Life Savers\u2019 creamy hole-less cousins are back after a decade hiatus.<\/p>\n
Creme Savers were one of my grandmother\u2019s favorite candies, so I\u2019ve always had a special fondness for them. Throughout my childhood, she\u2019d always have them in a bowl with Chocolate Riesen and packs of Pez sans dispensers for some reason.<\/p>\n
I recall enjoying Creme Savers the most, so I was pretty excited when I heard they were coming back in orange and strawberry creme flavors.<\/p>\n
Then I had them and realized some things are best left in the past.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
At the risk of lending credence to a stereotype\u2026 these are even more \u201cgrandma candy\u201d than I remember.<\/p>\n
I had an inkling what to expect because of the \u201ccreme\u201d of it all, but they have that same mouth coating \u201cwarmness\u201d to them that a Werther\u2019s Original or butterscotch have. Does that make sense? I\u2019m not asking for mint adjacent refreshment, but when I eat a hard candy, I at least want it to invigorate me a little. These things are dull – the candy equivalent of warm milk.<\/p>\n
Well, to be fair, Orange is extremely dull. Strawberry is actually pretty solid overall.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure how a citrus fruit managed to lay dormant, but the creme overpowers the orange to the point it tastes like the ghost of an orange swimming in some Greek yogurt. It\u2019s cloying and will leave you grasping for a glass of water. I was expecting Creamsicle, but instead, I got cream-sick\u2026 Nah, I\u2019m bailing on this dumb pun just like I bailed on this flavor. I\u2019ll be giving the rest of the bag away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Strawberry, on the other hand, is pleasant. It\u2019s not great, but it\u2019s easily the better of the two. The strawberry shines so much more than the orange, and since I can\u2019t shake the overall \u201cyogurt-ness\u201d of these candies, it makes sense because strawberry is a far superior yogurt fruit. This is more along the lines of what I remembered. I\u2019ll have no problem finishing the bag.<\/p>\n
While I may not love these, they absolutely live up to their name. As I mentioned above, short of a Werther\u2019s or butterscotch, these are probably the creamiest \u201csucking candy\u201d I\u2019ve ever had. It really lingers for way too long.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t shake the fact that these taste like hardened discs of fruit-flavored yogurt, and that\u2019s not really what I was hoping for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I guess my memory of Creme Savers faded over the years. I\u2019m still happy to see them back, and I appreciate them if only for making me think of my grandmother\u2019s weird candy dish.<\/p>\n
I know these survived overseas while they were discontinued in the US, so maybe we\u2019ll see some more flavors hit shelves in time. I\u2019m always up for Banana Creme anything.<\/p>\n
As far as I know, Creme Savers are currently only available at Big Lots, but they seem to be branching out to other retailers soon. Keep an eye on its Instagram account if you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n
