See's Scotchmallow Bar

Photobucket
Is there a way to make caramel and marshmallow better?
As a matter of fact the answer is YES!

Try adding just a touch of honey. The See's Scotchmallow bar and individual piece of candy is milk chocolate drenched honey marshmallow with a thick ribbon of caramel.

Once again, the milk chocolate is classic See's. Creamy and strong on the dairy. The marshmallow is the part I love the most. There is a good half inch of marshmallow! it's smooth and soft, the honey comes right through but is not so strong that it reminds you of cough drops. And let us not forget the caramel, it's buttery and sticks to the roof of your mouth (in a good way) If you have ever heard the Suzanne Vega song "Caramel" I think it may have been this caramel that she was referring to.

This is one of those candies that I can't stop saying good things about.

See's Milk Bordeaux Bar

Photobucket
See's Candies are one of those things about California that I didn't realize I would miss until after I had been gone.
While sadly for the those of you not on the West Coast or the couple of Mid-West states that have full blown See's stores to get your fix you either have to order online or wait until around the holidays when most malls get a kiosk location. The Kiosks sadly do not carry the full range of See's products but they do feature some of the best sellers and thanks to that I had been able to get my fix for one of my most beloved See's candy; the Bordeaux bar.

Both the Bordeaux bar and it's smaller individual single bite piece is a brown sugar buttercream that is enrobed in a thick coating of milk chocolate and covered in chocolate sprinkles. Really how hard would this have to try to not be good?

From the moment it's in your mouth it starts melting in a warm river of milky goodness. There is a really strong dairy component to the chocolate. The Brown Sugar buttercream is smooth and sweet- almost like a eating a pinch of soft brown sugar. But at the same time it is not so sweet that it causes your teeth to ache.

I am noit a huge fan of buttercream filled candy but I love these.
