#VANILLA MILK DUD UPDATE#
Here are some frequently asked questions emailed to me you might want to read first.įor a daily update of Candy Blog reviews, enter your email address:.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) Dove Caramels & Chocolate Covered Almonds.Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Eggs (Plus a Bonus).May contain traces of peanuts or tree nuts (and of course has dairy and soy ingredients).
The package says no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. If you’ve ever hoped for a more decadent version of Milk Duds, these may be for you. I found eating these slowly and with other items like nuts or pretzels was the way to go.
The light salty hit and complex flavors aren’t quite enough to offset the overt sweetness of both the caramel and the chocolate. Overall the texture combination is great and they look fantastic. The chocolate is very sweet but has an excellent slick melt. It’s a well rounded vanilla flavor, sometimes with extract notes (a bit alcoholic) and sometimes more on the raisin and banana side. The caramel has a lot of buttery notes to it along with a strong vanilla flavor, sometimes I even detected vanilla seeds in there. It’s a smooth chew, especially when combined with the creamy chocolate. It has a good pull to it, which is the way I prefer my caramel, just slightly stiff. The caramel center is chewy and soft without being gooey.
The chocolate shell is nicely panned, thick and glossy with a snap upon biting. The chocolate isn’t particularly dark, in fact when I was eating them during the photo shoot I thought they were milk chocolate because of the dairy flavors of the caramel. The pieces are about the size of a shelled hazelnut. The ingredients also list two different kinds of vanilla, the advertised Tahitian Vanilla ( Vanilla tahitensis) and Bourbon Vanilla ( Vanilla planifolia). The ingredients appear to be all natural, though I never know quite what to think about “fractionated palm kernel oil” except that I’d probably like it better if it was spelled “butter.” The package describes them as Creamy vanilla caramels covered with premium dark chocolate. This one is a medium lavender and a simple design featuring a very accurate depiction of the candies on the front. The little tubs of candy are often a good value, but tough to portion. I appreciate Trader Joe’s making more small single-serving packages available. The little bite sized caramels come in a two ounce bag. A generous reader alerted me to the new Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Tahitian Vanilla Caramels, which were easy to find near the checkout by The Man who does nearly all of our grocery shopping.
