Original Sixlets

A nut-free logo makes sixlets a likeable company, and the stupid little glasses caterpillar is also endearing to me. But honestly these don't taste that good to me ("I've had better"), even though I tragically don't have many other normal chocolate candy options (basically hershey-ettes at christmas). The reason these aren't great is that they're really malty. The orbs are cute, the candy coating is good, the size and everything is good, the only negative for me is the taste of the chocolate...which is a pretty big negative. It's really sweet, not creamy/milky, and very malty. Tastes like whoppers but with no crunchy bit. I appreciate that they kept the taste the same over the years, and I am vaguely nostalgic about them, but I still don't like them that much.

Cost: 6/10

Chewy Sixlets Fruity Flavored Candies

I had no idea sixlets made a fruity version! That's fun, although the appeal of sixlets is really that they're like an allergy-friendly version of M&Ms (but not quite, since they're round and malty and not really the same at all). Anyway, a new candy is always fun. And these are so pretty, with shiny opaque coating. Unfortunately, I ate these in the middle of being sick, which meant that I couldn't taste them and also that eating so much sugar almost definitely made me get even sicker, whoops. So, I really don't know what these tasted like, although the different colors did seem to correspond to different flavors (and I think I liked red best). I thought the texture was good, they were very chewy and juicy, and the coating was a nice solid exterior that didn't melt or anything weird. They seemed very sweet, and I don't know if the flavor was weird or good. Since I've never ever seen these in a store, though, I don't think it really matters!
