Skittles Chocolate Mix
It’s pretty hard to do chocolate wrong, but every once in a while I come across a product that messes up what you think would be pretty easy. Skittles Chocolate Mix is such a product. What works well with Skittles’ fruit flavors just doesn’t work for chocolate. The creaminess you expect in a chocolate candy is missing, probably because cocoa powder makes up less than 2% of the candy. Their chewy texture and excessive sweetness doesn’t go well with any of the five flavors – s’mores, vanilla, chocolate caramel, chocolate pudding, and brownie batter – each of which is very artificial tasting and not very appealing. If you want some chocolate candies, just buy some M&M’s. I don’t recommend wasting your money on Skittles Chocolate Mix.

Posted by: cheekychalky at May 13, 2008 8:17 AMI couldn't agree more, unfortunately the lady at Wal-Mart gushed about these and I in turn wasted my money on this horrible monster of a snack food.
Posted by: Kenya at May 13, 2008 10:18 AMGotta agree with you on these little "nuggets of nastiness." My wife brought some home from Wally world. She likes them! I thought they were going to be real chocolate!! Talk about an unpleasant surprise!

i actually thought they were good. i was not expecting chocolate but rather a chocolate flavored skittle. i love little flavored sugar pieces. kinda like a circus peanut, tastes nothing like a peanut but i'll eat um.

Posted by: Jonny Blaze at May 30, 2008 3:36 PMI am always trying new things, so I saw this at Ralph's and bought a pack. WHAT A WASTE! Yuk! There was five flavors I think, and all of them were awful. I still see them on the shelf, so I am waiting for them to disappear forever!
Posted by: Candy Lover at June 2, 2008 9:25 PMI actually liked the chocolate skittles. Differnet but tastey
Posted by: Beets at June 12, 2008 2:43 PMI agree. My friends and I got this stuff from the local 7-Eleven, and I was really surprised about the new chocolate flavor. But it turned out to be really gross, probably because I'm used to Skittles candies being slightly sour, not completely sweet.
Posted by: Ellen at July 1, 2008 1:15 PMI agree 100%. These were nasty!
Posted by: Mary at July 11, 2008 1:57 PMI love these! I loved the lime starbursts! Around 1977 or 1978 was the last time I found them.
I have 'Kiwi Banana' in the Tropical Packs, yes that is green, and "Limon" in the Baja packs. And limited edition "Optimus Lime' in the Retro/ Baja packs.
I believe around 1980 was when lime was taken out.
My 6- year- old daughter Zeries discovered in the Baja packs there was a "retro" flavor included, and sure enough, it was lime!
Bring back the LIME Starbursts! Around 1978, it was replaced with cherry.
In Europe we have Lemon Lime, Blackcurrant, Orange & Strawberry. The skittles in Europe are different (strawberry, orange, & lemon in America), and apple & blackcurrant replacing lime & grape in America.
