A friend of our's in the USA sent us these Sour Patch Kids - Lollipop with Sour Candy Dipping Powder as part of a candy swap recently. There are two flavours of lollipops and candy dipping powder, which we would likely call sherbet in the UK. There is Pink Raspberry flavour and also Red Berry flavour. Apparently these are our friend's favourite sweets, which I can understand, as sherbet Dip Dabs are a big favourite of mine in this country.
Pink Raspberry flavour
On tearing open the packet I found that there was a lollipop and some sherbet inside As you can see from the photograph there was a nice pink lollipop with a smiley face and curly moulded hair. I found that you only get enough candy dipping powder to cover the hair of the lollipop. Unless my memory serves me incorrectly you get much more sherbet in a Sherbet Dip Dab. We'll have to send a packet of Dip Dabs in the next candy swap box.
This Pink Raspberry flavour does taste pretty sour. It tastes of pink raspberries, and is really tasty, not face twistingly sour, but a good sour zing. The lollipop is quite large for the amount of candy dipping powder you get in the pack. Maybe it's to keep the calories down to around 60 calories, but compared to the size of the lollipop, there could have easily been two or three times the amount of sherbet that was provided. It just needs more of the sour dip to cover the size of the lollipop, otherwise this Pink Raspberry flavour Sour Patch Kids - Lollipop with Sour Candy Dipping Powder is perfect for my sour sweet cravings.
The packets really need an easier way to open them, as I was nibbling and biting away at the corners trying to get purchase like a starving child. I'm not sure what the fruit flavour of the lollipop is supposed to represent exactly, but the red cheerful faced lollipop tastes a little like a blackberry and cherry mix. It's certainly fruity, but once I'd tried the Pink Raspberry flavour I was already hooked on that flavour. There was the same amount of candy dipping powder in the bottom of the packet. This Red Berry flavour is slightly sour, but not as sour as the Pink Raspberry flavoured version.
I certainly appreciated trying both of these flavours of Sour Patch Kids - Lollipop with Sour Candy Dipping Powder. I have to admit that if I saw these two packets in a shop I'd go straight for the Pink Raspberry flavour every time. However I did like them both, but the addition of a slight cherry flavour to the Red Berry lollipop swayed it for me. I've never been a fan of cherries!
