There’s something very comfortable about the package of this candy. The colours, the flowers and the cow give this candy a very small town village feel. You’d think that inside this wrapper is something that will just make you warm and fuzzy inside when you eat it. I feel like the people who designed this either had a way with marketing, or that it might be based on a classic old fashioned candy from the Ukraine (I say Ukraine because that’s where this is from).

The problem is, that’s not at all what this candy is. It’s a simple candy sure, but it doesn’t really feel hand made or old fashioned at all. It’s a very square piece of hard fudge, with no real traceable flavour at all. Maybe it’s honey, and that’s where the flowers come in. Maybe it’s just cream flavoured, and that explains the cow. It really just tasted sweet, with a crunch that kind of eventually melted in my mouth, but it also was a little gritty too.

I don’t want to say I hated this candy, but I can’t really think of any reason why I might buy it again. If someone gifted me one of these candies I’d likely be happy enough to accept and eat it, but I don’t think I’d ever go searching for it, or even if I stumbled upon it I might choose to pass it by. My only guess might be then that the old fashioned package has something to do with this candy being nostalgic for the people of the Ukraine. If that’s true, I apologies if you think it wrong that I wasn’t really excited about your classic candy. I understand that nostalgia is a strong force, and you’re not wrong for liking this candy in any way. I’m just too old now to gain that much new nostalgia, so for now I’ll just have to find my own weird and possibly horrible treats to eat that will bring me back to my childhood.
