Kandy Kritique -- Rokeach Fruit Slices

Kosher-for-Passover candy has a reputation for being not the tastiest varieties of confectionery, but I like much of it just fine.
The Rokeach Fruit Slices are a glowing example of what Passover non-chocolate candy should be.
Pretty, colorful, thick crescent wedges made to look like a wedge of citrus fruit, with a crusty, sugary "rind," a white icinglike layer next, and then a soft, tender jelly-pectin-candy layer, all sanded with sugar crystals.
These heavenly half-moons were as delicious as they were pretty. They just sparkled with a bright, fruity flavor, and the chew was firm yet tender, with a slight crunch to them from the sugar sanding, and they don't stick to the teeth. Yummy all year round, whatever denomination you are.

Oh, yes . . .
THIS CANDY HAS BEEN RATED D (DIVINE)
