If you've followed our blog for a while, you know that we really get a kick out of candy that looks like other stuff. For example, there are candies that look like other foods, such as our gummy hamburgers and hot dogs. There are candies that look like non-food items, like chocolate coins or rocks, or even gummy army men. And then there is today's featured item: Yum Yum Marshmallow Candy Cones.
These little wonders are perhaps the greatest of the lookalikes because they're made of our favorite thing ever--candy--and they resemble our second favorite thing ever: ice cream! Each one is made of an actual tiny ice cream cone topped 
with a colorful swirl to create the perfect bite-sized (or bite-and-a-half-sized!) snack. Even better, they're naturally fat free! Beat that, real ice cream!
Another cool feature of these micro cones is that they won't get all drippy and turn your whole arm into a sticky mess on a hot day like real ice cream does. They do, however, change texture a bit with the weather, so depending on where you live and when you purchase them, the marshmallow may be rather crispy or perhaps more soft and fluffy. It kind of brings to mind the whole "fresh Peeps" vs. "stale Peeps" debate. Either way, we think they're pretty tasty!
Jimmy Sweet Tooth says: These are such fun little snacks! They're a bit sweet, a bit crispy, and a bit chewy. That covers all the bases for me! Plus, they're easier to deal with than an actual ice cream cone. No scooping, no melting, and you can keep them right in the pantry, or on the counter, or on your nightstand...You know, wherever you might need a snack close by! :)
