Kanro Marosh Gummy-style Yogurt Marshmallow Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt flavored candy while shopping at Ebisu in Alhambra. Kanro Marosh is a “gummy-style yogurt marshmallow” according to the packaging. It’s imported from Japan.

One pouch is 50g (1800mg) and $2.99. The pouch is resealable.

Marosh: The candy is tear-shaped and about the size of a finger tip. It has the chewy of mochi and the sponginess of a marshmallow. The candy is “coated in acid powder for a refreshing taste.” It is firmer and chewier than a marshmallow, but sweet like a marshmallow. The powder on the outside is quite tart. I find the tartness pleasant (love tart candy). It fades, and you’re left with the sweetness. It does taste more like yogurt soda than yogurt.

4 out of 5 stars.

White Rabbit Yogurt Flavor Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I grew up eating White Rabbit candy and was excited to find a yogurt flavor at 168 Market in Alhambra. One 180g bag was $5.49. The candies are individually wrapped. They’re imported from China.

White Rabbit Yogurt flavor: Like all White Rabbit candy, the cylindrical candy is firm and chewy. Each piece is wrapped in a thin rice paper sheet that melts in your mouth. The candy is the same size as the regular flavor. It’s white in color. The candy was firmer and harder than I remembered. It’s a bit too hard, but it is very chewy. Because it’s so hard, it lasts for longer than a softer candy. The yogurt flavor is sweet and slightly tangy. It also has a milky flavor. The yogurt flavor reminds me of Yakult. I don’t love it and prefer the regular flavor.

One serving is six pieces, 120 calories, 2g total fat, 25g total carbs, 16g total sugars, and 1g protein.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Seoju Mango Lassi Jelly Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. During a recent visit to Mega Mart, a Korean grocery store in Fremont, CA, I spotted a new yogurt flavored candy. It didn’t say yogurt on the front (in English), but it did say India style and the picture looked like an unblended mango lassi.

Seoju Mango Lassi Jelly comes in a 40g resealable pouch. It was reasonably priced at $1.79. There were other flavors, but those were not yogurt flavored. The candy is imported from South Korea. The ingredients include mango juice and natural lassi (yogurt) flavor.

Mango Lassi Jelly: The jellies smell really good (like mango). The small cube is firm yet not too hard. It’s chewy like a gummy bear. The orange half is mango flavored, and the white half is yogurt flavored. It doesn’t have a strong yogurt flavor, but it is very pleasant, sweet, and chewy. I’m grateful that it doesn’t taste like Yakult. I would buy these again.

One 40g bag of mango jellies is 145 kcals, 0g total fat, 36g total carbs, and 11g total sugar.

Asian Grocer Online describes it as follows, “Seoju Mango Lassi Jelly combines the creamy richness of mango lassi with a fun, chewy jelly texture. Bursting with the sweet and tangy flavour of ripe mangoes, this delightful treat offers a unique, refreshing twist on a classic drink. Perfect for a fun snack or a sweet indulgence, it’s a delicious way to enjoy the flavours of mango lassi anytime!” You can buy the candy online from Asian Grocer Online.

Atrion Yogurt Fruit Gummy – Strawberry Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found Atrion yogurt fruit gummies at Konbiniya Japan Centre in Vancouver, Canada. They had a few flavors. The candy was $3.19 for 1.66 oz resealable pouch. It’s imported from Japan.

Yogurt Fruit Strawberry: The gummy is circular and about the size of a nickel. It’s firm and chewy. The strawberry flavor is strong and the yogurt makes the candy tangy. It’s good but it does taste a bit like Yakult (I’m not a fan of Yakult) rather than yogurt. I do appreciate the strong strawberry flavor and tang. I would buy these again. I should have bought the pear flavor too.

You can buy this candy online from Japan Candy Store for $4.90 a pouch.

4 out of 5 stars.

Morinaga Odama Choco Ball Aloe Yogurt Candy Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Japan sure comes out with a lot of yogurt flavored candies. I spotted Morinaga Odama Choco Ball Aloe Yogurt Chocolate at H Mart in Arcadia, CA. One 1.58 pouch was $2.99. The pouch is resealable and contains seven candies. The candies are imported from Japan.

Choco Ball – Aloe Yogurt: The ball looks like and reminds me of a malt ball only with a chewy gummy center. The ball tastes like sweet white chocolate with a chewy aloe yogurt center. The yellow gummy center is firm and does taste like aloe (more than it tastes like yogurt). It’s not bad but the combination is unusual, at least to me.

