So as I haven't been to America yet nor do I see myself going any time in the near future (because I can't afford it!) I decided to treat myself to a little bit of the USA by buying some American candy to try!
In today's post I'm going to share with you what candy I bought, and my tasting experience. Basically, I'm going to tell you whether I liked them or not. :)
Warheads Chewy Cubes"With a midly sour coating that's just right, and a sweet chewy center that's outta' sight"
I personally didn't find these sour at all. They are very soft so are easy to eat and they're not really too chewy. I really liked the taste of them! All in all, I would recommend these sweets to anyone.
War Heads Sour Jelly Beans"Artificial assorted fruit flavoured sour jelly beans"
Again, I did not find these at all sour. When you first take them out of the packet they don't look or feel like your traditional jelly bean. They feel quite hard where normal jelly beans are soft and squidgy. But when you put them into your mouth, they are actually really easy and soft to bite into. Same as before, I really liked these sweets and would buy them again!
Runts"Sugar coated fruit shaped candy. Naturally flavoured"
These tiny peices of candy are really cute! They are all shaped like the fruit the taste like e.g. Banana or Apple. They are quite hard and do make a loud crunch when you bite into them. I'm not actually quite sure if you're supposed to bite into them or suck them, but I just went straight in for the bite! Once you've bitten into them, you can really taste the flavour. And you can instantly tell what flavour they are! Not so much for people who don't like hard sweets that you have to crunch to eat, but for everybody else, I would recommend this candy. They're really tasty!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites"Bite size chocolate chip cookie dough bites with milk chocolate flavour coating"
If you're like me and love both chocolate AND cookie dough.. Then you will love these! They are chocolatey on the outside but soft and delicious on the inside! They are really good and I would definitely suggest trying these!
Nestle Butterfinger Bites"A flaky, crisp peanut butter flavoured center covered with caramel compound chocolate and toffee"
These are quite big. Well bigger than the cookie dough bites anyway. They are basically chocolate covered cornfalkes with peanut butter. The peanut butter in these is a very strong taste. I am not the biggest fan of peanut butter so unfortunately I was not the biggest fan of these. But if you like cornaflakes and you like peanut butter, then I'm sure you'll love them!
Reese's Peices
"Peanut butter candy center in a sugar candy shell"
To me, these were just like m&ms but with a hint of peanut butter. They look like little m&ms and have the same texture. I actually liked these, even though they have peanut butter in them, but like I said before, it's just a little hint of peanut butter so it's not overpowering. If you like m&ms, I'm sure you will like these!
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups"A milk chocolate cup confection made of chocolate coated peanut butter"
These were so cute! They were individually packaged, and they are in tiny, what look like to me, cupcake cases. At first sight, it just looks like chocolate, but when you bite into it, there is a soft peanut butter centre. Now you might be thinking 'Sophie, you said you didn't like peanut butter' .. I did. But just like the Reese's Peices, the peanut butter isn't too overpowering and so I actually didn't think they were too bad!
Twinkies "Golden sponge cake with creamy filling"
This is what I was most excited about trying. Everybody has heard of Twinkies and how amazing they are. Well to be completely honest, I was quite disappointed. To me, they were very plain and boring. With all the hype about them, I expected more. Don't get me wrong, they are not horrible, but they're not what I was expecting.

What's your favourite American Candy?
