The flavor and texture is excellent and brings back memories of camping and late night marshmallow microwaving. These have the crisps on the inside with a thin ring of chocolate surrounding it like so much tasty mantle. Somehow the chocolate manages to taste like marshmallow and even leaves that odd, slightly acidic aftertaste you get from eating a toasted marshmallow. It is downright black magic my friends.
The shape of the candy is a little inconsistent, like the peanut M&Ms. The colors are a darker more autumnal take on the red, orange, and yellow, trading them out for a brick, rust orange, and mustard yellow. As for the packaging, I don’t think a candy mascot has ever made me blush or feel as uncomfortable as Red made me feel eating these. His expression just screams “Hey girl….wanna eat my candy?” And the answer, is “Yes. Yes I do Red, you smug bastard.”
I give these 5 out of 5 Snack-o-lanterns.
