When I open a bag of Gummi Bears I take a moment and just smell them before I actually eat them. The smell is so sweet I just can’t wait to eat them, but actually I do one more thing. I’ll take them all out and place them on top of the bag to pick out which flavors I eat first. Gummi Bears are a true reminder of my childhood because I remember always sneaking in a little pack while my mom was shopping for groceries. Luckily for me she, when she saw them she would just look down at me and smile, and would buy them for me. The reason she gave me was because she knew it contained fruit juice, but I knew that it was because I would always give her all my orange ones. They are just so delicious and sweet, nobody can resist them. In each package of Gummi Bears come five different flavors; strawberry, lemon, lime, orange, and pineapple. They each have their unique and delicious taste.
“I like playing with them and doing the story of the three little bears,” said Zadah a young girl who loves being creative. The littlen bears are not only the tastiest gummy candy ever, but they are also adorable. There are types of gummy candy, but the original will always be the bear.
Topps Candy Company have created many fabulous candies, one of the greatest is the Push Pop. Recently they have put many twists on the infamous Push Pop, such as the new Pop Up Action, which allows for easier candy consumption. That’s not all they have done though, they have also combined two flavors together, creating the Twisted Push Pop. It is so much better because it has two great flavors that complement each other so well. One of my favorite twisted flavors is the blue raspberry and watermelon. I just think they go together remarkably. There are many other flavors like Strawberry Watermelon, Berry Blast, Raspberry Lemonade, and Rainbow Sherbet. They are all the perfect twist to the perfect candy. The thing I love most about push pops is that you can just push it down and save it for later. I think they are better than lollipops because they are easy to store, but for lollipops you have to either throw it away or finish it. Push Pops are just so unique, and they taste wonderful.
Many kids love this candy not only for its unique style but because it tastes great. “It’s kind of like having a sweet blend of sweet and sour candy, making it pretty much the best hard candy ever,” says Ryan after tasting the blue raspberry watermelon flavor. This is one of the best creations ever, its twisted fun.
It’s very hard to find good sour candy these days, but luckily for those who love both sour and sweet candy there is now a solution. Shockers have this unique taste because at the first instant, when you put it in your mouth it tastes sour and shocking, but then it turns a little sweet. What I like to do is just suck on the candy until all the sour taste has died down, and then I chew on the remaining candy, which is deliciously sweet. They are very chewy, yet they don’t stick to your teeth.
Another great thing about shockers is that they package is a long tube that you just unwrap and pop in whatever flavor comes out. I kind of find it suspenseful, because I never know which is going to be the last flavor. Hopefully it will end up being green apple because that is my favorite. I personally think it is the sourest one and I love how it just holds the sour flavor longer than the others.
“Every flavor is super sour, but still different, and that’s what makes shockers my favorite candy,” says Whitney a sour candy connoisseur. Indeed all the flavors are uniquely wonderful. Orange has just this citric taste that makes my mouth tingle with joy. Cherry may not taste exactly like a cherry, but it sure does burst in my mouth. Blue raspberry has this way of just melting into the sweet candy, and eventually melting away. Grape is unfortunately kind of rare in some rolls making it a bit more enjoyable to eat. Green apple is tremendously sour and I just love that. Luckily for me that was the last one!

Coconut, almonds and milk chocolate; that just might be the best chocolate combination ever. Hershey’s took that idea and created the Almond Joy in 1946 and it is a wonderful creation. Although it was Peter Paul who originally made Almond Joy, they merged with Hershey’s and the ideas kept coming. But the Almond Joy, although it was not the original, will always be the best for me. It just takes me away from all my troubles and kind of loosens me up. I think the best way to eat an Almond Joy is to cherish every detail. First I like to eat the almond, and then just let the coconut and chocolate blend together and lastly let it melt away. That way I get to enjoy every precious property of the candy bar.
Another great aspect of Almond Joy is the fact that they come with two large individual candies that have two separate almonds in them. I love that because I can buy one and split it between me and my sister easily. We both get a large, satisfying candy, without having to buy two. Of course we usually end up going back and getting another one! Almond
Joys are really a joy to eat.
Skittles has some of the best ideas for candy ever, and they always seem to turn out fantastic. Xtreme Fruit Skittles bubble gum is no exception. The flavors are truly extreme, and they just burst in your mouth. Unlike regular Skittles this candy will last longer because it’s a gum. The best part about the new Skittles bubble gum is that the flavors go together incredibly well. I can pop in a tangerine and a blue raspberry at the same time and the flavor tastes even better.
“My favorite combination would have to be green apple and tangerine because they are both sour, and they compliment each other very well,” comments Natalie. “I usually don’t pick out the favors I prefer to just open the cool box and pop in several and see if I can guess what I got,” adds the frequent gum chewer, Pablo. The box is indeed easy and unlike any other. It keeps the gum safe inside, along with the wonderful flavors, while is still easy to open.
