\"Brach<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Brach\u2019s has paired the mini version of its classic candy corn with sea salt peanuts coated in chocolate. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Brach<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve often thought Brach\u2019s has the best flavor and texture of candy corn, even though it\u2019s not as cute as, say, Jelly Belly\u2019s version. These mini corns are proportionally smaller, with the length being about 75 percent of the original. They are about as good as plain candy corn can be.<\/p>\n

\"Brach<\/p>\n

The chocolate-covered peanuts are a tasty candy. The sea salt is a welcome addition to the current sweet-and-salty fad. The chocolate isn\u2019t bad, but it\u2019s obviously from a company that doesn\u2019t focus on chocolate.<\/p>\n

\"Brach<\/p>\n

The two components are fine as they are. But when you eat them at the same time, some kind of autumnal magic creates a wonderful treat that is better than either element on its own. It reminds me of a (somewhat inferior) Snickers or Baby Ruth, with the candy corn taking the place of the caramel and nougat. If they sold these in bar form, I would totally buy it. The peanuts and salt balance out the overly sweet nature of candy corn, and the chocolate bridges the gap.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

I wondered if there was a magic ratio of peanuts to candy corn that made these taste the best, but I haven\u2019t found it. It\u2019s all good. <\/p>\n

\"Brach<\/p>\n

Also, candy corn is supposed to look like harvest-time maize, but if they wanted to make it into a gross-out Halloween candy, they could make it look like the corns on your feet.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

I doubt this mix will convert any candy corn haters, but for those of us who enjoy (or at least tolerate) the fall standby, this is a delightful upgrade.<\/p>\n
