Look first
Notice the shape, the translucency, and the way colors meet. Handmade patterns can vary, so the visual experience is part of the pleasure rather than a guarantee of a particular flavor.
Take your time
Let the candy rest on your tongue and pay attention to your first impression, then what follows. Does it remind you of fruit, flowers, warmth, or something else entirely?
Compare notes
There is no prize for guessing correctly. Share what you noticed with a friend and see where your impressions differ. If you have an allergy or dietary concern, ask for ingredient information before tasting.
