In August, I feverishly go from store to store, trying to find new Halloween\/fall products to review for this site. I know all the grocery stores near my home and my places of employment.<\/p>\n
Oddly enough, I couldn\u2019t find these Sour Patch Kids Apple Harvest at any of the usual stores. Instead, after a random tip in my Facebook feed, I finally found them at Michael\u2019s, of all places.<\/p>\n
New candy seems out of place at a craft store. But this particular candy also seems out of place with the Sour Patch Kids moniker.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
These apple-shaped pieces come in three flavors: cranberry apple (red), apple cider (tan), and caramel apple (green).<\/p>\n
The most startling thing to me is that these are nowhere near as sour as regular Sour Patch Kids. They\u2019re mildly sour, but not very much. They also are not nearly as colorful as regular SPK. I wondered if they might have used natural colors, but nope, there on the ingredients list are Yellow 5, Red 40, and Blue 1. And I do think they\u2019re softer than regular SPK, so there\u2019s less of a jaw workout.<\/p>\n
As for the flavors, cranberry apple really does taste like cranberry. There\u2019s a mild bitterness that you might expect in cranberry sauce, but the apple makes it less pronounced. Apple cider tastes most authentic and has the most noticeable apple flavor. And caramel apple has a strong caramel flavor, albeit an artificial one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Look, I really want to love these. They feel like a more sophisticated version of SPK. And yet, they just aren\u2019t as good. They fit with the apple-scented potpourri or candles you might find at a craft store. They need to be more sour. As is, they\u2019re just a generic apple candy.<\/p>\n
These are called Sour Patch Kids, but they are neither Sour nor Kids. That leaves us with Patch. But that doesn\u2019t work either because apples grow in orchards, not patches.<\/p>\n
I feel like Michael\u2019s is an expensive place to buy candy. If you want to try these, wait until they make their way to a cheaper store. They\u2019re just not worth Michael\u2019s prices.<\/p>\n
