Kandy Kritique -- Baskin Robbins soft candy

I remember when I was a tiny little youngster, there used to be a chewing gum flavored like ice cream. I was entranced with this sweet, offbeat delight and used to wish actual candy was flavored in this manner. Now, the time has come.
These individually wrapped morsels deliver ice-cream taste without the "melt" factor. Very yummy indeed.
VERY BERRY STRAWBERRY -- A strawberries and cream taste, mellow and rich with a zing of fruitiness
MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP -- A wave of chocolate accented with a fresh spark of mint.
These are rich-tasting, satisfying candies, but there is a slight graininess to the chew that prevents them from warranting a rating of D or IST. They are quite tasty though, so, they rate a QT

This candy has been rated QT (Quite Tasty)

Kandy Kritique -- Werther's Original Caramels

Part of the enjoyment factor for these candies is the fact that they are chewy like gum but can be swallowed and don't lose their taste -- and what a taste it is.
These sticky little candy cubes boast a rich, mellow flavor with milky, buttery and burnt-sugar notes.
They lacked a little spark of salt to balance out all that sweetness, which is what keeps them from being rated a D, but they certainly are yummy and rate an IST.
