those Willy Wonks hard candies that start out one flavor but as you suck on them turn into another

With every re-read, I am always struck by the Gobstopper-like feel of this book. You know, those Willy Wonka hard candies that start out one flavor but as you suck on them turn into another? This book is a bromance wrapped in adventure wrapped in comedy. The situations are fantastical, but the bonds are very real between the characters. I like to think of this book as what would happen if Dave Pilkey and Lemony Snicket had a love child who wrote an epic tale. We have the tickle of our funny bones and an author who breaks the fourth wall many a time, plus several tragedies packed in a grand journey... so maybe theres some Tolkien in there too? All in all, its a captivating story that I never tire of.

Candy outside is good.  Sucks (pun) that it has a sour candy center instead of hard candy all the way through.

Love these mini chews. I gave 3 stars because the second order I received had very hard pieces and diff shapes as if they had melted and reformed. These chews are so yummy, I just wish they weren't so hard when I received my order.

Ehh, I wouldn't buy from again. All of them were hard and out of the three pack there really was only one good flavor but again- it was so hard that you could really only suck on it.

These candies do not want to be called "Midgees."  They are "Little Candies."  Social responsibility now extends to candy.

Too much of the lesser candies that most people aren't fond of and not enough of the other ones.

Spicy coding with a sweet mango flavored hard candy. Honestly one of my favorite Mexican candies.

Crusty outer pastry yeilds to  smooth chocalate filling the instant you put one in your mouth. Get some in your belly now!

I got the teriyaki flavor and, while the flavor is good and the texture is also good once you get it into your mouth, it can be a mess getting it there.  As other reviewers have noted, this is not like your typical dry jerky.  It seems more like something that would be created by the company that makes SlimJims or something - it's moist and chewy.  The individual packets don't tear easily, either, despite being notched at the end.  You know how sometimes plastic can tear very cleanly, but sometimes it turns into a ragged edge and becomes a struggle?  That's what happens with these 8 times out of 10.  So if you're out and about (not near a sink) and you try to open it and the tear doesn't work perfectly, you potentially have liquid dripping out onto you, certainly on your fingers as you're trying to get the jerky out of the package and into your mouth.  And the liquid dries sticky.

Anyway, as I said, the flavor is good and I've now eaten most of mine, but I have taken to opening the package with scissors and eating them only at home so I can wash my hands afterward.

I've enjoyed these since junior high school when I would buy them for a nickel each at the gas station. It's the hottest candy I know of which keeps your mouth burning as it melts down to a hard sweet center.  If you take it from your mouth before it has melted down to a B-B size you are a wuss.

I just had some of these the other day that I bought from the store. They were soft and sweet. These ones not so much. They were harder, smaller, and the two flavors I tried left a weird after taste. I wish I could return them.

Edit: if I sit and binge eat them, I get used to the flavor.

Wish they were a bit more like caramel these are a hard candy with a teeny softness to them.

These are my favorite sour candies - the green ones are just absolutely delicious. Don't eat too many though, or it'll wreck your mouth up something fierce. I'm still working through this a couple months later. The only issue is that some of these were clearly older than others, you could tell by the way the packaging stuck to them and the taste in general. I wouldn't say it's a majority, but kind of what I expected at any rate.

These maple candies taste great when you're eating them. However, I gave it three starts due to the bad aftertaste. It made nice little candies that I could take with me for when I was in the mood for something sweet though. Overall, it was worth it for the price.

Ordered these after stumbling upon them here on amazon.  They have a very unique texture.  They feel hard on the outside but as soon as you put them in your mouth they easily chew.  Its interesting how they are hard to the touch but as easily chewy at the same time.  Mind you, they are fresh and mine says they expire at the end of this year.  The taste is a rich natural strawberry taste.  Unlike any other strawberry candy I have ever tried.  These aren't my favorite candy but I would certainly appreciate them every now and again.  Hopefully I can find them cheaper somewhere around my home.  Ill be trying more haribo sweets I cant get around here.

As for textures, try the haribo smurfs.  They are a dense gummy that has a melty-chewy texture.
