Cybercandy Mystery Box

Cybercandy offers a great range of worldwide sweets and drinks, and I'd been debating buying some stuff off there for a while but every time I pick some stuff out it usually goes way over £20 for a few sweets. So, when I saw their mystery parcel section it tipped me over the edge and I had to order one. My mystery parcel was the "Cybercandy Bargain Mystery Parcel worth over £25" with £25 worth of sweets for £14.99. I also threw in some Tootsie Pop Drops and a York Peppermint Pattie which I'd tried before. 


My parcel arrived pretty quickly and I rushed home after work to tear it open in excitement. LO AND BEHOLD! 




I got a lot of AWESOME stuff. It was mostly American and I think I only had one thing that was Japanese but for £15 it's an impressive haul. I got: 
- 1x KitKat Chunky Cookies and Cream. (Absolutely amazing, really creamy with bits of Oreos inside.)
- 1x PB Twix (I couldn't eat this because of my nut allergy :c )
- 1x Dipdab (The same as the ones we get in the UK.)
- 1x Junior Mints. (Awesome. Like Mint Poppets but creamier and nicer.)
- 1x Strawberry Turkish Taff. (Not what I expected but really nice, soft and tasted like strawberry sweets.)
- 1x Liquorice Car. (I didn't eat it because I hate liquorice.)
- 1x Toffee Apple lollipop. (Very very sweet apple candy lollipop with toffee covering it.)
- 1x Apple Air Heads (Scarily green with a very strong apple flavouring.)
- 1x Goo Goo Cluster (Couldn't eat this but it was peanuts mixed up with chocolate and marshmellows, looked nice.)
- 4x Tootsie Pops. (Very sweet. Kinda hurts your teeth after a while but that tootsie center is delish.)
- 1x Tootsie Pop Drops (As above, but smaller and without the stick.)
- 1x box of Orange Airheads. (Not my kinda sweets, small orange flavour waxy balls.)
- 1x Cherry Ripe (LOVED IT. Like a Bounty bar but with cherry flavouring.)


Here's a few pics.




My lovely Cherry Ripe in its shiny packaging.




And after I'd taken a huge nom. It's literally like a thin Bounty with cherries. I need to get more of these. <3



Strange Hello Kitty sweets I left off the list because I don't know what they are. They're grape flavour tiny tiny balls, you bite into them and there's a strange popping sensation. It gets weirder because they taste more like white chocolate than grape. 


Eerily green Air Heads. 


Epic haul of sweets that lasted me a few days :D Go buy some!

Parrs Real Chocolate Apples

Jeez, it's been a while since I last posted.  I don't really remember how to work Blogspot lol. 


Parrs Real Chocolate Apples.


I'm not really a fan of the chocolate/candy/toffee apples you get around the end of October. Usually the apple on the inside is a weird shade of brown or the chocolate is just awful. The red candy ones are usually pretty good, but under all the sugar and pretty colours there's almost always a sad looking apple underneath. But, when I wandered around Tesco on my lunch break and I spotted these awesome looking apples I couldn't help myself. It was also a total bonus that they'd been reduced from £1.25 to 25p because they were a few days away from the display date.




Pretty, right? The white one looked perfect, but the milk chocolate one's icing was a little on the lame side unfortunately. I was really apprehensive about eating these just because they looked so nice, so I decided on eating the milk chocolate one first. They looked great on the outside, but what about the inside? 



Well, it was pretty good! The apple was nice and green (not that you can really tell in this picture). The chocolate was slightly reminiscent of cooking chocolate but it was still pretty tasty, the apple inside was still crunchy as it should have been. But, it was so huge I just couldn't eat all of it. I took a few determined bites, but it just wasn't happening, regardless of how yummy it was. And trust me, it was yummy.
