I`m a little nervous about what I have lying in front of me. Chocolate Mix Skittles. I enjoy Skittles, but as I am a chocolate fan, I mostly stick to Resee's and the like. However, as I passed the campus convienence store, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try this odd product.


The Chocolate Mix has five flavors: Vanilla, S’Mores, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Pudding and Brownie Batter. I ended up with only 5 of the brownie batter, with the chocolate pudding running about 20 pieces in my bag.

Chocolate Pudding: Tough textured, tasted like pudding for sure, but more like the skin that forms on the top of the pudding. Not bad, but biting down on it hurt my teeth.

Vanilla: At first bite, the vanilla wasn't overwhelming, then as I chewed it, I began to feel like I had just drank some vanilla flavoring. Way too strong for my taste.

S'mores: My least favorite. The S'mores taste bit the back of my throat, and was almost completely marshmellowy. Like a Jelly Belly, I decided to try the Chocolate Pudding and S'mores together. Much better together than apart as there was just a hint of marshmellow.

Brownie Batter: My teeth sank right into these, then I spit it back out. Not wonder they included only five in the bag. Horrible flavor, nothing like brownie batter, with a nutty aftertaste which reminded me of the after taste of my least favorite Jelly Belly: Buttered Popcorn. Ugh.

Chocolate Caramel: I would love an entire bag of just this. The caramel isn't overwhelming like some of the other flavors in the bag, yet it remains true to the caramel. Not the chocolate however, but it doesn't matter to me on this one.

Even with their dense, chewy texture, they are gluten-free and would make a good sweet treat for someone GF to try at least once. Personally, I doubt I'll buy another bag of these. Unless I have decided to go the route of some Skittle art where these muted colors will be best suited.
