Kandy Kritique -- Ferrara Pan Milk Chocolate Almonds

Think of these candies as a classied-up version of Goobers.
Instead of a peanut, there is a crisp, toasty whole almond blanketed in a thick jacket of sweet, creamy milk chocolate. This chocolate cleaves off easily between the teeth, is rich-tasting with subtle coconut and vanilla notes, and it melts in the mouth and is not "waxy" like the chocolate coatings of similar candies.
An enjoyable, addictive, craveable confection that rates a solid D.

Kandy Kritique -- Dillon's Pecan Divinity

This is a candy of my childhood fantasies. Since I was a little girl, I always loved sweet gooey, fluffy frosting on cakes, and usually only ate cake because it was a socially acceptable way of consuming frosting. Now, imagine a candy that's a brick of slightly solidified cake frosting. Add some pecan pieces, and you have Dillon's Pecan Divinity, which lives up to its name. It is absolutely divine, Deliciously, delectably, decadently divine.
Bite into the soft, cream-colored square of supreme tastiness, and the whole frosting experience hits your mouth. The sweetness, the creaminess, the whole melt-in-your-mouth factor going on. It's frosting-in-a-can without the can.
The sweetness is tempered by the mellow, roasty taste and pleasing crunchy snap of the nut bits, which add maple notes to this piece. This is a craveable candy. I have seen it in individual squares, but this time, it only came in three-serving "rolls" or "bars." That's really going to test the ol' willpower. This candy is so yummy it should be outlawed.
I guess you can now figure out the ratings for this confection. This would be the first non-chocolate candy on this blog to get such a rating.

Kandy Kritique -- Ferrero Rocher

This is a candy with universal appeal. It's an elegant treat that a classy sophisticated adult would put out in a candy bowl when having company, an indulgent delight that a romantic soul would give his or her sweetheart, and an enjoyable confection a loving parent would present to his or her young child. It's a candy that can appeal to everyone.
The secret of the Rocher is the many strata of yumminess it possesses. A layer of crunchy, subtle hazelnuts, then a layer of rich, smooth milk chocolate, then a crisp, airy, pastry-like wafer, and then, finally, a silky chocolate paste delicately tinged with hazelnut. This is a candy that's equally at home at a swanky soiree or a kiddie birthday bash. Yep, it's a D-rating (my third since I started this blog)
