Quickie Review: Cocomels

Cocomels Quickie Review - NY Fancy Food Show

Cocomels are absolutely amazing! They're rich, buttery, and decadent, which makes for a delicious candy, but as a caramel substitute, it's only accurate as far as the texturing is concerned. It's made from coconut milk, so there's no getting around this coconut flavoring, but for coconut lovers like me, that's not a problem! I love this stuff!

It tastes like a delicious coconut salt water taffy, but with a much softer and thinner texture. It's great for people with restrictive diets or allergies, because it's dairy free gluten free, vegan, and kosher. I have a great uncle who's lactose intolerant, and a cousin whose entire family are gluten free due to Celiac disease, and this stuff is so good that I'd buy it as a gift for everyone in my family regardless of restrictive diets or allergies. Instead of buying specialty products to single them out, this is a gourmet treat that my extended family will enjoy and if you like coconut, you might even like this more than real caramel.

Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt Chips - Target: Marlton, NJ

Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt Chips - Target: Marlton, NJ

That may have been one of the longest product titles I've ever typed.

I think most of you have caught onto this by now, but I'm a sucker for cheap products and saving money. Whenever I'm at Target I check out the clearance food, which is usually on an end-cap somewhere in the grocery section, to see if I can scoop up any awesome marked down items to review. Usually the end-caps are filled with random odds and ends, like flavored tomato sauces (which are somehow always there), seasonal candy, and flavored coffees, but every now and again I score something really awesome to review. Today's score are these chips that are fried using avocado oil, sounds pretty neat right? Let's check it out.

Seattle Chocolates Dark Salt Caramels - Target: Marlton, NJ

Seattle Chocolates Dark Salt Caramels - Target: Marlton, NJ

It's not Valentine's Day until I review something that comes in a heart shaped box. Actually, Valentine's Day isn't until Saturday, but I have something special planned for that day's post, and this week is pretty much Valentine's themed on Sometimes Foodie, so let's just go with it.

I finally have something new to review! Well, not really "new", but new to me. I've never had this brand before, and out of all the heart shaped boxes in the aisle, this is the one that appealed to me the most. (And yes, I am going to add that link everytime I type "heart shaped box.")

Okay, on to the review!

Must Chewing Gum in Orange & Banana - Wegman's: Cherry Hill, NJ

Here's a little box of Kosher chewing gum I picked up at Wegman's! I meant to post this during Passover, but Tuesday was the last day, so I'm a little late. (Although I haven't gone to sleep so it's still Tuesday to me. That counts right?)
