Scripture Candy, Coffee Cappuccino Flavored Hard Candy 2.5 LB Bag, 180 Pieces

This 2.5 pound bag is full of individually wrapped hard candy with various messages of Scripture and notations of the corresponding Bible verse on each piece. These are perfect for those who want to pass along Biblical messages or simply enjoy having a treat while reading words on the wrappers that may invoke comfort or religious reminders to people who don't mind or who seek out words of faith. I put several in my purse and have enjoyed sharing them with others because the Scriptures are easy to see as the words take up one side of the wrapper. They're a nice giftable addition to cards or other gifts if giving them to someone who will appreciate words from the Bible. The candy is cappuccino-flavored, and while I get a brief burst of coffee when I first pop one in my mouth, it doesn't last long and tastes more like toffee to me. I'm grateful for that because I'm not wild about coffee and I worried they'd give me coffee-breath. Fortunately, that was a silly fear that never came to fruition. A serving is 2 pieces of candy and there are 95 servings per bag. Each serving is 50 calories and the candy is dairy-free. There is an allergen note on the package that the candy contains soy. While distributed by Scripture Candy, Inc. out of Birmingham, Alabama, the candy is made in Pakistan.

These small, round hard candies have a nice coffee flavor, although it does seem to wane a bit after the first few minutes. Reminds me of "coffee nips" candy my mother used to buy when I was a kid. Each piece has 25 calories and about 5 grams of carbs. There is a Scripture saying on each wrapper. I haven't looked at every piece, but there seems to be a good variety.

Ok, first, these are not to be used as fortune cookies, though some of them read like advice. Each piece has a Bible verse on it, and ingredients/allergen information on the back, and a warning that small children can choke on hard candy. All good info to have. The bag is chock full of individually wrapped pieces of coffee flavored hard candy, lovely with a decorative swirl. I'm enjoying one now, and the flavor is absolutely lovely, a coffee and cream mix that's sweet with enough of the characteristic bitterness of coffee to blend nicely and not be too sweet. The candy is made in Pakistan, and my only quibble is that palm oil is an ingredient. Overall they're delish and I'd happily try other flavors.

TASTE The cappuccino flavor hits instantly, its bold and sweet with no bitter undertone that I could detect. I kept the candy for about 5-6 minutes before giving in to the urge to chew it. The flavor lasted the entire time although towards the end it was either beginning to diminish or I was just getting used to it. PRESENTATION Each piece is individually wrapped with the wrapper itself containing a verse from Scripture. Not having gone through every single piece in this very large bag I cannot say if there are any repeats but I've not seen anything thus far. I thought this was a very neat idea and good way to inspire contemplation. ALLERGY WARNING - CONTAINS SOY As noted clearly on the bad, this product contains soy. I didn't see this mentioned in the product description so I'm including it in my review. Photo attached of the full nutritional facts label.

The candy has a strong and pleasant coffee flavor, but the texture is quite hard and takes some time to dissolve in the mouth. The Bible verses on the wrappers are a unique touch and could make for a nice addition to a religious-themed gift or event. However, if you're not interested in the verses, it's just an added detail that doesn't affect the taste or quality of the candy itself. Overall, it's a decent coffee-flavored candy with an extra touch of religious inspiration.
