This week’s Adventure Snack is actually three different Adventure Snacks! We had the lovely company of Grace’s BFF, A, over the weekend, so we gave him the super-important honor of choosing the week’s snack. He was having a hard time deciding between two bacon candies, so we decided to do a bacon-themed adventure. :)
So as not to unleash an overwhelming amount of bacon-ocity on you at once, we’ll do these one at a time. Are you ready???
Charlie the Unicorn Very Bacon Powder
This candy is a very fine powder (think the consistency of flour) with little clumps of something I can only assume is “bacon bit” in nature. I, essentially, felt like this stuff was an affront to the universe. A was slightly more impressed (and continued to eat). Grace said she thought the stuff was pretty good, but I noticed that she made no attempt to go back for more. ;) *

Yep, this candy is seriously called Pig Boogers. They’re little candies shaped like Nerds, and they seem to be candy-coated bacon bits. And they are oh-so-wrong. Just wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. We all tried these at the same time, and we all had simultaneous looks of horror, revulsion, and betrayal on our faces. These could quite possibly be the most disgusting thing I have ever consumed…and I have tried some weird stuff, y’all. Also noteworthy: We all observed that this candy smelled suspiciously like dog treats. Yikes!

0 Happy Sushis! (Seriously…none. They were that bad.)
Okay, this one doesn’t need a lot of explanation…it’s taffy with maple and bacon flavor. That’s all there is to it. Honestly, I was expecting this to be the height of nasty. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it’s actually pretty good! The taffy is a little stronger on the maple than the bacon…which I think works well for something meant to be sweet. Grace and A were also pretty impressed!

*John, having eaten way too much at dinner, and having already had pie for dessert, opted out of this week’s Adventure Snack. I’m wondering, though, if he had some sort of secret intel and just knew better than to get anywhere near those Pig Boogers. ;)

So, what about you? Have you ever tried any of these bacon candies? Have you tried a different style of bacon candy? (Personally, I kind of like the dark chocolate bars with bacon.) If so, what did you think? Do you have any suggestions for future Adventure Snacks? Have you tried anything spiffy and new recently? Any guesses about what the next Adventure Snack will be?