The pieces are nice and small so that it isn’t at all bad to have ten at the same time. I personally like to start off with one small piece of gum, and then as it starts to lose its flavor I take another one and just keep adding until I have just the perfect sized gum to make the perfect sized bubble. Skittles has truly outdone itself by creating this new masterpiece that is delicious, long lasting, and easy to open and close.
Caramel comes in many shapes and sizes, but Werther’s Original’s hard caramel is the best and long time original. This caramel is like no other because it has the simplest ingredients that make it naturally sweet. The caramels have been made for over 100 years and the taste still remains the same.
Unlike other chewy candy the hard caramels don’t get stuck in your teeth and they’re easy to just pop in during a hard days work. Werther’s Original is extraordinarily creamy, which also makes it the perfect dessert. “I don’t know anyone that can turn down a Werther’s Original. I keep a bag of the hard candy in my desk drawer at work so that I could just get lost in its creamy goodness whenever I want,” says Shiela, a hard working mom and teacher.
The world agrees that this is indeed the best caramel ever. The candy originated in a small town called Werther, by a candy maker named Gustav Nebel. His genius work provides the people of today with what is known as the World’s Favorite Caramel.
Lipstick is a main part of many women’s lives because it is usually in most of their morning routines. Unfortunately it tastes awful and will keep you from licking your lips throughout the day. That’s certainly not the case for the yummy Candy Lipstick. This candy is known as another original, manufactured by Ce De Candy. It tastes wonderful and will make you lick your lips.
This candy comes in this cute little tube that’s small enough for a little girl to carry around in her pocket or purse. It’s also easy to save, just incase you don’t finish it in one sitting. The two most popular flavors are the cherry and strawberry, which is no surprise because they are the ones that most look like lipstick.
“It’s really tasty and makes me feel very womanly,” says Jesse a little girl that loves the candy. Ce De Candy manages to take a daily thing and turn it into a sweet candy that everyone can enjoy. The cherry flavor is just a bit sour, but not too much, while the strawberry is just remarkably sweet.
Candy Lipstick is with out a doubt a very interesting candy that comes in many assorted flavors, but the best and most popular are the ones that seem most real, red and pink. It becomes, for some girls a daily routine, after lunch that is.
Cherry, licorice, lemon…Those are just a few of the flavors you’ll find in a box of Jujyfruits, the chewy fruity candy. But be careful! Leave the box sitting for too long, and the candy will become hard and difficult to chew. It might be hard to let the box sit—Jujyfruits are so enticing, you’ll probably finish the box in just a few minutes!
Like Dots, except smaller and chewier, Jujyfruits will leave you satisfied when you’re done. They’re perfect for the movies because they’re quiet and won’t crunch. They’re perfect pretty much anywhere, anytime! The best thing about these is the assortment of flavors. Don’t you ever get sick of candy that gives you just a couple of your favorite, and more of your least? Well Jujyfruits have the perfect combination of each flavor, leaving both the lime-lover and orange-aficionado in bliss. Jujyfruits come in fun shapes, including miniature fish and petit flowers. Open up a box of these, and you’ll be sure to be pleased!
Wonka has never failed when it comes to candy, and Nerds are no exception. Nerds come in small boxes with two flavors – ideal for those who have trouble picking between such great choices. The box claims that Nerds are tiny, tangy, crunchy candy, and they certainly live up to that.
“Nerds have an addicting, fun to eat flavor and they come in box that never seems to empty”, says David. Aileen says, “Nerds are multi-colored blobs of sweetness.”
The best part about nerds is the dual flavor box. You can mix up both your flavors, and have grapes and strawberries, or you can split the pack with a friend if you’re not a big fan of both. Nerds not only come in different flavors, but in different varieties, ranging from Rainbow Nerds to Nerds Rope! All of these are amazing, and will leave you more than satisfied when you’ve finished.
Chocolate is one of the best candies ever, and when it is mixed with peppermint it makes it an even more perfect blend. York Peppermint Pattie is an example of this perfect combination. The chocolate patty is a wonderful, on the go candy that is not only delicious, but it is also healthier than most other candies. It is very low in fat, and contains no cholesterol. York Peppermint Pattie is extremely fluffy and light for a nice snack at school or in the middle of work.
“Its outer chocolate compliments the peppermint inside so excellent that it just makes it the best dessert after lunch,” said an elderly chocolate lover.
“The only thing bad about this candy is that it doesn’t come any bigger,” a young child of seven said after trying the candy. Many people, of all ages, can’t resist this candy, not only because it is good for you, but because it is one of the best chocolate snacks. On the cover of every York Pattie is their ever famous slogan “Get the Sensation,” and the sensation is one of the greatest ever. The candy is made by the ever popular Hershey, assuring that the outer chocolate layer will be some of the finest chocolate ever. Unlike many other candies that have changed over time, the York patty is made the same way it was sixty years ago. This old recipe has remained the same, and will hopefully always stay the same because it is truly a favored candy among all ages. York Peppermint Pattie is one of the best blends of superior chocolate, fluffy, yummy peppermint center, and will hopefully always stay that way.
