My FORKING Thoughts on Dunkin’ Chocolates Jelly Donut Candy – Just SWEET – Maybe POWDERED Doughnuts

I noticed lately that there is a new trend of things that are not doughnuts that are “Doughnut Flavored.” I didn’t know until I purchased this candy that there are other Dunkin’ Chocolate Candies out there. I saw this one and I decided to give it a try even after reading the ingredients.

It’s made in Poland….

I open it up.

Darn! The one side is damaged and doesn’t come out so I take the other one.

My one dog thinks it smells good. The other dog is uninterested in it. I don’t give them any because this might be harmful to dogs.

I bite into it……It’s so sweet that it is almost hard to taste. I do taste raspberry and what seems like extra sweet white chocolate….I do not really get doughnut here………But I can imagine LOTS OF POWDERED SUGAR……..Maybe this can pass as POWDERED Jelly Doughnut?………I am undecided if I will eat the second one tomorrow……latter I threw the rest out.

Those were my FORKING thoughts on Dunkin’ Chocolates Jelly Donut.

WTFork happened to Milk Chocolate M&M’s? They’re Smaller

I haven’t bought a bag of plain M&M’s in a long time until today…..I tried a few and instantly I noticed a difference………They don’t feel or taste the same in my mouth……..I know they are smaller…….I noticed less chocolate when I suck the shells off. Also the ratio is different………Less chocolate makes them seem more sweet and less chocolatey. Then I let my husband try some. He said, “are these the tiny ones?”…..WTFork! Then I went to the internet and found this from wwwFasioncoached.com.

I also found this.

In May 2014 I noticed a few changes in Peanut M&M’s and so far 16 wrote to me and agreed.

This is my May 2014 photo of Peanut M&M’s (above and below)

I happened to pick of some peanut M&M’s recently. Let’s see if they are similar to the 2014 ones. (the photo below)

You know…I think they are even slightly smaller than before……

BAH!

My FORKING Thoughts on Reese’s Creamy Cups

My local stores Walmart and Safeway grocery have exploded with all these New and Different Reese’s products. I’m a fan of original Reese’s so I thought I’d give them a try.

Honestly it’s kinda hard to tell how they are. They are similar to the regular original Reese’s Cup but sort of melted. The chocolate and peanut butter are both much softer. Maybe slightly less flavorful….They are harder to enjoy because they are too soft. Maybe they’d be good with ice cream? I prefer the original to this creamy version. I would not buy them again.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Reese’s Creamy. I do note that your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.

My FORKING Thoughts on Milk Chocolate Honey Graham M&M’s

I came across Milk Chocolate Honey Graham M&M’s at my local Fry’s Supermarket today so I thought I’d give them a try.

I glance at the ingredients and nothing seems too terrible.

Next I take a big sniff from the open bag…..It smells like chocolate. I’m thinking….maybe they might be good?….

Then I spill some out.

The M&M’s are extra small and all of them are deformed in shape. They almost look like current sized but wrinkly like raisins.

If they are good there is no way in the world that this is a serving.

Anyways I give them a try.

They are sweet. Maybe too sweet for some adults. The sweet is something like a honey taste. You also get a savory taste………it’s closer to cereal mixed with malt than a graham taste that is also mixed with a little bit of chocolaty taste.

If you let them melt in your mouth you get different flavors. The candy shell is the normal sweet candy shell that you expect……Then you do get a honey sort of taste that mixes and dilutes the chocolate taste. Then you are left with small cereal nuggets….

They are better if you just eat them.

It’s too hard ti eat just one serving.

For me they don’t really taste like honey graham but I do like the light texture and flavors that they have. I think that these Honey Graham M&M’s would be best as a Sundae topping.

My FORKING Thoughts on M&M’s White Chocolate Pretzel Snowballs

When I see a new M&M’s I usually just have to give them a try. I found these White Chocolate M&M’s Snowballs at my local Safeway….I wasn’t sure if I was going to try them because one of the last white chocolate M&M’s that I tried I didn’t care for but I picked them up because very few new flavors of M&M’s came out this year.

I open the bag up.

The M&M’s are in slightly irregular shapes. They are in colors of bright blue, Robbins egg blue and white……

When I take a closer look I see some are marked “N” instead of “M”…?

These are really different. They have a perfect salty to sweet ratio. I taste the pretzel slightly more than the chocolate or candy. Actually they are pretty good with a really nice textures. The pretzel in them is very light but crunchy with pieces of salt on them. The white chocolate is not too sweet and it’s melty and not waxy. The shell gives it some sweetness and a nice crunch. They seem so light that they are easy to eat….Maybe too easy to eat? ……….These are too easy to keep eating.

My FORKING Thoughts are that the White Chocolate Pretzel Snowball M&M’s are pretty good!

My FORKING Thoughts on Hammond’s White Chocolate Lemon Meringue Bar

I spotted this White Chocolate Lemon Meringue Bar at my local AJ’s Fine Foods and I had to try it.

I open it up carefully. I attempted to break off one brick….That didn’t work.

These bars have lots of filling and the white chocolate is very delicate and almost soft.

