I'll start off by saying I think you have to be open minded when trying these candies. You can't go into it expecting them to taste EXACTLY like the originals because you'll be disappointed. I was really looking forward to these trying this candy line as I have cut back on so many treats due to all the unhealthy amounts of sugar and ingredients I can't even pronounce. So I will admit I had pretty high expectations! I wasn't disappointed.
I tried three different varieties from the UNREAL candy line; UN 8, UN 77, and UN 54. The candies they are "mimicked" after are actually three of my favorites!
They all tasted more natural (which is a good thing in my own opinion). The sugar didn't hurt my teeth as candies often do to me these days. Out of those three I enjoyed the UN 54 the most. The peanuts tasted like they had just come out of the shell! The UN 8 was my second favorite but I didn't like the nougat part of it as much. To me the consistency wasn't as appealing as in a regular Snickers but overall a yummy taste. Lastly, is the UN 77 which was my least favorite of the three but I don't think it was bad at all just not as good as the others. I feel like it was missing the saltiness that I get from a Reese's which makes it less appetizing to me.
I bought extra and shared them with family and friends. My mom actually said she preferred the UN 77 over Reese's Cups and would be buying it again as a replacement. My younger sister said she thought the UN 54 was just the regular peanut M&Ms and not a different brand. She definitely liked them. My best friend didn't care for the UN 8 at all but really enjoyed the UN 77. Her boyfriend didn't like any of those three and said they were "too healthy to be enjoyed".
Overall I enjoyed them for what they are. There are some people I'd recommend them to and others I could guarantee won't enjoy them. If you're open minded with food or willing to sacrifice sweetness for a healthier option then I'd say go for it!
I only gave them 4 out of 5 stars because I know they won't be for everyone and the price is higher than a "regular" candy bar. I will be buying them again though. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
