Albert's Fruit Chews - Grape Flavor (240 Candies)

During a Halloween party last month, a man was standing against a wall with a bag of these in his hands. I did a double-take. I straightened. Then I approached him slowly, my eyes wide, my steps cautious. Could it really be? Are these the same candies I have literally been searching for in vain for the last fifteen years? Poor guy. He must have been pretty shocked when I took the bag right out of his hand, opened it wide at the top, and gazed down at its contents. Precious, precious contents. Like little barely-wrapped pieces of gold, they appeared to me. This was indeed them. The next thing I did was look at the damn brand name on the bag. I've been looking for these candies for so long and failing, and all I really needed to know all that time was what the heck the brand name was: Albert's. I memorized it instantly. And then I gushed, handing back the bag. "I'm sorry! I've just been looking for these candies that I used to eat all the time when I was a kid. I loved them so much! The way they were nice and hard, like tangy taffies but without the tang, the way they could be smoothed into a kind of delicious wafer that would slowly melt in the mouth, the TASTE!" The very gracious man smiled, took my hands, and dumped half the bag into them. I thanked him profusely, ate every single one of them, and then went home and ordered four bags of this stuff from Amazon. In case you haven't gathered thus far - I love these candies. Thank goodness they haven't changed one iota over the last thirty years. The grape is my favorite, followed by the strawberry. Nothing else in the world is quite like them. Their consistency, their flavor, their size - they are all perfect. Luck was with me that Halloween. :)

Tasty

These sweets are really good. They do not look as good because they are plain white, but once you put it in your mouth, you can taste how good it actually is.

Tastes like it has been sitting with spearmint Lifesavers or something similar. The flavor is off. Also, I am pretty sure they have been sitting awhile because the outside is crunchy and the inside is soft and chewy, but I've never had these before so I'm not entirely sure how the texture is supposed to be.

Came quickly. Candy is hard, but gets softer as it gets warm in your mouth. Tastes good. Just old.

They were fresh, still soft and delicious as always. Good sized bag for the price.

I was excited to find that Amazon sold individual flavors when it came to this candy. I see it sold in stores and they have, strawberry, watermelon, blue berry and assorted flavors but never grape. Thank you for finding a provider that does so. Outside of Halloween I can now order here.

I’m only giving this to three because they are hard as a rock. They are called Chews for a reason. I love them, but maybe I will try to order them for a different supplier next time.
