Even if I start fresh on a new piece, I can\u2019t taste autumn.

It\u2019s soft and chewy, but not so sticky it stays stuck to your teeth. It\u2019s a yummy candy, except for that weird aftertaste. This is <em>not<\/em> a salted caramel flavor, even though the typo on the nutrition label says they\u2019re 276 percent sodium.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Limited-Edition-Werthers-Original-Harvest-Caramels-Pumpkin-Spice-Soft-Caramels-4.jpg?resize=510%2C600\" alt=\"Limited Edition Werther s Original Harvest Caramels Pumpkin Spice Soft Caramels 4\" title=\"Limited Edition Werther's Original Harvest Caramels Pumpkin Spice Soft Caramels 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"510\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Overall, it\u2019s great as a caramel.
