Peelable candy has been around for a few years, and it went viral a couple of years ago in the US when Walgreens\u2019 Nice brand peelable mango candy was trending on TikTok. If you\u2019re not familiar, the candy features a chewy edible exterior that peels off to reveal a super soft interior. Despite it being as popular as it was and knowing of its existence all this time, Favorite Day\u2019s Peelable Tropical Banana and Sweet Mango are the first ones I\u2019ve ever tried.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Why now? I\u2019d have to say this was an impulsive buy as I passed the Easter\/Spring section at Target on my way to checkout. I\u2019m a sucker for artificial banana flavor (see my love for banana Runts), so the bright yellow banana on the bag beckoned me to buy it. After grabbing the bag, I decided it wouldn\u2019t hurt if I also picked up the mango one.<\/p>\n
After peeling, I was underwhelmed with what seems to make them so appealing. (Nope, I will not swap the second A with an E in “appealing.” My conscious will not let me do it.) <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
These are harder to peel than actual bananas and mangos. I used my fingernail to dig into the skin or bit an end off to be able to start to peel the exterior off. I\u2019m not sure if other brands are easier, but I was surprised I had to use a little brute force to rip off the peel. But once you get past one side, the rest becomes easier. After, you\u2019re left with a payoff that might make you think you\u2019re a contestant on Survivor and participating in a bug eating contest. The banana one looks like a tropical worm larva, while the mango one looks like poisonous tropical worm larva. Mmm\u2026larva?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The skins are edible, with the flavors of their respective fruits, and they seem to have almost the same fruity intensity as the worm larva looking things inside of them. While they look bug-ish, the interior candy has a delightful softness that puts Albanese gummy bears to shame. Both flavors are splendid, and I liked them equally. Although, if you find banana Runts repulsive, you\u2019ll think the same about the banana one. As for the mango one, it has a delicious flavor that tastes more natural than the banana. <\/p>\n
While I do love their flavors, I\u2019m not a fan of the peeling. But there\u2019s no rule that I have to do it. So as I\u2019ve been going through each bag, I\u2019ve just been popping them into my mouth, skin and all, like I\u2019m a hippo being fed watermelons at the zoo. <\/p>\n
