My Forking Review of the Carrot Cake Hershey’s Kisses

IMG_1968

The Carrot Cake Hershey Kisses are only sold at Walmart stores. I thought this seemed like an interesting flavor of candy as it’s something that I think was never done before.

I found that when you chomp them down you get way more of the sweetness.  This candy runs on the sweet side for candy. I think the candy kind of taste best this way when you just eat it. However you can experience much more complexity if you let the candy melt in your mouth.

To me this candy kind of  taste like you scraped out a spoonful of carrot cake frosting with some of the cake in your frosting followed with a chemical aftertaste when you just eat them.

When you let it just melt in your mouth there is more of a show and the flavors that come to you in layers.

I was hoping to start with a hint of buttery carrot taste that I didn’t get. Instead I just got sweetness that tasted like lower quality white coating of some sort. Then an unpleasant  gritty texture came to my mouth. Suddenly a taste came that was something that reminded me of my childhood…..forking Play Doh-

(a child’s modeling clay) No I never ate Play Doh but I still remember the scent of white Play Doh and that’s what I got in my mouth. Soon the taste changes again and I could taste something that tasted like cream cheese frosting and next came an almost realistic kind of tang like from cream cheese.  Some spices followed that seem a little gingery and lastly I get a bang of a possible raisin or raisin like flavor. Sadly the finish leaves my mouth with that darn chemical aftertaste.

Almost  good!

Rated 1/2 a Fork because it's a mix of good and not so good

To each his own. This is only my forking opinion and your forking opinion may differ.
