I'm a fan of Seneca Apple chips but I didn't like this flavor all that much. I usually go for Cinnamon but I decided to switch it up and give these a try. They weren't bad, just not my cup of tea, flavor wasn't prominent enough for me. If you want a sweet and crunchy snack but are concerned about your sugar intake these just may be for you, if you don't care about the sugar intake, you may wanna give these a pass and try the cinnamon ones.

What they are selling is "bitter sweet" chocolate.  Because latest health reports speak of the benefits of this 72 % cacao chocolate, I purchased it.  Whether or not I cancel future orders will depend on whether or not it adds significantly to my feeling better.  If I see no difference, I'll be putting a stop on my reorders....
Tried it another week and to me this is more medicine than candy.  I cancelled the order.  This was a strictly personal decision on my part.  If you're into health food it may be exactly what you're looking for.  So, try it and then decide.

The tins these mints come in are very cute. I enjoyed the flavors, I found them to be pleasant though they are unique. The flavors are mild but refreshing. The Green tea flavor is the most "mint-like." My favorite was the Lemongrass, which is flavorful and little bit peppy. I also enjoyed the Pear, but the flavor was so subtle and mild I took to chewing them which was a bad idea. Something about the Delicate Pear mints were addictive and while deeply engrossed on a project on the computer I must have eaten 15-20 mints, over the course of 2 hours. About 4 hours later I had painful cramping, gas, diarrhea. I didn't suspect the mint had anything to do with this, until I repeated the experience, a few days later and had identical symptoms. I stopped eating the mints and haven't had this problems since.

The two sweeteners for this product are Sorbitol and Xylitol. After some research it looks like the culprit for my stomach upset was likely Sorbitol. This sweeteners is used in many cough syrups and while eating 3 mints a day will probably not cause you any grief. In large enough quantities (many studies say 40 grams will cause this effect but in my case it was much, much less) Sorbitol is known to cause extreme gas, bloating and intestinal upset. Also a note to diabetics: Blindness and loss of extremities (usually feet) in diabetics is attributed to the body's build up of Sorbitol, which the body makes in very small quantities naturally and has difficulty flushing out. I do not have diabetes but I am somewhat chemically sensitive.

If a person eats 3 or 4 mints a day they are unlikely to develop any symptoms, but I am surprised that a company which seems to promote high consumer values and is a "natural" product, would use Sorbitol as a sweetener. The other sweetener Xylitol, after much testing and use, is not know to have any side effect. Xylitol is the principle sweetener used in chewing gum and many candies in Europe. There is even a dental treatment using Xylitol, as it is know to help the body dispel bacteria, including plaque.

This bar may well provide a bit of quick energy, but I found the taste achingly sweet. Too bad, because if it were a bit more tart and a lot less sweet,  it might be quite pleasant.

the gum flavor is good and spot on at first but afterwards all of the flavors end up tasting the same like an artificial sweetener taste. Also the gum is expensive and there is not a lot in a pack. Overall I think it is cool to try all the flavors for fun or give them as gifts or party favors, but this won't become my number one go-to gum.

I ordered these to hand them out for Halloween this year, so of course I had to sample some for myself.

The lollipops them self are good. In my opinion, they are very sweet and even though some people say they are small... I think they are just the right size for a quick sugar fix.

My problem, and I'm probably just nitpicking, is that the stick is so frail. By the end of sucking down a lollipop, the paper part that the stick is made out of would get wet and fall apart, and I'll end up eating some paper at the end. This happens every time.

Maybe, if I bite and chew the candy I wouldn't get to where the stick would fall apart... but I suck down and let it sit in my mouth while doing stuff, like playing video game, or watching TV, etc.

Other than that, the candies taste great... but I really wish the stick wouldn't tear apart every time, and I end up having to spit out the paper at the end.

The flavors in the bag is pretty evenly distributed. So far, I tried all the flavors, and they all taste great. I like the Mango, and the blueberry the most. I think I will keep some for myself and not give all of them away for Halloween.

Has something of an after taste, but it does sweeten as advertised.

Calorically good, too sweet, candy-ish for my taste. If you'd like a healthy, not too-fattening candy bar, this is for you.

There are a lot of very similar products out there, from Little Debbie and others. In general, these are the best of the bunch. Moister, sweeter, and more cinnamon. But that may or may not be true where you live. I spend part of the year in FL and part in KY. They're really good in KY, but not so much in FL, where they seem a little dry. Maybe it takes longer to go from bakery to stores there, I don't know. But they're good either place. I usually put a pat of butter on the top of one and nuke it for 7 or 8 seconds. The nice thing is that they have only 16 carbs, and as a Type II diabetic, I'm allowed up to 15 for snacks. I figure the 1 extra carb won't have any effect, and my glucose testing shows that to be true. The grandkids love 'em, too.

could actually be less sweet be OK.  stuff I do like for not being over sweet does not stay in the market long  I guess we collectively really do have quite the sweet tooth.  Will be more crumbs and less clumps by bottom of box - always.  Still good.

