're sorted, it's fab.


Fiona also sent me some of Candy Hero's cherry jellies and these guys are super fruity! I'd definitely add them into your bag if you're buying anything off the site!

American Candy Taste Test


The lovely people over at American Soda sent me some American candy to try during the week and you have no idea how excited I was when the box arrived. I got to choose what I was sent so I picked things I had never tried, besides the Hershey's bar because I am in love with it.

I've decided to put a twist on my first impressions of everything by describing it using emojis!


Apple's Smiling Face With Heart-Shaped Eyes
I have never loved sugar so much. If there's a blue raspberry option, I always go for it but America hits it on the nail with this flavour! Think 'wham' bars but chewy. 



Apple's Thinking Face
I don't know what to think about these guys. I love the green, orange and red ones but the blue and yellow ones aren't great. The blue ones disappointed me the most but the jelly baby-like texture kind of made up for the flavour. If it was just three flavours, I would love these but the blue and yellow jellies have really let me down.


Apple's Face Throwing a Kiss
Yes! I love trying new oreo flavours because we don't have a great selection in Ireland. I was completely torn between birthday cake oreos or heads and tails but I ended up going with these beauties! The flavour combination is so good! The only thing I didn't like was that it wasn't really 'double stuf'. Our double stuff oreos are actually double stuff so in that sense, I prefer the Irish ones. Based on flavour, heads and tails stole my heart!


Apple's Face Savouring Delicious Food
Although I can't place the exact flavour of Swedish Fish, I love them! The slightly harder outer shell is nice and the inside is chewy but not chewy enough to get stuck on your teeth! I wouldn't go as far as saying I prefer these over Haribos but they're a pretty close match!


Apple's Smiling Face With Open Mouth and Tightly-Closed Eyes
You can't go wrong with watermelon flavour anything. I can't fault this chewing gum at all. The flavour lasts for ages and it doesn't taste too artificial.


Apple's White Smiling Face
A lot of people don't like Hershey's but I love it. I think it tastes like M&Ms which are my favourite type of chocolate.  Love love love this bar dunked into tea!


Apple's Party PopperApple's Party PopperApple's Party Popper
I love the watermelon jellies you buy in sweet shops like Auntie Nellie's but Sour Patch Watermelon knocked the ball out of the park! I think I've eaten half the bag, that's how good they are! I definitely prefer these to Sour Patch Kids!

Delivery is super quick and they have a wide range of American products!
