Kandy Kritique -- Rudy's Orange Slices

These candies are pretty to look at. Plump, bright orange-colored wedges resembling stylized citrus fruit segments. The wedges sparkle with a sanding of sugar crystals.
As for the Flavor Factor? These candies are as yummy as they are pretty. Soft, tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth, and the sugar grains add a nice crunchy contrast. These are strictly sweet candies, with no tart citrus zing whatsoever, more like sweet orange marmalade than like a fresh orange section. Lack of that fruity spark is what keeps me from rating these confections D, but they are great-tasting, by and large, and I think they deserve a rating of IST.
