Licorice Buttons remind me of one of those Fisher-Price Corn Poppers.

I picked up these little minted licorice pieces because of the box. They don’t look quite like I imagined from the image on the box. I thought they’d look like little cameos, the white portion was supposed to be a classic shape but none were formed well enough for me to figure out what they were.

When I reviewed the Pink Grapefruit Tic Tacs, the Mango Melon were mentioned. I love the look of them, the saffron yellow and green are a handsome couple. My box had perfectly aligned candies.

Chocked full of peanuts and a molasses chew, Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews really have no equal.

Check out the first “from the wild” review I’ve seen so far from Sugar Pressure.

I love Kopper’s Rum Cordials. There are lots of flavors, but I prefer the tried and true combination of rum and dark chocolate. The Kopper’s Absinthe Cordials are a little different because they have a crunchy candy shell in addition to the dark chocolate layer. A little too much sugar for me, but the absinthe flavor - a combination of anise, lavender and juniper in my opinion - makes for an interesting treat.

I can’t remember if I’ve shared this photo or not. This is a piece, because it’s milk chocolate, that I’d never had before last year. See’s calls it the Butterscotch Square. But it’s not square. They say that it’s Firm brown sugar, vanilla buttercream but it’s not a cream at all, it’s more of a grainy fudge type thing with lots of butter. It really is a pure blast of sugar.

A simple little enrobed piece, a patty of chocolate with some crispy pecans. Simple.
