This popular confection combines the crunchy texture of small, irregularly shaped candies with a sweet, often tangy, coating. Frequently distributed during the autumn holiday, these items offer a varied textural and flavor experience compared to traditional chocolate bars or hard candies.
Their appeal stems from the unique blend of sweet and sour elements, as well as the satisfying crunch provided by the numerous small components. The bite-sized nature of individual pieces also contributes to portion control, which can be a consideration during periods of increased candy consumption. The novel combination differentiates it from many other seasonal offerings.
