Bleh. I'm backdating this post in a misguided(?) attempt not to bring any commercial attention to Harry Potter related merchandise. Why do I then have said merchandise, you ask? Because from ages 11-24 (roughly) I was completely, soul-consumedly obsessed with Harry Potter, as were many in my cohort - and so now people sometimes give me Harry Potter stuff despite my repeated "Here is what is going on with JKR and why I don't want to financially support Harry Potter stuff anymore" entreaties. Since I think it comes out of love for me (and cognitive decline?), I will guiltily eat these (and donate some cash to charity). But I hope they're bad because I don't want to yearn for them and be stuck in a moral dilemma!
Well, they're OK. Very different from normal kisses: not chocolate! They smell just like Hershey's caramel topping for ice cream sundaes. Which is good...on ice cream sundaes. It's a lot just on its own. Is caramel the same thing as butterscotch, by the way? I didn't think so, but now I'm not sure. The inside is a creme texture, but with basically the same taste as the caramel shell. Is this what butterbeer tastes like? (I am also avoiding Harry Potter World so I'll never know). It's very sugary. Like drinking the sweet dregs of a melted Friendly's Caramel Fudge Blast. Which is, like, pretty good I guess. Just unexpected given the form factor. Alas, [would that it were] earwax!
Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 7/10
Wishing I could go back to unfettered memories of gaybledore and carpetbook: 10/10
Wishing I could go back to a time before I read all the horrible comments on reviews of these elsewhere: 10/10