Tried to save a few dollars by buying this one instead of my usual fave.  Instant regret.

The protein itself seems to be decent enough, and it's a nice smooth texture.  It's the taste that gets me.  Waaaaaay too much fake sweet taste.  I've had others that use sucralose that don't taste this funky.  I'm not sure if it's their flavoring itself or the sweetener, but GAG!  I'll definitely be going back to BSN products.

Good but lacks the ginger bite. It's very sugary. Super sugary. Tastes more like sweet chewy candy than candied ginger. I wanted this because I had tried another candied ginger but this was a better value. While cheaper, the product loses the essence of being ginger

Nice flavor, but candy is on the hard side - ruins the experience.

If you are craving sweets then perhaps there is a point to these.  I felt I wasted caloric allowance on them because they were dry and lacked the depth of chocolate I was craving.  They did not taste as good as the picture promised. Three stars because maybe this is as good as it can get for gluten free, creme filled chocolate cookies.

So, I liked this candy.
I wanted sugar free to stay away from the calories and avoid sugar on my teeth.  I love Russells sugar free chocolate toffee and caramel but need to stay away from anything too crazy and wanted the licorice.  At first bite, these tasted funny.  But after about 6, I liked them. They did not take long to get used to.  They are sticky and chewy.  I wouldn't really consider them much more sticky and chewy than a normal gummy bear that isn't sugar free, or a Rollo with caramel.  Unfortunately I did eat about 40 the first day they arrived and my intestines really felt it- similar to a all juice diet for 30 days.  I had to look up side effects of Maltitol to realize that eating 40 bears in one day is not a great idea. Now Im going to stick to under 10 since the web states that it bypasses the initial steps in digestion (similarly to fiber).
The package arrived one or two days before everything else that I had ordered from amazon, so I was surprised about that.  It was speedy.
I was a little disappointed with the label.  I don't think it is that hard to put the nutrition information on the back.  I.e. calories, serving size, and ingredients.  I had to come back to amazon to look at the ingredients.  I couldn't find it on the Casey Ann listing, but it was on other Gerrit Verburg candy listings, so I will probably never buy any more candy from Casey Ann's Candies if they are not going to have labels.  According to the other listings the ingredients 'Might' be; Maltitol (Sweetener), Starch Modified, Licorice Extract, Natural Flavors, Glazing Agents: Vegetable Oil and Beeswax. May Contain: Tree Nuts, Milk, and Soy

Good luck candy hunting.

I think I am the first purchaser of the candy. Needless to say, I was hopeful but disappointed. The fact is that I am a fan of dark chocolate plus a fan of pecans. For some reason, they are very difficult to find together. Based on the way my order was packed, newspaper in a box, I am inclined to think they are a small, in not new company, which I have no problem with either. Hopefully, they will figure out the importance of shipping presentation. The pro is  that you get a nice box for the purchase. The con is that the flavor was unremarkable, nothing to leave a lasting memory. In fact, I never finished the box, which might have had 12 pieces. Again, my hope is that this like a new restaurant that opens with a promising menu and they need time to work the bugs out, I might give them another chance.

My wife and I have been drinking various Celestial Seasonings teas for a long time, and have always found them to be excellent, flavorful blends. There is also a sense that the company's philosophy -- natural ingredients, healthy teas, sustainability, etc. -- gives consumers confidence that  consuming Celestial Seasonings products will always be a satisfying and wholesome experience.

That's how we felt... until today.

A few days ago, I bought a new type of Celestial Seasonings tea -- "Sweet Harvest Pumpkin" -- which I'd seen on display at the local Big Y supermarket. Knowing my wife has a liking for things pumpkin, I bought some. (I don't drink caffeinated tea anymore, so I wasn't going to try it.)

Today my wife told me about the odd taste left in her mouth after she'd had a cup of the tea -- she said her mouth felt "puckery" after drinking it, and there was an unpleasant aftertaste which lingered even after she brushed her teeth. This experience prompted her to look at the list of ingredients on the box of tea... and to her surprise and dismay, she saw that one of the ingredients was "stevia extract".

Stevia is a so-called "natural sweetener" derived from the Stevia plant. Here's what Wikipedia had to say about that plant:

"The species Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations."

I've tried a couple of drinks sweetened with Stevia... and I think they're vile. Worse than stuff sweetened with Saccharin or Aspartame, in my opinion... and they're pretty bad. That Celestial Seasonings could think it was a good idea to put this wretched crap into their tea... well, it just boggles the mind. Not only that, they don't warn you that this junk is in the tea -- you have to read the fine print, and that's something I never expected to have to do with the products of this once-excellent company.

As someone who gave up adding sweetener of any kind to his tea many years ago, I find it extremely offensive that Celestial Seasonings has taken it upon themselves to sweeten their teas for us, especially with something as loathsome as Stevia. Really... do we need this? I don't think so. -- PL
