Another season, another batch of odd flavored classic candies to try. There is just so much candy and so little time. So once again, the ladies of HCWM decided to try the weirdest ones out there so you wouldn’t have to!

Sarah
- “It smells like cream cheese frosting.”
- “It’s a pale orange, like the color of a nose on a candy snowman.”
Phoebe
- “I was not expecting it to be orange.”
Final Verdict
- It wasn’t bad. It had a white chocolate shell with an artificial cream cheese filling.
- We could definitely eat a couple, but not the whole bag.
- They are very rich, so you only need a few. For reference, nine is a serving, but that would be way too many.
Concluding Thoughts:
It’s cool to branch out once in awhile, but we recommend sticking to the classics.
