Are the Sour Patch Kids Candy Canes worth picking up for the holidays?
The holiday season is upon and that means that a lot of seasonal treats are hitting store shelves. And one treat that we are excited to see returning to stores is none other than the Sour Patch Kids Candy Canes.
In previous years, the candy canes from Sour Patch Kids were individually colored to match the different flavors found in a classic bag of the sour and sweet jelly candies. However, recently there has been a shift in the way these canes look. And now we get a more festive candy cane look from Sour Patch Kids.
With red, blue, green and white stripes, these sour and sweet candy canes are a bit more representative of the festive season than before. And yet, I can't help but miss the colorful canes of previous year.
Sour Patch Kids Candy Canes are perfect for people who don't want the minty canes at the holidays
Honestly, no matter what color these candy canes are, we love them. There is something about a hard candy version of a Sour Patch Kid that is hard to resist. I will say that I wish there was more sour to these candy canes, in line with the original candy. But at the same time, these are a nice alternative to a traditional candy cane.
These are hard candies that have a fruity flavor and that is really what makes them fun. If they had a bit more of the sour aspect to them, I think these would be a hands down win. However, I do have to point out that I really like sour candies so this could just be a me thing. But I truly think if they even offered like a powder dip that you could add more sour to the canes, it would elevate these to a whole new level.
As a fan of Sour Patch Kids, I love any chance I can get one of their sweet and sour candies. And yes, that includes their candy canes.
Are you a fan of the Sour Patch Kids Candy Canes? Do you wish they really delivered on the sour part of the name? Or do you think they are perfect as they are?
