Complain
The value for money is not great as it is £10 for this pack which seems steep to me
disappointing as they cost a lot of money
pricey
strange flavours
but some flavours are not the best
I found there is also a ginger/cinnamon flavour type which I didnt like at all, unfortunately
maybe that's not what salt water taffy means
Salt content is not given
they do taste salty
These are obviously sugary sweets
aren't nearly as sweet or sickly as you might expect from sugary sweets
none of the sweets have strong tastes
Not as chewy as our toffee
found it chewier than most toffees
it does stick to your teeth quite badly
Love
Its delicious
They do mostly taste fruity
very tasty on the whole
Great variety of flavours
the flavours are quite enjoyable
Great flavour
These are really interesting sweets
I absolutely loved these sweets
Unique sweet treat
Interesting tastes some of them are amazing with the added sea salt taste some of them i was not sure
The salt was quite nice
I really enjoyed this pack of salt water taffy
consistent chew that doesn't overstay its welcome
there are certainly similar soft chews available
They are nice and chewy and soft
