Unreal Candy - Anybody try them?

Unreal claims to make their candy products using only "natural" ingredients. No corn syrup,hydrogenated oils, preservatives or GMOs.

All of that is likely true but the candy is terrible. Tastes awful.
Me no like. Anybody out there try them?

One of the Unreal products that I tried was their version of a peanut butter cup. It had no flavor at all other than a mild sweetness. No taste of peanuts or peanut butter.

My 3 year old grandson doesn't like them either. And he is a candy monster.

They aren't "bad", just not as good as I had hoped (the "candy coated chocolate with peanuts&quot .

but the price was terrible. Maybe it's just my CVS or maybe it's MD but they wanted like 3x the price of other candy manufacturers and AFAIK they don't make a malted-milk ball.

Those are my favorite. Malted-milk balls (like Whoppers) and peanut-butter cups.

I got their version of M&Ms. They were okay. Not worth what they're charging for them, however.

It was alright, no better or worse than other typical mass marketed candy bars.

I think the "health" hype is beyond stupid for a product that has virtually no nutritional value. It's still junk food.
