Candy Club March 2018 Review
First, you'll receive a vellum envelope with info and nutritional facts on all of your candies this month.
There is a short description of the candy on one side of the card.
And nutritional facts on the other. I personally never read these, but it's nice to have for those who wanna know!
Ferrara Pan Jawbusters
Your first candy comes as individually wrapped mystery sweets that are sprinkled into the box with the other candies that you choose or have been chosen for you. This month, they've sent these "Jawbusters" that are just how they sound: a different brand of the widely used "Jawbreaker" name. I received 11 of these that were tucked into the corners of the box as well as on top of my other candy containers. I'm a big fan of these multi-colored hard candies that almost feel like you can bust a tooth on.
Vidal Sour Jelly Clothes Pegs
I prefer to choose my candy as opposed to having them selected for me, so when I got the email prompt, I went straight to the website to browse. Working in (mostly clothing) retail most of my life, I couldn't help myself when I saw these gummy clothespins. They seemed like such a strange subject to turn into a sour candy, so I had to have them. I"ll say that these aren't very gummy at all- they are on the hard side of gummies, but I like them! They are chewy while still being slightly soft and coated in sour powder. Once you start eating them and get past how soft you thought they'd be, they're pretty hard to stop going for. Unlike the sour belts I've gotten from Candy Club in the past, these aren't super duper sour and are much easier to eat. Fruity goodness!
Albanese Triple Dipped Malt Milk Balls
I may say that a lot of things are my FAVES, but I have to say it again here. Malted milk balls are some of my favorite candy of all time and THESE. ARE. HUGE. I didn't realize how large they'd be when I chose them, but when they arrived, I was shocked. Being the malt enthusiast I am, I popped the entire thing into my mouth, but some may choose to bite it in half for a more manageable size. The triple-chocolate covering the milky malt is outrageously creamy which make these the most perfect malted milk balls I've ever had. Whoppers who? Never heard of you.
Arway Mini Yogurt Pretzels
These are called minis, but are the common pretzel size for this sort of thing. Chocolate covered pretzels are wonderful, but sometimes you want to pretend you're healthy and go for the yogurt-covered ones instead. These are the perfect cure for any savory/sweet craving you may be having. Creamy yogurt over crunchy salted pretzels is just divine!
Verdict: Candy Club sent me an *estimated* 3 lbs of candy in four varieties (three that I chose, plus one surprise). I've noticed that when I choose my candy I always love the box a great deal more than when they send me random selections because I am super picky. This isn't a cheap subscription by most standards, but I can see it being really fun for someone who stocks candy at home or their office who doesn't want to bother with heading to the local bulk candy store and shoveling different candies into bags to share with friends and family.
To Wrap Up:

Value Breakdown: At $38.98 for this box on the month-to-month plan, if we use their "up to three pounds" weight as an estimate, you’re paying about $12.99 per pound of candy.
