Sweet 'n Salty

Gotta love this time of year. Fall is a beautiful season in the 'burgh. Also, now is the time that the stores are selling boatloads of Halloween candy. That's right, you knew it was going back to chocolate. I'm even clipping coupons for snack-sized Snickers. Hooray.

Of course I couldn't pass up a half off bag of pretzel M&Ms at the store. No, this isn't the first time I've had them; however they are so delicious that I find them worthy of a blog post.

Mars nailed the cravings for salty and sweet on this one. The only thing I would change? Add more chocolate. Shocking, I know. But I feel like just one more coating would do the trick. I find myself eating just a few more each time to satisfy the chocolate craving. Perhaps that's exactly what M&Ms wanted... Tricky...  I would love a dark chocolate version!



Bonus: Don't you just love the new Orange character?!

Stop. Drop. and Enjoy.

Have you tried the new Hershey's Drops? They are along the same choco vein as M&Ms only without the candy shell and are twice as large!

So far I've tried two varieties. First I tried the York Peppermint Patties drops... only without the peppermint patty. I'd have to say they are a little disappointing. This is probably because my favorite part of the peppermint patty is the white peppermint - which is lacking in the drops. The drops are nothing more than candy coated dark chocolate infused with peppermint. These do not taste like the "sensational" York peppermint patties.

However, the Cookies 'n Creme drops get the Chocolate Emergency big thumbs up! These taste just like the candy bar in a pop-able little morsel. I nearly got in a fight with my fiancee over these because I thought he ate them all! 

Yet to try are the mini - mini Reese's cups. Yum! Because they are so mini, I won't have to feel bad after eating 10 20 of them.