There are five servings per bag, so a serving must be fewer than two balls but more than one ball. One serving has 40 calories, 2g total fat, and 8g total sugar. One of the ingredients is yogurt powder.

You can buy them online a few places, including Japan Candy Store.

Kabaya Fruit Yogurt Ramune Ichigo & Ringo Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Kabaya Fruit Yogurt Ramune Ichigo & Ringo candy at H Mart in Arcadia. A bag is 1.79 oz (51g) and contains 15 individually wrapped candies. The yellow wrappers contain the apple candy and the red the strawberry candy. A bag was $3.99 at H Mart. The candy is a product of Japan.

The candies are small, white, round and have red flecks. The texture was firm and powdery. It melted quickly and was tangy and sweet. The apple flavor tasted more artificial than the strawberry and seemed sweeter too. The strawberry candy is made with Fukuoka Prefecture's Amaou strawberry. Pretty impressive. However, the candy was just okay for me (too powdery).

One serving is 25 calories, 0g fat, and 6g total sugars.

Loacker Raspberry Yoghurt Chocolate Bar Review

Fro-yo girl here. I knew that Loacker made tasty wafer cookies but I didn’t realize that they also made chocolate bars with their famous, light, crispy wters inside. I spotted Loacker Raspberry Yoghurt milk chocolate bars at Grocery Outlet for $1.49 each. The bar is 55g and imported from Italy. It’s milk chocolate with a raspberry yoghurt cream and wafer.

One bar is 300 calories, 18g fat, 30g total carbohydrates, 24g sugars, and 5g protein. Loacker’s bar is thinner than Ritter Sport. There were six sections of the chocolate bar.

* Raspberry Yoghurt bar: The milk chocolate was soft and rich. It seemed to melt the moment I touched it. Inside the bar, there’s a thin layer of raspberry yoghurt cream on top of a thin wafer. The chocolate was very creamy and the flavor of it overpowered everything else. However, I could taste some of the raspberry, which had a mild tang. The wafer added a bit of crunch. I couldn’t taste yogurt. 

Ingredients: Sugar, cocoa mass, whole milk powder, coconut oil, skimmed milk powder, glucose syrup, wheat flour, whey powder (milk), skimmed milk yoghurt powder 2%, dextrose, soy flour, barley malt extract, raspberry powder 0.5%, emulsifier soy lecithins, raising agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate) salt, reduced-fat cocoa, hazelnuts, Bourbon vanilla pods, spices.

Available flavors: Milk Crème, Dark Crème, Chocolate Crème, Napolitaner, White Crème, and Raspberry Yoghurt

Cost Plus also carries Loacker chocolate bars.

Morinaga Yogurt Caramel Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found a new yogurt candy at Nijiya Market in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Morinaga Yogurt Caramel is imported from Japan. One box is 2.07 oz with 12 individually wrapped square caramels. This flavor is limited edition. Nijiya was selling Morinaga caramels for $2.19 a box.

One serving (the entire box) is 241 calories, 4.5g total fat, 34g sugars, and 47g total carbohydrates.

The caramel was soft, creamy, and chewy. It had a tangy sweet yogurt flavor that reminded me of Yakult. I like firmer caramels. It seemed cloyingly sweet to me.

Ingredients: Sugar syrup, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, sweetened defatted condensed milk powder, vegetable oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein, butter, concentrated yogurt, sorbitol, citric acid, artificial flavor, soy lecithin

Shirakiku Yogurt Chocolate Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt candy to try, Yogurt Chocolate from Shirakiku. Yogurt Chocolate is a product of Korea. Combining yogurt and chocolate did not sound appealing to me, but I had to investigate.

Shirakiku Yogurt Chocolate comes in a 1.41 oz pouch. One serving (i.e., one pouch) is 190 calories, 10g total fat, 26g total carbohydrate, and 20g sugar. 99 Ranch Market was selling Yogurt Chocolate for $1.19, regular price.

The candy looks like a white M&M, though it’s a bit larger than your plain M&M. There is a thin hard shell, similar to M&Ms. Inside, you’ll find (brown) chocolate and an enriched yogurt core that’s white in the center. While it looked like an M&M, it tasted much worse. It tasted medicinal, like children’s chewable vitamins. It was sweet, bitter, and tasted like powder. I found it inedible. Children’s chewable vitamins taste better.

