New experience of having candy.
The Vivid Candy offers a distinctive texture, with a crisp outer layer and a soft interior that makes it stand out among other candy treats. The fun videos on TikTok were what initially drew me to try it. There are different ways to enjoy it but I only tried eating it as is and slightly warmed with microwave, with the latter enhanced the overall experience.
The vendor was also accommodating in allowing a mix-and-match selection rather than limiting to a single flavour, which added variety and value. My tub came with four flavours and I particularly liked the lime coconut variant for its more familiar flavour.
Overall, Vivid Candy is a unique treat that will definitely appeal to those looking for a novel texture and flavour experience.
Absolutely love it — the strawberry crunch with creamy choc-mint center is addictive. Fun to snap, so satisfying to eat, and even better microwaved and torched. Easily one of my favourite flavours.
