Happy Valentine's Day everyone! (At the stroke of midnight, be sure to run out there and scoop up all the clearance candy!)
To celebrate this day of candy consumption (and love), I've doubled down on the content. I'll be reviewing the candy as well as the recipe for lava cakes included on the bag. Will this post end up being twice as nice? Or double the disappointment?
It's just another minty Monday...
Hershey's Layer Crunch bars have been out for a while and even though they're a new product, they're not very innovative. All three of the flavors are safe bets. Chocolate and vanilla? Classic. Chocolate and caramel? Been there, done that. Chocolate mint? The Girl Scouts called, they want their cookie back.
So yeah, these are new, but they're not new-new.
Even so, this candy bar sounded delicious, so I grabbed one at Walmart to munch on. I don't think there is any way for this product to be a failure, but you never know...
Back in June of 2016 I reviewed the Reese's version of this snack Mix and now, EIGHT months later, I've finally gotten around to the Hershey's version. (At this rate I'll review the other candy-bar-themed mixes within the next 5 years.) Anyway, when I reviewed the Reese's version I wasn't sure if I'd ever buy it again and nearly a year later, and I haven't!
Maybe the Hershey's version will be a better flavor for me. Let's hope so, because I foolishly bought a big ol' box of this from BJ's because I had a coupon. (And I'm a sucker for a bargain.)
Another semi-pointless seasonal post. These are normal milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses in fancy Halloween themed foils, so they don't taste any different than their all-year-round offerings...but these FOILS THO'!
I just couldn't resist them, they're shiny, they've got Halloween Patterns all over them, and the colors look absolutely GORGEOUS in my candy dish. I just couldn't let these ghastly-ghoulish wrappers slip through my foodie fingertips. They NEEDED to be photographed, even if the contents aren't all that special.
After consuming their chocolate-y insides, I find myself smoothing out each foil perfectly flat with a bone folder (sounds spooky, but it's just a smooth plastic tool that helps with folding paper) and I plan on turning a few of these into some fun up-cycled pinback buttons for my Etsy shop and Halloween giveaway!
Tonight, on my way home from work, I'll be stopping at Target to pick up another bag (hopefully on clearance), so if you're like me and you love bargain shopping and spooky sweets, I recommend grabbing a bag or two for yourself! (Christmas is going to have to pry Halloween out of my sticky candy-coated-hands!)
