bedsitter23A visitor from Idaho is in town.
He brought Idaho Spuds.
Not potatoes, but a popular state candy.
The candy that is almost 100 years old is described by their website as a wonderful combination of a light cocoa flavored, soft marshmallow center drenched with a dark chocolate coating and then sprinkled with coconut (Sorry, no potato!). The potato shape and unique blend of ingredients appeals to both young and old, making the "Idaho Spud" one of the top hundred selling candy bars in the Northwest
The potato shaped candy appeals to me because I like dark chocolate and coconut, and though it's got its critics for being artificially sweet, I didn't really feel that. in which case, I like it better than the candy I grew up with, which i suppose is a similar concept (subtract coconut, add graham cracker) the Moon Pie.
Reviews (mostly negative) here, but I liked it.
