Green & Black's Maya Gold

In the spirit of the Season of Much Sugar Consumption that we are in the midst of, I thought I'd make a review of my very favourite confection:

i bought my first Green & Blacks the other day! it is the Almond kind, and i haven't actually opened it up yet. i found them for $2.99 (!) so now that i've heard i may have to go back and buy one of each.

$2.99?! Do I smell the potential for another candyswap in the making?! Sadly I am in Canada too, and would not be able to send fun foreign candy, but Winnipeg IS the home of the mighty Clodhoppers. Do you have those in BC?

[thisisfurious]

yeah, there are clodhoppers here. i actually can't eat them anymore, though. i ate too many at a movie once, and the thought of them has made me slightly sick ever since.

Perhaps it's a BC thing - I buy them for 2.99 or lower if they're on sale.

I have tried most flavors

Here is a group review of a bunch of the flavors that we did over at Candy Addict. Good stuff, in general. I didn't care for the Maya Gold though.

Interesting that you conversely found the spices too overpowering. I've resampled and am still getting more orange than spice. I wonder if they changed the recipe, or if the ones we get in Canada are slightly different?

Hazelnuts and currants is REALLY good.

[psychlops]

I want to try this, as I LOVE hazelnut, but I'm a little weary of the idea of currants in my chocolate.

If you actually dislike currants, it might not be a good idea I guess. But I'd never had them before, and I thought they were just a lot like raisins, only a a little more "delicate" I guess.
