These caught my eye at Ace Hardware last month:
 |
| Individually wrapped like the packaging says. Seems old fashioned (and a touch wasteful). |

| The candy inside. |
I don't often "review" CANDY, but being this is root beer flavored, I feel like I need to...
Origin: Great Neck, NY.
Purchase Place: Frattallone's Ace Hardware, St. Paul, MN.
Sweetener: Sugar and Glucose Syrup.
Review: Obviously, my main point of reference is a "root beer barrel," but I expected this to be better (or maybe "more refined") than a root beer barrel. And I was right. It was a bit more caramel flavored, but just a touch. The flavor was actually more subtle than a root beer barrel - it didn't have that same harshness. And it was very long lasting. So it's a slightly more refined, slightly more gentle, and slightly more caramely version of a classic root beer barrel. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's pretty good and quite enjoyable!
Score: 7.5 out of 10.
Haha, this is so great! I found these recently and decided to look at what other people thought. Yeah I agree they're not too spectacular but they do taste like a more refined barrel.
