Spring:ranking best spring candies
Birds mark the beginning of spring, arriving back from the southern hemisphere to welcome back the warmth. Milder temperatures come in, allowing the sun to finally make an appearance after hiding behind clouds for months. Along with the blooming trees comes the sudden wave of allergies, sneaking up on you before you can even realize. Insects become more active, from the busy pollinators to the pesky mosquitoes. Amidst all the chaos comes a seasonal find: the line of spring candies that arrive at your local grocery store. Here are some of the best spring candies ranked, considering both their tastes and packaging.
Peeps are a candy that tastes and looks like pure happiness and joy. A light and soft marshmallow on the inside accompanied by a sugar-coated outside, these chicks and bunnies never disappoint. Many believe this candy tastes purely like styrofoam — however, this might be due to the fact many let these creations sit stale before they are even able to go in for a bite. The best way to eat these delicacies is to roast them over a fire until a hard candy crust forms outside with the gooey marshmallow inside.
Personally, I am not a big fan of regular jelly beans. There are just too many choices, with each flavor becoming stranger than the one before, from buttered popcorn to juicy pear. However, once Starburst Jelly Beans came on the market, everything changed. Inside the bag lives not a single bad flavor, packing the Starburst spirit in a mini bean shape. These beans add flavor and moisture to the original candy, bursting with flavor and enhancing the texture. Something about this bag of candies just makes it so that when you reach your hand into a bag, you simply cannot stop.
PEZ really tried. This candy deserves recognition for its packaging, but the actual sweet treat itself tastes no different than the Vitamin D pills I ingest daily. In order to eat this candy, you must load all the rectangle candies into a dispenser right below your favorite cartoon character’s head. PEZ is also the candy that comes with a side of landfill, the consumer is paying for ten percent candy and ninety percent plastic. When buying a new pack of these sweet treats, each bundle comes with another dispenser, never any with just candies.
While spring might seem like an obstacle in the way of summer, just remember through rain or shine, you will always have these spring candies to accompany you along the way. While the choices may be overwhelming, refer back to this article to ensure that you don’t make the wrong choice.
