Blue Monday (Mint)

A variation on the Kentucky candy classic, the Blue Monday Mint bar is a  square of scrumptious mint-flavored cream candy that tastes like Oreo icing, an after dinner mint, and the center of a Peppermint Pattie combined, dunked in rich, flavorful dark chocolate.

This is a soft mint, not a harsh-tasting toothpastey mint, and the creaminess makes it delectable indeed, but the chocolate does dominate the mint somewhat, so I have to deduct a point from the rating for that

Still, quite an enjoyable confection and . . .

This candy has been rated IST (insanely tasty)

Blue Monday (Original)

A kentucky confection, this is a bar of white cream candy that tastes like and has the consistency of the icing in an Oreo cookie, coated in dark chocolate.

The chocolate is intense and flavorful, with coconut notes, but it does dominate the taste of the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth "icing" in the center. So, for that, I have to shave a point off the rating.

However, this bar is still a satisfying and delicious piece of confectionery, so

Mom Blakeman's Creamed Pull Candy (original)

      I have finally found my holy grail of confectionery. If you ate the frosting roses first off a cake at a birthday party as a kid -- or took them off and saved them for last -- this is the candy for you. If you ever ate frosting straight from the can -- or were tempted to do so -- this is the candy for you.
     Whitish bricks of yumminess that melt in the mouth with the richness of frosting and the lightness of mousse, these little delights are decadently craveworthy.