Ingredients: Compound chocolate (sugar, hydrogenated palm kernel stearin oil, cacao powder, whey powder, lactose, soy lecithin, artificial flavors, whole milk powder), sugar, powdered sugar, gelatin (beef), titanium dioxide, carnauba wax, yogurt flavor, Xylitol, yogurt powder (skim yogurt powder, skim milk powder, citric acid, yogurt flavor), vitamin C, magnesium stearate, maltose, monohydrated dextrose

Sugiotoya Puru Mocchi (Yogurt Gummy Candy) Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt flavored candy, while shopping at Nijiya Market in San Francisco.

Sugiotoya Puru Mocchi is imported from Japan. It’s a gummy candy. One bag is 40g, 130 calories, 0g fat, 34.4g sugars. Nijiya was selling Puru Mochi for $2.49 a bag. There were two other flavors: grape and Mandarin orange; these were not yogurt flavored. I’ve never had Puru Mocchi candy before.

* Puru Mocchi yogurt gummy candy: The bag contains 8 small individually wrapped cubes. Each cube is coated in flavored fine sugar. The texture is firm but not too firm and chewy, like mochi/glutinous rice. The yogurt flavor tastes like Yakult. It’s sweet and tangy. It really is like mochi but more jelly like. It’s not bad but I don’t like Yakult. I did like the texture.

Ingredients: Starch syrup, sugar, pasteurized lactic acid beverage, glutinous rice flour, potato starch, glutinous rice, lactic acid, D-sorbitol, gelling agent (polysaccharide thickener), citric acid, stabilizers (modified starch), flavors, emulsifiers

What's interesting is that the bag of candy has 1 billion yogurt cultures.

Hi-Chew Yogurt Mix Review

Fro-yo girl here. I love Hi-Chew, so I was excited to find a bag of Morinaga Hi-Chew Yogurt Mix at Hmart Arcadia (1101 W Huntington Dr., Arcadia, CA). One bag is 3.17 oz and $1.99. It’s made in China under license of Morinaga & Co., Ltd., Japan. The candies are individually wrapped. The assortment includes three flavors: Blueberry Yogurt, Plain Yogurt, Strawberry Yogurt. 

• Plain Yogurt: The candy was very firm and chewy (like Starburst). I think it was firmer than the Hi-Chew from Japan and the pieces were misshapen. The ones from Japan aren’t misshapen. Flavor wise, it tasted like a sweet Yakult like flavor with a slight tang. The texture and flavor reminded me of bubblegum. 
• Strawberry Yogurt: This candy was a little tangier, with a faint strawberry flavor didn’t taste that natural. 
• Blueberry Yogurt: The Blueberry Yogurt flavor was sweeter but more natural. It was the best flavor. 

I had Hi-Chew yogurt before and it was better then.

Ingredients: Glucose syrup, sugar, vegetable oil (palm oil, hydrogenated palm oil), less than 2% of gelatin, natural and artificial flavors, lactic acid, malic acid, sorbitan, monostearate, sucrose fatty acid esters, strawberry jam, strawberry juice concentrate, fruit juice (color), vegetable juice (color), purple sweet potato juice (color), soy lecithin.

One serving is 6 pieces, 130 calories, 3g fat, 19g sugars, and 0g protein.

7 Eleven Select Lotte Yogurt Jelly Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found Lotte Yogurt Jelly gummy candy during a recent trip to Candy Doll Beauty in San Francisco’s Japantown. The packaging is certainly eye-catching. It looks like a giant bottle of Yakult, the probiotic beverage. Lotte Yogurt Jelly is sold at 7-Eleven stores in Korea. It’s available in three flavors: Original Yogurt, Strawberry Yogurt, Apple Yogurt. The list of ingredients is in Korean only, so I’m not sure what’s in it. A pouch weighs 50g.

* Original Yogurt Jelly: There were about 15 translucent bottle shaped gummy candies in the pouch. The lower half of the bottle was a darker yellow, while the top half was clear. It was firm and chewy but not too firm. Texture wise, it’s much like gummy bears. The flavor was tarter than I expected and I liked that, but then the powdery flavor of Yakult set in. Overall, it’s not bad but I don’t like Yakult, so I wasn’t a huge fan.

Candy Doll had the Original Yogurt and Strawberry Yogurt flavors, for $5 per pouch.

3 out of 5 stars.

Sugarfina Bear-y Smoothie Gummy Bears Review

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve had yogurt gummy candies before but not these Bear-y Smoothie ones that I found at Sugarfina. These are imported from Germany and sold for $2.50 for a 1 oz bag of $7.50 for a 3 oz clear candy cube. Each bear is about 1 inch in length. It’s made with skim milk yogurt powder. There were three flavors in the package.

