after dinner sneeze

t says:  Those who know me know that I have a ginormous sweet tooth.  They also know that I eat a LOT of Tasty Kake Kandy Kakes.  Hell, I’ve already even posted about them once, where I looked at this “brownie edition” that they had.  I was not impressed.  There was no filling, and the “kake” part of it wasn’t good – it wasn’t very cakey (i.e. too dense), and it wasn’t very brownie-y (i.e. not dense enough).

Lo and behold.  Look what I found!

Brownie Kandy Kake - version 2.0

I was intrigued.  And, anticipating a long time at home (this was right before Hurricane Irene came to town), I bought two boxes.  There was just too much potential to risk losing out on this “limited edition” variety.

I got it home and ate one immediately.

Not exactly like on the box, but still delicious-looking!

It … was … awesome.  The kake was as light-and-fluffy as the original – but chocolate!  The peanut butter was thickly laid on, and the chocolate robe was as pristine as the original.  Hurray!  So here we go – my final ranking of Kandy Kake varieties:

1.  “Doublicious” Double-stuffed Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes – that’s right, double the peanut butter of the original – so delicious
2.  <TIE> Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes – the chocolate has a little more bitter oomph than in the original – plays an interesting counterpoint to the rich peanut butter
2. <TIE>  Peanut Butter Brownie Kandy Kakes- reviewed above
4.  Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes (the original!)
5.  Hippity Hops / Ghostly Goodies: I’ve had these before – I’d eat one if it was unwrapped sitting in front of me, but not if there are any normal/original ones around.
6.  Chocolate Kandy Kakes (the one with the creme filling – ugh – gross) – I’d not eat one of these even if it was unwrapped sitting in front of me.
7.  Brownie Kandy Kakes – if there was one of these unwrapped sitting in front of me, I’d take it and throw it away just so no one else makes the mistake of eating one.
