Yorkie is Yucky
Thanks again to candyguru reader, nay – enthusiast, Craig (!) for providing review fodder in this…um very heavy bar to review. Not Greg Brady ‘heavy, man’, I mean this is easily the heaviest chocolate bar I’ve ever held in my hands. It’s 68 grams. Is that like 2 lbs? It says all over the package that it’s chunky milk chocolate. This isn’t like the “Chunky” of yesteryear. The big square bar that had raisins in it? I didn’t like those. Why ruin chocolate with raisins? Made no sense. Before I open the package I think these Yorkies are just plain milk chocolate.

Popcorn Induced Flashback
Remember those stores in the 80’s that sold nothing but flavored popcorn?  I’m not sure if they were country-wide, but I had one not far from my house.  Me, my brother and our friend Jamie would frequent the place…just about every weekend we could.  Jamie would head over the sweet side of the store, where they had every flavor from apple to raspberry to God knows what.  Me and my bro though, would always go to the other side of the store- the savory side. Delights like sour cream & onion and cheddar cheese were great-but the store also had oddities like bacon & cheese, jalapeno, ranch dressing, etc.

Soda Flavored Gummy Rolls – Haribo Style
A few months ago, we reviewed Haribo’s “Rotella” (check out the review here). They’re like stringy gummy candy, rolled up in the form of a wheel. The Rotella flavors were your garden variety Haribo fare- strawberry, lemon, orange, and apple, all excellent. Chewy, tough, full flavored with a bit of tang…a quality product. Enter…Haribo Cola Schnecken (best candy name ever, right? ) :