I taste the broken ends. The lemony part is really great and sure does taste like really good lemon meringue filling…Like the right tart and the right sweet……the right amount of lemon……….The white chocolate is pretty good for white chocolate but it does end with a sweet finish like it should like some meringue. (I hate when meringue taste like egg whites…ick)

I think that this flavor is pretty good but they’ve forgotten that lemon meringue is a pie and should have some crumbs for crust. A few slightly salted cookie crumbs on the bottom would have balanced it all really well………But it is still pretty good anyway.

My FORKING Thoughts on Reese’s Potato Chips BIG CUP

The Reese’s Big Cup with potato chips have been out for a while but today I finally broke down and tried one.

I open it up.

Mine is slightly defective. I don’t want to know what it’s been though.

I cut it in half.

Lets take a closer look.

At first I thought that they left out the chips but I can see some in there……..

I start on the end.

Wow…that is a good amount of Reese’s chocolate….I never had that much before….I kinda like that……..

Now for a bite into the peanut butter. The peanut butter taste good like it normally does….but……

Not what I was expecting…

SUPER CRISP CRUNCHY HARD small pieces of wavy or ridged potato chips that are tasteless but so crunchy that they seem like coated with something like ceramic. I have no idea how they sucked out all the flavor from the chips? I also have no idea how they got them so oddly hard like ceramic. I was almost worried that I could damage my teeth.

I pulled one out of my mouth.

They’re not bad…….I think the best part is the thick chocolate that you wouldn’t normally get with a Reese’s…..For a Big Cup they really aren’t so big and are less than 200 calories (180 to be exact). If you don’t mind super hard crunches in your Reese’s cup they are pretty good…..but the chips are strange and for me too crunchy……..I was afraid I’d damage a filling or chip a tooth. I will go chipless next time.

My FORKING Thoughts on M&M’s Crunchy Cookie M&M’s

My husband came across these Crunchy Cookie M&M’s and knew that I would want to try them…and he sure was right I do want to try them.

I wasn’t expecting much because in the corner it reads artificially flavored….BAH!

Well I try them anyway….

They are a weird size for M&M’s.

They are extra tiny.

I eat a few……They don’t taste like cookies….but they seem light and crunchy. They are feel like malt balls in the mouth…but they don’t taste like malt balls……

Not a lot of chocolate here…….They have less chocolate than malt balls.

They’re not bad……..and are easy to eat….They have nice textures to them……a pleasant nice light crunch. They are too light textured to be a cookie inside…….Maybe they are closer to a breakfast cereal type of crunch? They don’t taste bad. Just not a cookie taste.

Not bad.

Not as good as the original or my favorite the almond M&M’s.

That was my FORKING Thoughts on Crunchy Cookie M&M’s.

Where The FORK is the Peanut Butter in New Russell Stover Joy Bites? Joy Bites? More like OY bites.

I came across these NEW Russell Stover sugar free peanut butter chocolate bars at my local Safeway grocery store. I didn’t even read the package but I thought the chocolate bar looked very appetizing in the picture. LOOK at all that peanut butter in the picture below. It looks so scrumptious!

I normally would never buy this brand of chocolate because I used to not like it but I thought this must be a new recipe because it looks so delicious on the package. Then when I got it home we cracked it open and ate two of the sections of the chocolate bar.

It really isn’t bad for sugar free chocolate. It melts in the mouth and can pass as sweetened with sugar…..but……….

…..Where The FORK is the Peanut Butter?

Joy Bites?

More like remove the “J” and you get OY bites. In addition to NO SUGAR added there is NO PEANUT BUTTER ADDED.

I contacted Russell Stover on Facebook and Instagram on this matter and got nothing from them…..Just like the same amount of no peanut butter that I didn’t get from them.

Where the FORK is the peanut butter in Joy Bites?

Remove the “J” from Joy Bites and you are left with oy bites.

And that’s The FORKING Truth.

Some FORKING Thoughts on The Christmas Candy Cane

A long time ago in a land far far away someone invented candy sticks to make kids shut the FORK up for when they were in church. It was also written that someone from Germany got the idea to put a little religion into the candy sticks by adding on a Shepard’s hook shape to the candy.

Some time has passed….and someone got the idea to add hyssop flavoring to the candy because hyssop was used in the Old Testament for purification and sacrifice. Maybe nobody wanted child sacrifice on their hands so they stopped adding hyssop flavor. But maybe the real reason that they stopped adding hyssop is because they found that mint flavoring was cheaper (and tasted better).

Next change was that they added The White Stripes.

Or was it the Red Stripes symbolizing the blood of Christ?

Maybe you have noticed that many candy canes still have stripes but are no longer are mint flavored?

Pizza Flavored
Kale Flavored
Mac & Cheese flavored
Warhead, Swedish Fish, Smarties flavored
Life Savers, OREO, Dum Dum flavored
Bacon flavored
Rotisserie Chicken flavored
Pickle flavored
Coal flavored
“It doesn’t FORKING matter how the candy cane is flavored. When the kid eats it they will shut the FORK up”.

That was Some FORKING Thoughts on The Christmas Candy Cane.

Wishing you and yours a Merry and Safe Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
