President’s Choice Product Reviews Part 1

President's Choice Gourmet Sour Jelly Beans

Oh I love this time of year when the President’s Choice Insider’s Report comes out and I get a sneak peek and taste of their new treats!

Gourmet Sour Jelly Beans

President's Choice Gourmet Sour Jelly Beans

I was super excited about the PC Gourmet Sour Jelly Beans right away. Normally I find jelly beans way too sweet for me so a sour version (I LOVE all things sour) was a great update on a classic candy. 
The results? These sour apple, cherry, orange, grape and lemon candies definitely are tangy and sour but I wish they had gone REALLY sour. Over-the-top-sour. Still, I loved them and thought they were quite clever. I give this product four out of five wooden spoons. Still safe for all ages to eat and will bring a little surprise to a traditional foodie treat.

The jelly beans come in a 250g pouch and are $3.99. Not something I would buy every day but for a treat? Absolutely.

The Decadent Chocolate Chip Mini Bars

President's Choice The Decadent Chocolate Chip Mini Bars

One box of The Decadent Chocolate Chip Mini Bars contains six mini bars that supposedly contain the “crazy-good flavour and richness” of the PC Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies. I must say, I disagree.

President's Choice The Decadent Chocolate Chip Mini Bars

The bar may be covered in the chocolate used to create the chocolate chips but the packaging clearly shows that the bars would contain chocolate chips but ours? I have not come across one yet!

Yes, these are quite tasty but the marketing is way off. I do appreciate that these are made in their peanut-free facility so it is a safe choice for people with nut allergies to eat but they aren’t allergic to chocolate chips!

False advertising annoys me. Even though these are pretty good and only $2.49 a box, I can only give them three out of five wooden spoons. 

Honey Chipotle Kelly Cooked Almonds

President's Choice Honey Chipotle Almonds

Now the Honey Chipotle Kelly Cooked Almonds were totally up my foodies alley! Each almond is absolutely covered in this smokey, very slightly spicy yet sweet coating of flavour that made my knees week. Absolutely addicting, full of flavour… your hands will literally be covered in a tasty salt lick when you are done attacking the $4.99 package.

Super crunchy with mind-blowing flavour, I give this product five out of five wooden spoons!

    Is it wrong of me to want to roll around nekkid in a bathtub full of those jelly beans?

    I still can’t find those jelly beans in our store here!
    And yes, why can’t they make sour candies really sour? It never seems sour enough for me either!

    I think that is actually super cool Debra!

    Alexandra, what a bummer you can’t find them and hey, love that you love sour candies like I do. It’s the best!
