The surprise breakout hit of the candy party. I call it a suprise because when doing my little photoshoot, I sampled most of the candy for the party (I took it out of the package and figured I may as well have something to snack on while shooting) and found this to be so foul that I threw it out after a few licks.
Billed as a chile flavored lolly, this amply sized ball has four layers (alternating red and then green), the outside is textured (reminded me of stucco) with what I guess to be chili power. The thing is, I don't mind spicy candy, it's salty candy that baffles me, and this was damn salty.However I felt about it, Will and Amy seemed sufficiently engaged by the candy to rate it about a five (they'd eat one if someone gave it to them, in fact, they took the extras home with them), but Robin seemed only to tolerate it enough to get to a second layer.
My rating: 2 out of 10.

wow your first 2 out of 10 thank god. I thought you would eat just about any kind of candy or chocolate.
I confess, I brought the Rockaleta you gave me to work and after several days finally went at it. Let's just say the honeymoon was over as the sophomore experience totaled about four licks before I pitched the thing. 2 outta 10 is about right.
Horrible aren't they? I was given one of these...things once by my Spanish teacher. It was a nice gesture but all the same, yeesh.
I gotta say I love Rockaletas. Especially the new dark ones. Sure it's an aquired taste but I really wouldn't describe them as salty. It's a straight up chile flavor. You might appreciate the Dark ones better since they are more of a spicy/sweet flavor rather than just a chile flavor.
Hi! Actually, rockaleta's aren't horrible.. it's just that you are nnot used to them! I don't just love them, but I think they're some of the best candies... not only caramel but some spicy and some gum also!
