  The weirdest candy I’ve ever had was a candy bar I had on vacation. It was composed of a layer of peanut butter nougat, chocolate covered dried plums and figs, peanuts, cashews, crisped rice, and some sort of jelly-like paste. This was all covered in white chocolate. There was just way to much going on in this bar!

  It was lime-flavored rock candy from some candy store in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. One word….yuck!

  I hate to say it, but it was my grandmother’s candy. All together, it was a bar mixed with marshmallow, chocolate, caramel, and cherry. The cherry was too overpowering to enjoy the chocolate!!

• sandy

  I would have to say chocoalte covered beetles- that was the oddest- not bad but odd…
  the most disgusting was fudge from mil that she made- ever puked for days

  I’ve had chocolate covered ants. The other “worst” candy would by those round pink mint things. I call them peto bismol tablets, but I don’t know what their real name is.

  I must say, the weirdest candy I’ve tried is the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Jelly Bean, because some of those are absolutely horrendous and true to the flavors they said they would be.

• Carol G
  Aug 6, 2008 at 6:31 am

  Some time back they put out some jelly bean type candy in very unusual flavors, some of them truly gross. I refused to taste the ones that would have been really yucky (after tasting some that were good, and really fulfilled what they said about the flavor being true), but my grandchildren did–and were VERY sorry they had!

  I just tasted one, from Dollar store, it says made in Brazil, but I forgot the name. It looked yummy, inside vanilla with choc. chips…so i bit it and spat it right out. I tasted like, no kidding, throw up…I couldn’t believe it. I had to put a spoon of honey in my mouth to kill the remaining taste. It was just beyond awful. I am still having goose bumps thinking about the flavor. UGHHHH

• Rachel

  There was this one time, where my mom gave me something that looked like taffy, and I read the wrapper, and it said Armadillo Droppings. The worse part about it was that I actually ate it, but it didn’t taste like droppings, not that I know what that tastes like, I mean, come on!

• Danielle Haberkorn
  Aug 6, 2008 at 12:33 pm

  The weirdest candy I’ve ever eaten was this Japan taffy stuff, it was supposed to taste like milk or something, strange. One of the exchange students from there gave it to me.

  I never knew so many people had tried the chocolate covered ants! When I was about eleven, I got the chocolate assortment with ants, crickets, and “baby bees” (bee larvae). I’m glad to be able to say I tried them, but I’ve also never gone back for more. Those chocolate Skittles look a lot better!

• Christina Barnes

• Elizabeth M.

  Once I went to a bulk candy store and I bought licorice sticks in grape, green apple and orange. I absolutely hated them. My face is grimacing now just remembering it.

• Cilfton Wade
  Aug 6, 2008 at 5:55 pm

  My worst chocolate was a chocolate cake my wife made and she forgot to put all the ingredients in and baked it - iced it - and gave it to our family for the dessert. She threw it all out.
  Thanks for this unusual contest prize!

  The Chocolistas did not favor these either. So, we shall say Chocolate Skittles was the weirdest thing.

• Marygrace

  Returning from Nevada, we stopped in a random desert town. They had some candy samples, so I tried one. Their specialty, chocolate covered rattlesnake! Really was awful- didn’t try the chocolate covered cactus. Doubt if it was better!

• Briana

  Brother in law lives in Germany and sends my kids chocolate eggs, milk choc on outside and white choco on the inside, then there is a capsule with a tiny tiny toy you assemble inside.
  You can’t get them here in US I think because you aren’t allowed to put toys in food. But they are the coolest things, and taste better than any chocolate I’ve ever had.

  I think the weirdest would have to be chocolate twizzlers. Not the greatest taste.

  My friend went to Mexico on a family vacation and came back with candy. She gave me a margarita flavored one that had a worm in it…who would have known that it was normal to find bugs in your candy there. Gross.

• Meredith Peters
  Aug 7, 2008 at 9:33 am

  When I was a kid in Bangkok, they used to sell peanut candy sitting out with flies all over it and my mother used to let me get some and eat it. Don’t make me tell the story about the soup we bought from a bicycle vendor that had a cat’s head in it!!

  The weirdest thing I’ve ever had was chocolate covered ants. Don’t think I’d ever want them again, but they really weren’t too too bad…it’s more the thought of what it is.

• Elizabeth Ray
  Aug 7, 2008 at 2:39 pm

  A recipe I got from the paper for chocolate covered Easter egg candy had a typo. The coating called for 5 times as much paraffin as it is was supposed to. I had trouble getting the coating to stick, as it hept sliding off, but I finally got it together. It looked fine. But when we tasted it … let’s just say, this dessert got a new name. Lisa’s Chocolate Crayons.

  My friend brought me some chocolate once, I think she got them from Cost Plus world market where they have a bunch of candy from different parts of the world. It was spicey chocolate. I’m pretty sure it had chilipowder in it. I only ate half of it, it was pretty gross.

• Janet F
  Aug 8, 2008 at 2:23 am

  The weirdest candy was the one my mother-in-law made.

  It was awful.

  She loved it.

  It was almost like a nougat with nuts but it was squishy and it had absolutely no taste.

  Her main ingredient was cornstarch.

  Thank you!

  My son is a huge Harry Potter fan, so we’ve tried all the candy released with the movies that we could find. Jelly Belly released the Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans with flavors such as Bacon, Dirt, Grass, Earwax and …Vomit! Once you have that last flavor, you probably won’t eat jelly beans again for a while! By the way, the flavors are very authentic! Thank you for the contest!