The candy is described as, “Sweet berry juice is blended with creamy frozen yogurt in these bear-shaped, berrylicious bites. Soft and fluffy, these fruity gummy bears have the fresh taste of a delicious berry smoothie.”

Pale purple: Quite tangy and fruity, plus a little creamy. The texture is soft, spongy and chewy. It’s tangier than I expected though there isn’t much yogurt flavor. It might be blackcurrant.

Cream colored: Also tangy and creamy though it doesn’t taste like yogurt, it tastes like lemon

Pink: Tastes like a tangy cherry flavor but creamier.

Ingredients:

Glucose syrup, sugar, fructose, gelatin, skim milk yogurt powder, citric acid, lactic acid, lemon juice concentrate, sorbitol, pectin, natural flavors, natural colors (spirulina, black currant, carrot), acerola fruit powder, palm kernel oil, beeswax, carnauba wax

These are tasty gummy bears.

Morinaga Hi Chew Premium Yogurt Japanese Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I recently spotted a new yogurt flavored candy imported from Japan at Mitsuwa in Costa Mesa, CA. They only had one flavor, plain. The manufacturer is Morinaga, the makers of Hi-Chew (I love Hi-Chew). The candy comes in a small plastic pouch with the word Premium on the front.

One pouch is $1.99, 1.23 oz with 140 calories. It’s in the Hi-Chew product family but it looks different from the typical Hi-Chew. Each candy is a flattened oval shape, white in color. It is firm and chewy with a thin yogurt coating. The texture is similar to Hi-Chew, so it’s very chewy. The thin outer coating is sweet. The chewy interior has a creamy, Yakult like flavor. It’s good but I’m not a fan of Yakult flavor which is more sweet than tangy. It also tastes artificial. I really like the candy's texture though.

Ingredients: corn syrup, sugar, glucose, palm oil, concentrated yogurt, gelatin, cream, high fructose corn syrup, milk sauce, pectin, citric acid, artificial flavor.

Yogurt Candy Review: Choceur Milk Chocolate Bars with Strawberry Bits and Yogurt Crème Filling

Fro-yo girl here. I found Choceur milk chocolate bars at Aldi. Choceur is exclusive to Aldi. There were a few varieties but of course Strawberry Yogurt caught my eye. There’s a picture of a jar of yogurt on the front.

Choceur chocolate bars are made in Germany using European chocolate. One bar is 7.05 ozs and contains 11 individually wrapped mini bars. A full size chocolate bar is $1.99.

Choceur Strawberry Yogurt bars feature a thin, creamy milk chocolate shell and a firm, creamy yogurt filling with tiny freeze-dried strawberry bits. The yogurt flavor is a little tangy but mild. The strawberry bits add crunch and pops of strawberry flavor. I quite like these bars.

One serving is equal to two mini bars, 210 calories, 14g total fat, and 16g sugar.

Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, lactose, soy lecithin (emulsifier), vanilla extract), sugar, vegetable fat, yogurt powder, cream powder, buttermilk powder, maltodextrin, strawberry pieces, natural flavor, soy lecithin, starch, citric acid.

Yogurt Candy Review: Duca Degli Abruzzi Nobili Passioni Win-Win Milk Chocolate with Strawberry Yogurt Cream

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurt flavored candies seem the most popular in Germany and Japan but I recently found a yogurt flavored chocolate bar from Italy, by Duca Degli Abruzzi Nobili Passioni Win-Win. There were a variety of chocolate bars and only one was yogurt flavored.

Milk Chocolate filled with Yogurt and Strawberry Cream: The milk chocolate shell is very creamy – more so than your typical American chocolate bar. The yogurt and strawberry cream filling is also creamy. You taste a bit of tang from the yogurt and hints of strawberry. No flavor is overpowering. It’s quite pleasant and creamy. I love how the cup of yogurt on the packaging looks like a bowl of frozen yogurt.

I found Win-Win chocolates for $1.49 each at Armen Market in Altadena. One bar is 75 grams. One serving has 11 grams of fat and 20g of sugar. It’s a good value for an imported extra creamy chocolate bar.

Ingredients (strawberry yogurt cream): milk chocolate (cocoa min. 30%): sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa paste, whole milk powder, powder milk whey, emulsifier: soy lecithin, natural vanilla flavoring, yogurt and strawberry cream 33%: sugar, vegetable oils and fats, powder milk whey, strawberry powder3% (maltodextrin, strawberry concentrated), yogurt powder 2%, emulsifier: soy lecithin, vanillin, flavor

Katjes Yogurt Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. Lolli and Pops in the Glendale Galleria has an impressive selection of international candy from Japan, the UK, Germany, etc. During a recent visit I found two German yogurt candies to try.

