Claeys hard candy selections include five from my hard candy hit list: black licorice, anise, wild cherry, cinnamon and lemon drops. They also have fudge if you need to chomp into your candy without breaking off a tooth.

| They're shaped like lemon drops |
The Claeys drops are refreshing and tantalizing like the perfect soda fountain phosphate. They pack a root beer punch without being too sweet and have a soft crunchable coating that may turn into chewable left over slivers. Mmm, bag bottom bonus.

| Well I smell something |
Handsome Bob highly recommends them by smell alone. At least I think that's what he's smelling. The flavor stays with you leaving a pleasant, light taste on your tongue. It reminds me of a good soda and hints at fizz without being fizzy. Bobby Boy says it reminds him of Oliver's butt.

They have 13g of sugar and 50 calories for three pieces and cost a dollar. Each piece is the size of an average lemon drop. A quick online search shows single 6 oz bags at Rau's Country Store for $1.39 and at Old Time Candy for $2.19. Amazon is selling the same 6 oz bags for $4.65 as Ad-on items (really, Amazon?).
Looks tasty!

I wish you could reach out and try one, Kelleyn.
DeleteI like the root beer candy. Root beer fudge sounds interesting. Not sure if I'd like it without the fizz.
ReplyDeleteThat brand of candy also has lemon drops and cherry and horehound. I like the cherry ones.
The fudge didn't have any fizz but this Claeys hard candy reminds me of a soda fountain drink. I probably got the root beer fudge at this place in Baraboo--no longer there :)

Yummy! I need to find these to share with my root beer loving preteen! I'l skip the anise and licorice, though, as they aren't my thing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Either you love or hate black licorice, Shan. We grew up on finocchio so love the taste. Only a buck for a bag of these at the dollar store.
DeleteI would love to taste it.
ReplyDeleteOne of our taste testers preferred the grocery store brand I got at HyVee but these are my favs by a long shot.
DeleteI can never find root beer barrels, and I love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/08/sweetheart-in-sepia.html
One of the Dish taste testers had the same problem so I often buy root beer barrels when I see them. I love getting candy at hardware stores, they always have some unique, inexpensive stuff.
DeleteThey sound yummy, it's been a while since I tasted that root beer flavour :)
ReplyDeleteI kind of go in cycles but since my favorite gourmet candy store moved out I'm going back to basics.
DeleteRoot beer and wild cherry would be my favorites. Okay the lemon too.
ReplyDeleteThe pups are adorable.
Have a fabulous day. ☺
I'm a little surprised they don't make butter rum or butterscotch, maybe they'll send some samples if I ask nicely (;
DeleteYes, Handsome Bob is deceptively cute (unlike his grumpy and cra-cra personality).
I love root beer and these sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum.Cheery for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up.
Wild Cherry
DeleteI like Claeys Lemon Drops... they are the best. Your pups are cute.

I love root beer and most things root beer flavored!
ReplyDeleteI am not a big candy eater so have never tried root beer candy but have recently enjoyed licorice which I never used to like ;-) Your dog is very cute. I like your living room carpet too. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a kind comment. Hope to visit you again and please stop by any time.
ReplyDeleteHello, I love the cute puppy dogs. I remember these root beer candies. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cute little dog :-)
ReplyDeleteThe furbabies are sooo cute. I love the Dollar Store for the chocolate drops that can find some times that are like what we always got as a kid at Christmas when I was growing up. They're white cream on onside. :)
