I remember not liking these so much; I think it was a texture thing. You can't pair a crunchy with another crunchy; cuz, like, chocolate covered almonds are good, and candy coated chocolates are good... Iunno... go fig!

TheCandyGuy commented on 28 Nov 2015

+PhatAsPhoebe There was a lot of crunchy to crunchy ratio :-)

Tapioca is a starch from the cassava plant that takes on the flavor of whatever your baking. As in the pudding, vanilla is usually added as the flavoring agent. Tapioca is used as a thickening agent in a large amount of foodstuff. Interestingly, tapioca comes from the cassava root which if not treated for the removal of linamarin, would be poisonous. The linamarin is converted upon ingestion by humans into cyanide. Another interesting side note, while we are on the subject, the variety known as bitter almond also has the ability to poison much like the cassava plant, only its not linamarin but glycoside amygdalin which when converted turns into prussic acid, more commonly known as hydrogen cyanide. Sort of makes you think about the next wedding you attend. Always interesting and entertaining as well. Thanks for sharing!

+TheCandyGuy Not a problem. Among my many talents is cooking. And poisons.

TheCandyGuy commented on 28 Nov 2015

+Darkside Laments This was a great comment with a lot of great information. I feel I should have done more research on tapioca. That probably explains why I couldn't recall the exact flavor of tapioca. Thanks!

That was funny towards the end. Your so very lucky Daniel to be working in the Penny Candy Shop. To bad I am Allergic to Almonds & also Peanut Products. Moving to Ontario is not good as you can become allergic to a lot of things. Hope that you had a great Thanksgiving. Cheers.

TheCandyGuy commented on 28 Nov 2015

+Dr. Sir Francis R Thank you. It is a fun place to work. I did have a great Thanksgiving. Thank you :-)
