Hi again!
Since it's now Summertime lets talk about another summer treat I got from Japan when I last visited.
Mint treats are quite a hit during the summer time, with lots of different candies and treats featuring mint and their other cooling derivative flavours. I can't entirely remember the price but it's somewhere between 100-200 yen.
Of course you can find these year around in some countries, but I've yet to find this combination around here and that makes me sad. Because I love any and all things mint. But I have been seeing more M&M flavours pop up around these parts so maybe we will actually get some mint flavoured ones eventually ;)
The M&Ms themselves look like your bog standard crispy M&Ms, significantly larger than the regular chocolate ones and comes in shades of white, dark and light green. These unfortunately cracked because we're experiencing a heat wave and my candy took a bit of damage =\

They're nice and crunchy (but not
like a malteaser, those are much tougher) but with a strong cool mint flavour
from the moment it hits your tongue. The crisp is very slightly salty, the
middle of it is green.
The chocolate however is not unlike what
you get in a regular M&M, though they taste less sweet. The cooling effect is
restricted to mainly the shell alone so it doesn't permeate the entire candy.
Spire sez: It's a cool candy (pun intended) which I wouldn't mind getting again (imagine it as an ice cream topping!) but I've yet to see it a 2nd time.
