Like A Kid In A (Cyber) Candy Shop

Scribbled out my address in Paint - don't want it all over the internet, of course!

I must admit, I was getting just a tad envious of all the bloggers that I had seen sampling various goodies from Cyber Candy, so you can imagine my surprise and joy when I found a lovely email from the amazing Libby, asking if I'd like to review some of their wares...Well, I didn't need asking twice...Chocolate? Yes please! 

Cyber Candy specialise in selling those cult confectionery products that are hard to get hold of here in the UK.Don't be fooled though, they also stock extreme foods such as scorpion lollipops(!!) and cricket sweets for the more daring amongst us.

She told me to let her know what I'd like to try and she'd get some samples sent out to me. This is where the first problem came in - Steve came to have a look too - and no word of a lie, he sat, browsing all the different items for ages before whittling it down to a shortlist of ten. That's right, TEN.   In the end, I had to email Libby the shortlist and ask her to pick a few from the list, as we just couldn't decide amongst ourselves! I was secretly hoping for the M&M Coconut flavour and I know Steve would have been happy with a packet of Reese's...so what did we receive?

I'd heard a lot about Hershey's Milk Duds* over the years, from various sources. Friends who had been to the US, various blogs and US TV programmes that constantly name check them. I was pleased to see them included, as these have always been on my to-try list. They weren't unlike Rolos - just a different shape. Super yummy though!

Reeses Pieces* are one of those strange products - you can sometimes find them in the UK, other times not - I think it all counts on being in the right place at the right time, as I know these are extremely popular both sides of the Atlantic! These were Steve's favourite out of the three, especially as he got to scoff almost all the bag to himself! As I'm not a fan of peanut butter myself, I was happy to let Steve munch his way through them but I did want to try just one to see what they were like. Considering I can't stand peanut butter at all, these were actually quite pleasant. Definitely a must-have for peanut butter fans!

Yes, M&Ms Coconut!* As you can imagine, I was over the moon to see these included! They were absolutely heavenly, a real treat for a hot summers day. I definitely want to have these again, they are by far the best flavour M&Ms do!

I must say I am suitably impressed with everything Cyber Candy have to offer. Libby was extremely friendly and answered any questions I had efficiently and quickly. The service was quick, I received these within two days of sending Libby my choices and as you can see, they were packed well to prevent any damage! (I loved the colourful packaging, they themselves reminded me of sweets-perhaps that's the point?) 

I am planning to have a little spree on the website over the next couple of days so I can have the opportunity to try out a few more of the products on my wishlist! All I have to do now is persuade Steve to let me use his debit card...do you think the promise of Reeses will sway him?

Have you ever tried anything from Cyber Candy? What did you think?
