Novelty foods can be a fun experience. You never really know if the fun food your looking at will have a good taste to match. I liked the idea of the Peanut Caramel Cob. It's popcorn, peanuts, and caramel fashioned into the shape of a corn cob. The green corn husks on the plastic wrapper add to it's clever packaging. I opened the top of the plastic wrapper, and slid the cob up, kind of like a popsicle. The first thing I notice is the smell, it's a very sweet caramel. I went for it, and took a decent sized bite. The text on the wrapper did say this was soft and chewy, but... Wow. This was unbelievably soft, and chewy. I was expecting something just a bit more crunchy, just based on my past caramel corn experience. Lots of maneuvering was required for me to get this out of my teeth. Texture-wise, I wasn't the biggest fan, but the flavor made up for it. A nice, sweet caramel melted in between crunchy peanuts, and super-soft popcorn.
Basically, the flavor of this snack is pretty good. But it's the sticky, way-too-chewy texture that was the only con I could notice. Give this a shot! I nearly wish they served it at the movies, just don't expect a very crunchy texture. :)
