Chocolate Skittles

will posted 08/21/08 @ 6:46PM EST

Firstly, what the hell, Skittles should not be chocolate. Jackie agrees. Any sort of fruitiness and/or sourness is acceptable, but not chocolate. Now that's out of my system, let's move on to my review.

As you can see, there are five flavors, pictured from left to right: S'mores, Vanilla, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Pudding, Brownie Batter. I will now order them from good to crap.

1. Vanilla
Considering that this is the 'Chocolate Mix', it's not a good sign that vanilla is the best flavor, but it's surprisingly really good. Very flavorful, not overly sweet, and they really nailed the vanilla flavor.

2. Brownie Batter
I don't make brownies, so I can't compare this with actual brownie batter. However, I can imagine that this is what it tastes like; a super moist, gooey brownie. It's very good, but a tad too sweet.

3. S'mores
A very good flavor, but it's only in third place for two reasons. For one, it's way too sweet; I feel like I need a glass of water after eating just one skittle. Secondly, it doesn't really taste like S'mores to me. I would describe it as more caramel like than anything.

4. Chocolate Pudding
This does taste like pudding, but it's the kind of pudding I would expect to get in a hospital. It's not sweet enough, and it somehow manages to taste stale. Chocolate Pudding, you could learn a lesson from Brownie Batter.

5. Chocolate Caramel
Coming in dead last is Chocolate Caramel. This was the first flavor I tried, and was immmediately disappointed with my purchase. Thankfully I tried Vanilla second, and proceeded to retract my regret. Simply put, it has little to no flavor. It's just like eating a sugar skittle, but even the sweetness is dull.

Protip:
Open up the bag, and throw away all of the Chocolate Pudding and Chocolate Caramel flavors. If you want to have a Chocolate Caramel flavor, just eat a S'mores and Chocolate Brownie at the same time. If you want pudding, then too bad, but eating Chocolate Brownie and Vanilla together tastes good too. I can't vouch for Vanilla + S'mores, because as of now, I'm out of skittles.

Godspeed.
