Oreo Chestnut Crunch

An Oreo chocolate bar with a chestnut flavoring.
That sounds like a sure thing, right?
The bar is pretty small, which is perfect if you just want a small snack.
I have been seeing more and more of these non-cookie versions of Oreo.
And I like it, the more the merrier.

I have always liked the Oreo package color.
And this is no exception. It has that nice blue color.
But, it is also orange and that does not really give me visions of chestnuts.
More of an orange flavoring.
I like oranges, but the package should not give the wrong idea.



It does not smell like chestnuts or chocolate.
But it does have a strong smell of coffee, which is pretty weird considering.
So far we have a package that makes you think of oranges and a smell of coffee.
Will the flavor justify these "errors"?
Well, no. It tastes of coffee too.
And that is actually OK. The coffee flavor is really nice.
But this is supposed to be chestnut flavored, so I am a bit disappointed.

FritoLay Cheetos x Pepsi Shuwa Shuwa Cola Corn Snack [Limited Edition]

I can not believe it! I made it another year.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this blog turns two years today.
I remember the beginning like it was yesterday.
When I started this blog I only had a dream... A dream and lots of candy.

And here I am, two years and 119 (including this one) posts later.
A lot of candy and snacks has been eaten and a lot of soda has been tested.
But I promise you, there will be more. I do not have less things to try, I have more!



Today is a day of celebration.
And what better when celebrating, than some soda and snacks.
Or why not both? At the same time?
Here we have Pepsi flavoured Cheetos.
You read correctly, Pepsi Flavored Cheetos!



This is a Limited Edition snack and a cooperation between Fritolay and Pepsi.
Now Fritolay likes to try new flavours, but this is just crazy.
In other words, perfect for my blog.
First of all, the packaging is very nice.
It is blue and fresh, with a big cup of Pepsi soda floating on a river of the snack itself.
Look at that cup go. It looks like it is having the time of its life.
But what now? It fell over drenching the snack with its Pepsi content.
However will this taste?



The snack does not smell that much of Pepsi actually.
But if you stick your nose into the bag, oh my, there is lots of Pepsi scent in that bag.
One thing to clear out. The Shuwa Shuwa in the name, it kind of means the sound that the bubbles in a soda can makes.
And yes, the snack also smells like carobnated soda.



But what about the taste you ask?
That is a good question and I really like you for asking it.
The taste, is... Well, weird as you might imagine.
The first thing you taste is acctually the carbonation.
It is kind of a sharp and bubbly flavor. It acctually fizzes a bit in your mouth.
When that immediate flavour has gone, there is an after taste of cola.
The taste is kind of bitter, but at the same time sweet.
The kind of flavor you get from a flat pepsi soda.



But are they any good? Well, yes and no.
The flavor is good in the sense that it is very weird and like nothing I have ever tried before.
But I would not call them tasty. I would call them impressive.
To go so far flavor wise.

I will now end this celebration and hope for another year filled with candynstuff.
Cheers!

Whoppers Strawberry Milkshake

I have written about Whoppers before.
Almost a year ago acctually.
Back then, they were peanut butter flavoured [Reese's Whoppers Peanut Butter].
But this time, they are strawberry milkshake flavoured.

I really like the box. There is lots going on.
From the pink milkshake color to the Whoppers font.
Also, it shows perfectly what you are getting yourself into.
Malt balls, pink, strawberries and milkshake, all combined into one.



The balls have no particular smell, at least I can not detect it.
Which is a shame because strawberry milkshake smells terrific.
At least if it is done right.

The balls are pretty chewy and a bit crispy in the middle.
There is a taste of strawberries and a taste of milk.
But it is very chemical and kind of faint.
Although the taste is still kind of nice, I would not call it "milkshaky".

KitKat Crème Caramel

Another Thursday, another KitKat to try.
And you thought I had run out of KitKat flavors?
Not even close...

This one is crème caramel flavored.
Crème caramel is not my favorite desert, but it is not bad.
If I had to choose, I would rather eat crema catalana or crème brûlée.
But we are here to try this one so, let us get to it.



The packaging is a standard KitKat packaging (yes the pictures are bad).
A logo and a picture representing the flavor.
I like the color coordination of the package.

Anyway, it is a white chocolate based KitKat.
And it has a caramely smell.
It is actually kind of close to what you would smell if it was a real crème caramel.
Unfortunately, the flavor is not as close.
It taste of caramel but it is kind of tame.
All-in-all an ok KitKat.

PowerKing White Cola

Candynstuff has been on vacation and therefore it has been very quiet around here.
But now work has started again and what do you need then?
Yes, an energy drink.

Today I will be trying the Powerking White Cola.
Now, Powerking is a kind of generic energy drink.
But it still has some interesting flavour, like this one!

There is an ice cream in Sweden called Igloo, which is basically an cola flavoured popsicle.
The cola taste of the popsicle is really nice and this energy drink is very close to it.
It has a very faint scent of cola, but as always with energy drinks, the taurin scent takes over.



The can and fluid is very generic.
Yes it is White Cola but there could at least have been some more graphics on the can?
And the fluid should definetly be white, not see-through.

The flavour is pretty close to the Igloo popsicle.
It is a very nice flavour acctually, kind of smooth.
Not like most energy drinks.

Fanta Mango & Passionfruit [Limited Edition]

I have only writen about Fanta once on this blog before.
But that must change, as I have tried lots of nice and special Fanta flavours.
And this is one of them.



A limited edition Fanta with mango and passionfruit flavour.
I like both mango and passionfruit, so this should be an easy fit.
I really like the can, except the Fanta world person, I do not like him.
Maybey because I absolutely hate that commercial.
The can has a nice representation of the flavour.
Purple for passionfruit and orange for mango (and orange juice, because there is lots of that in it).



The soda does not really smell like anything more than regular Fanta.
I would have liked a more mango smell, because that is really nice.
What about the taste?
Both the mango and the passionfruit flavouring is kind of tame.
On account of the orange juice.
Yes, it tastes the most of orange juice, but the other flavours are also there.
It is a really nice soda, but I can not help but wonder what the taste would have been without the orange.

Cinnamon Bun Bites

You have waited a while for this.
The end of our cookie dought marathon.
Do not worry, I am sure there will be more cookie dough bites in the future.
Since this is the end, why not go out with a bang?
Why not end with Cinnabon Bun Bites?



Everyone loves cinnamon buns?
Or, at least, they should...
I have a good feeling about these bites.
Just look at the box!
It makes me want to eat it, as well as its content.
It has a nice light brown background colour.
A picture of some real cinnamon buns.
And also some of the bites in the package.

Let us find out if they taste like they are fresh from the oven.
Opening the box, you are greated with a nice smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns.
It does really smell like you have something baking in your oven.
I just sat there for a while, taking in the smell. Lovely.



The taste is, unfortunately, not as close to "freshly baked" as the smell.
But, that does not mean they are not really awesome.
They taste just like cinnamon buns.
Of all the cookie dough bites if tried during these weeks, this is by far my favourite.
The smell alone, makes me love them.
