Surprise! I’ve got one more See’s review for y’all. An extension of last week’s See’s week, I guess. I’ve breezed over the See’s Scotchmallow before, and it’s near the top of my list of favorite candies. It’s about time it warranted a full review.
You can get Scotchmallows by the box, as part of an assorted box, or as a hefty, 1.5 oz. individually wrapped bar, as I did here. The website calls them, “a delicious layer of See’s caramel with a layer of See’s honey marshmallow enrobed in rich dark chocolate”.
In bar form, they only come in milk chocolate.?That milk chocolate shell had a slight snap. It had a great duskiness with hints of malt and slight notes of coffee.
The marshmallow was dense and foamy with a light pull when bitten into. It’s unlike anything you could pick up in a grocery store – it’s lightly sweet and vanilla-y, and the texture is a toothy pleasure.
The caramel was extremely chewy and sticky. It tasted of sweet, brown sugar with a slight grit at the end.
The mix of flavors and textures was sublime. The sticky caramel chew combined with the fluffy marshmallow chew plus the melting milk chocolate is a chomping pleasure, and the malty chocolate goes great with the scorchy brown sugar caramel and vanilla marshmallow.
It’s incredible how the different types of sweetness play off each other and bring out each others’ flavors. I could eat Scotchmallows for days.
I prefer the dark chocolate version because it better cuts the sweetness, but this bar version is still a favorite. An enthusiastic ZOMG!
