We
love it when a manufacturer goes all the way with
something. As an example, let's look at Crackheads
Candy.
The
candy is actual roasted espresso coffee beans, covered
with delicious white and dark chocolate. Because there
is an actual espresso bean inside each one, the candy
has a hefty kick of caffeine.
So,
the candy maker has this candy with an addictive
ingredient. Do they name it something acceptable like
"Choco Beans" or "Espress-o-riffic?"
Nope. They name it after the most addictive drug of
all time -- crack cocaine.
When
we first saw Crackheads candy, we thought it was a
joke. But after eating some, we discovered it is
really delicious. Each box of Crackheads (we love
typing that name) contains 1.3 ounces of Crackheads.
The back of the box includes a diagram of a caffeine
molecule, and boasts that espresso has more caffeine
than just about anything else.
Is
it addictive? Well, with the combination of creamy
dark and light chocolate, crunchy tasty espresso bean,
and caffeine kick, you're gonna find yourself craving
more. We are happy to report, though, (as far as we
know) Crackheads Candy contains no crack
cocaine.