Katjes Yoghurt Gums is Katje’s best seller, featuring no gelatin or artificial colors. The treats come in a big 7.1 ounce pouch. Each pouch contains six flavors of candy: zitrone (lemon), birne (pear), kirsche (cherry), erdbeere (strawberry), heidelbeere (blueberry), and himbeere (raspberry). A pouch was $4 at Lolli and Pops. The candies come in fruit shapes; each candy shape represents the candy flavor.

Yoghurt Gums are known for their softness. I found the soft texture strange and not very pleasant. The candy isn’t chewy but it’s like a soft jelly candy.The flavors taste natural and tart but the texture is odd – soft and gritty.

Ingredients: Sugar, corn syrup, lowfat yogurt, fruit pulp, sweet whey powder, pectin, citric acid, lactic acid, lactose, fruit and vegetable concentrate, natural flavors, beeswax

3 out of 5 stars

Katjes YoguBerries is a gummy candy that’s meant to taste like berries dipped in yogurt. A 5.3 ounce pouch ($4.50 at Lolli and Pops) contains three flavors: strawberry, blueberry and raspberry. The white part of the candy tastes like yogurt but doesn’t have much flavor on it’s own. It tastes better with the fruit gummy part of the candy. The raspberry has the strongest flavor, tart yet sweet. The candy had a pleasant texture: firm, chewy but not too hard.

Ingredients: Corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, fruit juice concentrate, lowfat yogurt, citric acid, lactic acid, sweet whey powder, strawberry pulp, pectin, lactose, natural flavors, beeswax

Yogurt Candy Review: Kanro Candemina

Fro-yo girl here. I found another Japanese yogurt flavored candy while shopping at Nijiya. Kanro’s Candemina comes in a sealable pouch and it’s labeled as a soft candy.

The candy looks wavy and is a firm and very chewy gummy. It is tangy because of the sour powder coating but it tastes like a children’s chewable vitamin.The gummy part is sweet. I would like it better if it didn’t taste like chewable vitamins.

Ingredients: sugar, corn syrup, polydextrose, gelatine, dextrin, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk powder, acidulant, artificial flavor, starch, calcium carbonate, acesulfame potassium

One 1.48 oz. pouch of Candemina is $1.99 at Nijiya Market. You can buy it online from jbox.

Ogontoh Vitain Yogurt Flavor Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another Japanese yogurt flavored candy at Nijiya Market in San Mateo. Ogontoh Vitain yogurt candy is a hard candy with two different textures and flavors. It seems to be positioned based on health. The packaging emphasizes that the candy contains vitamin C, calcium and lactobacilli. I found a 3.17 oz. bag of Vitain for $3.49.

The top of the candy is a hard yellow disc, similar to a cough drop in terms of the texture and look. The bottom of the candy is a powdery firm white disc, similar in texture of aspirin. The bottom white disc is pretty tangy due to the fermented milk but also somewhat medicinal tasting. It tastes like tangier Yakult. The yellow part is sweeter without any particularly strong flavor. It takes a long time for one candy to dissolve. The candies are individually wrapped.

Ingredients: Cane sugar, maltitol, glucose, corn syrup, fermented milk, oligo-saccharide, casein phospho peputide, lactic acid bacterium, organic acid, coral calcium flavors, vitamin C, emulsifier

Yogurt Candy Review: Glico Gummy & Yogurt Candy

Fro-yo girl here. I love my Nijiya Market. Every few months I’ll find a new Japanese yogurt flavored candy in the candy aisle. During a recent visit I found Glico Gummy & Yogurt candy, which comes in a white and green with a picture of aloe resealable pouch. There’s very little English on the package so I’m not even sure what the ingredients are. Luckily, the flavor is listed in English.

The cube is firm like a jelly with two layers. The texture is softer on top and chewier on the bottom. So the bottom layer is probably the gummy layer and the top is the yogurt aloe gel. The cube is covered in sugar. The top layer is very sweet but also very tangy, like a tangy aloe drink flavor. The bottom layer is sweet without much flavor. I liked both the texture and the flavor. It’s not exactly the sour kind of gummy that I like but it is quite tangy and flavorful.

A bag of Glico Gummy & Yogurt candy is $1.99. It looks like this candy comes in other flavors (Strawberry Yogurt, Blueberry Yogurt) but I didn’t see those at my Nijiya.
