Easter Bunny Corn

Candy corn has always been one of those candies that you don’t know you miss… until you can’t have it. Traditional candy corn typically contains gelatin, albumen, beeswax and honey (which I don’t mind, since I eat honey), so it had been a looong time since I devoured a handful.

Luckily for me, Jelly Belly came out with an awesome Easter candy corn this year called Bunny Corn and since I love Jelly Belly in general, I just had to try it for myself!

Not to mention, PETER RABBIT is on the package! Cmon, who could resist that?

I love the cute little Peter Rabbit toon on the front-- it brings me back!
The colors also added a lovely touch.

The flavor of the Bunny Corn was quite unique– it didn’t taste like regular candy corn, actually, much better! The consistency was nice and creamy. Like it said on the package, it tasted like a “mellocreme,” like a marshmallow/candy corn hybrid.

Taste:  

If the small little 3 oz. package didn’t cost $2.95 + tax, I would probably be stuffing my face with these everyday. Probably a good thing it’s more expensive– it’s a special treat just for Easter.

Price:   (quite pricey)

Scoop a few... or a bunch... up before they hop away!

For a colorful vegan Easter, don’t miss these cute little bunny corn treats. Much better than those yucky Cadbury Eggs!

Spare a bunny this easter! Eat bunny corn.

 

Vegetarian Food Festival 2012

The second NYC Vegetarian Food Festival kicked off this weekend and I had a lot of fun! Sampling, talking to vendors and overall meeting like-minded vegetarian folk made slogging through the crowds all worthwhile. Thankfully, unlike last year’s overcrowded venue, it was a lot easier to actually talk to vendors as well as taste the […]

Wanted: New Shoes

It isn’t everyday that I find an affordable, stylish vegan shoe line that doesn’t necessarily promote themselves as vegan (when they do, it usually comes with an equally vegan price tag, aka SUPER overpriced). I’m not saying that a brand that designates itself as specifically vegan is a bad thing, au contraire, I think it’s great. […]

Food Diaries: Vegan Valentines Day

Valentines day brings a sea of commercial goods lining shelves everywhere, but it also means special menu offerings for vegan diners. I spent my night at Café Blossom on the UWS, where the special $60 three-course menu certainly did not disappoint. Café Blossom has an earthy, modern ambiance, accented by touches of dark mahogany upon a […]

Hotel Tortuga – A Trip to Mini Mexico

Sometimes out of nowhere, I have an uncontrollable craving for messy, filling, Mexican food. It’s during those times I thank my lucky stars for Hotel Tortuga. This homely, yellow-walled little nook transports you to tortilla heaven. The menu is suitable for non-vegans, vegetarians and vegans alike, making it truly versatile for parties with discerning palates… […]
