For the Love of Candy

I’m so glad they started making these again. I practically squealed when I saw the package in the supermarket checkout line; they were one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Tootsie Roll Pop Drops (henceforth known as TRPD) come in orange bags branded with “Tootsie Roll Pops Without a Stick.” That’s pretty accurate. TRPD is penny-size hard candy filled with Tootsie Roll, just like the pops of the same name. They come in the same flavors as well–chocolate, cherry, blue raspberry, orange, and grape. The hard candy is the same tangy and delicious candy found in the pops. The only problem is the amount of filling–some pieces have a nice quantity, others have almost none.

4/5 without a doubt–these are so good. I just wish they’d work out the filling issue.
