Full Review:

Wonka’s Kazoozles!

Benjamin ate this on February 14, 2010

The packaging on these states that they are “new!” but a seasoned snacker like myself might remember seeing these about 2 summers ago under a different name.  I don’t care what they’re named – this is one of my absolute favorite candies ever.  It’s a bit of  guilty pleasure honestly.  It’s super intense.  Basically a classic licorice rope (think arcades / roller rinks) with a liquid sweet-tart-esque filling.  Yeah, wow, lot going on flavor wise.  Not exactly something you pair with a nice white wine – actually, I would – but whatever, its a amazingly flavored.  Super intense, but not sour, I love the licorice’s consistency, the filling isn’t gooey/drippy, just right.  If you consider candy that would wire a 5 year old for about 3 days.  The name is pretty funny but the tag line is hilarious: “Delickoricious Chewy Candy”.  Well done, well done.  I believe there is another flavor of these as well that’s yellow.  We’ll find it and review it soon.  Note: I finished this candy before I finished writing this paragraph.

First word after your first bite?  How about other words?

“Yes!”  I have a serious sweet-tooth and this hits the spot on a “now THIS is candy scale” its certainly a 10.

What kind of store did you find it at?

This is definitely a corner-store, gas station, pharmacy kind of candy.  Which is also a great place to find me.

Stand-alone snack or with something else?

I really find it to be a stand-alone snack.  It’s intense.  I don’t know though, maybe a nice vintage of Kool-Aid?

Thoughts on the packaging?

I think they could do a slightly better job maybe showing the product itself better – its a cool looking candy actually.  But the packaging matches the flavor for sure.

Would you buy it again?

This is the kind of candy that makes me want to make up a Tax ID so I can get a wholesale account.
