I wanted to end this year’s 31 Days of Sweet Rot with something special…something unique…something exotic. I think these fit the bill. Not just your typical Kit Kats, these tiny morsels of wafer-y chocolate were not only imported straight from Japan but they appear to be of the “bakeable” variety. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this […]

Candy corn flavored goodies seem to be in vogue this year and Hershey’s has jumped on the bandwagon with their own sugary spin. Comprised of a white candy corn crème with orange candy bits in them, these are somewhat reminiscent of the cookies-n-crème candy bars (one of my favorites). Opening the bag, the smell was […]

I’ll be upfront with you…I’m not terribly fond of the whole Pumpkin Spice craze and I’m certainly not big on anything “Pumpkin Pie flavored.” I do like almonds, though. That said, I honestly didn’t expect Brach’s Limited Edition Double Crunch Pumpkin Pie Almonds (trying saying that three times fast!) to do much to change my […]

[Editor’s Note: Today’s sweet rot submission is actually a guest post by strange kid, Eric Harrelson. Harrelson has also contributed to Blood Over Texas, Other Worlds Austin and The Movie Press.] Originally released in the 70’s I fondly remember these cereals as a child.

The flavor and texture is excellent and brings back memories of camping and late night marshmallow microwaving. These have […]

SweeTARTS Skulls and Bones taste like your standard SweeTARTS…so, sugary fruity awesomeness. The packaging coloration is the same as standard candy as well, pink and blue, but this time the candy is shaped like cute lil’ skulls and bones. The skulls appear to have noses for some reason and are happy and goofy looking. Maybe […]

Laffy Taffy has gotten on the pumpkin-flavored bandwagon and put out a seasonal product, Pumpkin Donut Laffy Taffy. The packaging was a bright almost OSHA orange shade, and the candy matched the packaging exactly. I gave it a shot and much to my dismay it tasted like how the inside of Yankee Candle store smells. […]

There has been a slew of strange limited edition flavored Oreos coming out, one of the more bizarre being Swedish Fish flavored. To that I say: just no, stop…some things were not meant to be messed with Nabisco. So with that atrocity on my mind I was hesitant to try the new Candy Corn flavored […]
