forgive the lack of posts, i've been away for a few days visiting family... but i tried to keep up with the unending flow of new candy products while i was on vacation.

first up, Cookies and Creme Hershey's Kisses. alas, dear reader, don't be fooled! there are in fact no cookies in Cookies and Creme Hershey's Kisses. apparently their idea of a suitable cookie substitute comes in the form of crunchy little nonpareils. UNACCEPTABLE. the chocolate part of these Kisses is actually quite tasty, a nice buttery white confection with a good vanilla flavor and a little hit of salt. if only they bothered to add some real cookie bits, i would totally fall in love with these. i also noticed Vanilla Yogurt Creme Hershey's Kisses, but i didn't bother with those because yogurt and chocolate sounds completely repulsive to me.

i also had occasion to try the Wildly Cherry M&Ms. even though these have been getting pretty decent reviews elsewhere, i found the artificial flavoring to be unpleasantly reminiscent of cough syrup. i ate exactly three of these before giving the rest of the bag to my little brother (he liked them.)

so, there you have it. gluttonous candy consumption never takes vacation.
