If you know me, you would know I have a soft spot for snacks and I’m always snacking!
Especially chips (given that its uber sinful), chocolates, sweets,
and I can easily use those to substitute my meals instead. Oops!
But I can be a lil picky when it comes to sweets.
I am never a fan of hard sweets but a HUGE fan of gummies and more gummies,
which I think it’s definitely more satisfying for me than popping a hard sweet into my mouth.
Then again, I’m picky again when it comes to the softness chewiness of the gummies,
(and oh yes by now you can guess why I love bubbletea pearls that much),
and it’s a key for me when choosing my gummies to stock up in my bag.
I used to like this penguin gummies that are sold in mama shops, econ minimarts but apparently,
its no where to be found now and I think they stopped production.
That’s a sad thing for me because I can get at least five packs at a time to keep at home,
and always having at least one pack in the bag whenever I’m out.
So anyway, the thing that got me hooked on that gummy is the chewiness and yes, yes, YES!
I found another brand of sweets that has that awesome chewiness texture as well! *bounce*
KATJES
The kind of chewiness that I am talking about is hard to describe but I will try my best. Heh.
It’s the smooth and slimy feeling when you take a bite,
and its not that soft, which thus require a lil strength to chew on it,
and at the same time it doesn’t stick to your teeth!
That’s what I like about it!
I actually tried Katjes before long time ago given that
me- a gummy fan, and them – being known for gummies.
I love their apple flavoured pack in which I think they revised the packing and sweets mixture now.
The best present while introducing to you guys Katjes sweets is that I got to try 5 flavours of their sweets (GUMMIES!!) and that makes me a very happy girl! Sounds like a lil kid huh. :p
I had five flavours to try out and look at all the yummy colours!
Not just pretty, but they taste as good as it seems,
with a good mixture of the different fruits in each packet.
I bet you will definitely take one if the picture above is REAL! Teehee.
It’s not easy to choose my favourite within the whole lot,
but this Berry Delicious (blueberry) gummy was the first one that I tried,
and is easily one of my top three favourites outta the five.
The reason why I am hooked to this was because it tasted as though you were eating a real blueberry except that it had no juice burst out, became chewy and the texture is not as soft. Heh :p
But yes, you get my drift.
The package did mention that it has 20% blueberry juice
and no wonder the blueberry taste was uber rich like a real fruit.
And after letting my friends around me to try,
trust me, I’m not the only one who said that!
And its cute that they were all shaped in cluster of blueberries!!
Mango was the next that I chose to open,
and those that know, mango is my king of fruits albeit the fact that I’m a huge mango fruit fan,
but not a fan of mango related snacks.
But it is always good to give all a first try,
and this mango pack comes with 3 different mixtures!
There is a combination of pure mango gummy,
and a half mixed passionfruit +mango flavour
as well as a mango yoghurt flavour (my favourite!!)
Definitely loving the yoghurt mix (yes, imma great yoghurt fan!!) for the gummies above,
and I’m impressed!! Not only the real fruit taste,
the yoghurt mix was equally convincing!
The pure yellows- mango, the red/yellow- passionfruit + mango,
the white/yellow- mango yoghurt.
Another top 3 of my favourites is this- the BERRY DESSERT!
It has a mixture of everything berries just like the name says
and it has 3 flavours -strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Every single sweet inside is accompanied with a half white flavoured part,
and it tasted just like the yoghurt part of the mango gummy above.
I am quite sure it is, and probably because I LOVE both strawberries and yoghurt,
so I’m gonna vote this pack as my another top 3 favourite outta the five from Katjes! :p
and here comes it, my WINNING FLAVOUR of the top three favourites – Apple & Eve!
This is a slightly different gummy than the rest,
and it’s coated with sugar bits.
It is as similar to the one string of chewy sweet
when you “mix and match” the candies you choose in candy shops!
And I love anything apple, be it fragrance, sweets, taste etc,
plus between sweet and sour, I kinda have a thing for sour tasting food!
So yes, definitely my favourite of the bunch!
Last but not least,
This is the most ordinary out of the bunch,
but has one of the most “exotic” ways of placing the flavours.
The gummies are of different fruit flavours
but the flavours’ names are in popped up words, distinctively on top of the sweet!
As you can see, The yellow sweet was stamped Mango and well,
the red was stamped passionfruite, and the peach one was stamped EXOTIC!
True enough, I cant describe what exact was the taste of the exotic gummy,
but frankly, I like it the best outta all the other combinations in this pack!
Give it a first try at least,
you might realize that you have been wasting money
and rather spend on this sweet earlier instead. Hahaha.
Furthermore, their serving is rather generous, so I would say its value for money!
Plus, just for this month of June,
