Assorted Fruit Hard Candy - 5 Pounds - Classic Hard Candies Assortment - Oval Shaped Sweets for Offices, Desk, Parties

Long ago I developed the habit of carrying a few hard candies in my purse or pockets for those occasions when my sweet tooth acted up. Rather than grab a cookie or something even more caloric, I enjoy one or two hard candies and the problem's solved! The flavors are good, although I sure wish they'd lessen the quantity of red/cherry and add more lemon or orange. No matter, though. This is a great buy.

The candy became a hit.

The Fruit Flavored Hard Candy assortment offers a substantial quantity of oval-shaped candies that is sure to appeal to both casual snackers and candy enthusiasts alike. Weighing in at a generous five pounds, this assortment provides excellent value for those looking to stock up on sweet treats without straining their wallets.Upon opening the bag, the array of vibrant colors is enticing, and the presentation aligns with what one might expect from a classic hard candy collection. Each piece is uniformly shaped and the packaging ensures that the candies arrive intact, making them suitable for gifting, parties, or personal enjoyment.However, while the cost-effectiveness of this bulk offering is commendable, the flavor experience unfortunately does not quite match the visual appeal. Upon sampling the various flavors, it becomes evident that the candied profiles, while pleasant, lack the robust intensity one might anticipate. The fruit flavors, ranging from cherry to lemon and lime, tend to be more subtle than striking, leaving a desire for bolder, more pronounced tastes.The sweetness is adequately balanced, making them enjoyable for those with a preference for milder confections. Yet, for candy lovers seeking a vibrant punch of flavor, the experience may feel a touch underwhelming. This deficiency in flavor dynamism could limit the appeal of these candies for more discerning palates who crave a richer sensory experience.In conclusion, the Fruit Flavored Hard Candy assortment is a cost-effective choice for bulk candy purchases. While it delivers on quantity and visual allure, the flavor profiles would benefit from enhancement to meet the expectations of those seeking a more robust fruity explosion. For casual consumers or those seeking a nostalgic treat, it may still serve as a delightful option, but serious connoisseurs of candy may find themselves wishing for more.

The flavors are very palatable. These are good candies.

They are very hard to open, takes a lot of time trying to get the rapper off.

These are individually wrapped.

These are the perfect size

This is nothing but bulk repackaged candy from some unknown manufacturer in Brazil. It worryingly contains food colors that have been banned in the UK and require warning labels in Europe (so companies there now usually opt for less-vibrant natural colors).The "Swirleey" brand is owned by bulk candy seller Pandrax Group in New Jersey and does not exist outside Amazon.The candy, otherwise, tastes fine and, apart from the objectionable food colors, have typical ingredients. It takes some effort to take off the wrapping from individual candies, though.My rating system:5 Stars = Knocks it out of the park. A great value!4 Stars = Excellent product. A solid buy.3 Stars = It provides some value, but perhaps not as advertised.2 Stars = A little dubious, so do your research. Read the critical reviews!1 Star = Avoid this product and look elsewhere.
