My favorite has always been Green Apple, which is green with stripes of grey. Cherry and Lime would be my runners-up. ---

Bristling with flavor! I’d be curious to try but just need maybe an inch or two cracked off of one. ---

I’m thinking of a recipe for which I’d use it. I’d crush the candy, mix it with sour cream, spices and put it on some bread/crackers. ---
