Dancing the Charleston

As you may or may not know many people are very passionate about their favourite treats. I get e-mail after e-mail about treats I've reviewed, particularly if people disagree with my reviews. I've even been the subject on other web sites, just because someone disagreed with my opinion. For the most part I don't really react. If you e-mail me, I'll respond to your comment but I'll never change a review. Then one day I got an interesting e-mail. It was all about my "Charleston Chew" review. I was told that I had not tried the bar in it's optimal way, and I must tell you the letter was very passionate. Well, my review will never change. It say's nothing on the package about saying it has to be eaten frozen, but it does recommend trying it. With a passionate e-mail and a suggestion from the creators, I figured I should give it a shot frozen and smashed. Then I thought why not try it both ways and do a review of each, this way we can truly know if their that much better frozen or if your wasting time and energy freezing these treats. So here it is...

The Charleston Challenge (now sing the Charleston song)

First

Room Temperature

This bar is full of chocolaty fun. The taffy is good as it's a little fluffier than most, not that its bad its just different. The chocolate is a nice touch, even though its chocolate on chocolate its still not too overpowering. Honestly every time I bite into one of these things I expect my teeth to be all sticky and think I'm going to be fighting with it just to get a bite out of it, but with the whipped-type taffy it's never like that. As I said in my review, this bar's fine it's just not spectacular.

Second

Frozen

Wow, I have to say I'm impressed. This thing is actually a different kind of treat when you eat it frozen. Well it is for a bit, eventually after chewing it for a while it does turn back into the warm version of itself, but it starts out really nice. It reminds me a little of Astronauts Ice Cream, those not lucky enough to try this snack should go and join your local astronaut camp or whatever you call it when you become a space man, or woman. The one thing I truly liked about this snack is the fact that the flavour was a little more subtle when it was frozen. It then built up to a bigger flavour, but at first it was subtle and just right. If they could some how freeze dry this bars, I really think it would be an improvement because the only disappointment was when it started to melt in my mouth.
