So, Nestle was kind enough to send me a bunch of holiday-themed chocolate and candy treats to review. Was there any doubt whatsoever that I would agree to the review? NO. They sent me chocolate, thereby cracking the code to get me to do most things ;-)
I assembled the treats in a basket of mine because I thought it made the selection look more festive. It also made me think that it might actually be pretty fun to give a friend big pile of chocolate in a gift basket, especially since I am so easily swayed by treats ;-) (Not this basket of treats though-this one is allllll mine ;-).
16 oz. Nestle Crunch Bar:
Eeeep! Why is this SO exciting? I do not know. I feel I love this for less than practical reasons. The kid in me is screaming, "IT IS A GIANT BAR OF CHOCOLATE!" 'Nuff said.
Assorted Mini Candy Bars (Nestle Crunch, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger):
These are your standard mini candy bars, dressed up for the holidays. I like the candy included in the selection, and I can assure you they will not last long in my house ;-)
Wonka Spree Candy Cane: I have always liked the whole idea of candy canes tubes full of little candies. I like Spree candy okay, and the packaging is very happy looking. I always think about re-purposing the candy cane containers, but could never come up with a good idea for it.
Everlasting Gobstopper Candy Canes
Well, I have never been a fan of traditional candy canes but I really like how they look for decorating. I would have liked the appearance of these canes a lot more if they were striped. Even though they are seasonal colors their overall appearance is not all that fun. Plus, plain green does not look good on a Christmas tree. I confess to being curious about how it "changes colors and flavors" as it states on the box. Finding out what that meant also seemed to involve a commitment in licking it for a while. The gobstopper canes were way too sweet for my taste, did not have much of a flavor beyond "fruity", and did not seem to change flavors as promised.
For the Love of Nerds Gotta Have Grape and Seriously Strawberry
Holiday Assortment
I have always been sort of meh about Nerds on their
own, but the packaging is pretty cute and I will eat them (after all of
the chocolate is gone ;-)
Holiday Nerds Rope
This
is actually really fun. It is a "soft gummy rope with tiny tangy
crunchy Nerds candy." The Nerds on the rope are red, green, and white.
This treat is really cute, tastes pretty darn good, and makes me want
to make little wreaths out of it :-)
