TastyKake Kandy Bar Kakes

Hello!

 

This is a review of TastyKakes Kandy Bar Kakes.

They describe the product this way:
"Kandy Bar Kakes are the best of both worlds. Light and fluffy chocolate enrobed cakes come in a unique kandy bar shape with a delicious créme filling made with your favorite candy flavors. Available in S'mores, Peppermint, and Peanut Butter flavor.

Available at grocery and convenience stores across America."

 

 

I received this product in my Influenster Spring Vox Box and was pretty skeptical. I'm not one for snack foods like this (cakes, cookies, candy bars, etc...) and if I do indulge in one, there's a 83.7% chance that there's peanut butter in it.

 

I really love peanut butter.

 

I digress.

 

It was a little bit smooshed in the box. (I think the hair product I received kept rolling over it.) So when I got around to trying it out it was a little bit crumbly.

 

Crumbs are not my favorite. They always go right for the cleavage.

 

I think if it hadn't been shipped to me and I had bought one in the store the crumbs wouldn't be an issue, but then again, maybe not.

 

Okay. Taste.

 

It was... sweet? I think I probably would have really liked this in highschool when sweet snacks were my life, but in my ripe old age of twenty-three, it was just a tad too sweet.

 

The S'more flavor wasn't my favorite either. I've never been big on S'mores. I saw some people got a Reese's bar and I'm sure I would have preferred that one.



 

Calories.

 

WOAH. One cake is one serving and has 260 calories and 38 carbs.

 

Ugh. That's too much.

 

So let's break it down.

 

Pros:

I like that it was made with Hershey's cocoa. I trust Hershey's cocoa. I don't know why. I just do. Deal with it.

 

I actually didn't mind the flavor. I'm not big on s'mores, but it wasn't awful. Just sweet, like a s'more. I think that if I had been able to try a Reese's one, I would have really liked it.

Price.
Single Serve - $1.69 Family Pack - $4.49
I think that's a pretty fair price for the product. I don't think I'd spend any more than $2 on a single serve.

 

Cons:

The size of the snack itself was a little bigger than I would have liked. I wish they had split the cake (kake?) into two bars. Then you could share it with a friend or eat both sides or only eat half... You get the picture.

 

Crumbs. They're the worst.

 

Calories. Ooh. That's so much for one bar. This brings me back to splitting it in two. I think it would be much easier to justify the calories if I only ate half of one, and if I wanted to eat both sides, who's going to stop me? It's my life.

 

 

So there you have it!

 

I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster.
