Disneyland Candy Novelties
These are cute but certainly expensive, useless and probably bad for the environment. What’s worse? I bought two. The come in a gajillion different versions: Eeyore, Piglet, Tiggr, Pluto and Mickey were the ones I saw. They’re called Candy Keepers, and as far as I’m concerned, they can keep the candy.
Each little pod comes in a snug little clear plastic box along with a packet of candies (about the same amount as a packet of sugar). They’re all pastels. I thought for a while there might be primary colored ones in there and rooted around in the display. The pastel really doesn’t make much sense, unless you’re a Piglet fan.
The little pastel candies are dreadful. I thought they were going to be like Tart n Tiny ... little sugar shelled SweeTarts or something. Instead the candies are slightly floral/raspberry flavored ... completely sweet except for the awful bitter aftertastes (is that the artificial coloring?). How much, you’re wondering? $2.50 each. The included candy aside, they’re still going to be fun to keep on my desk and put other actual candies that I like inside. (This week it’ll probably be Good & Plenty.) If it were just a little toy, I think I’d be okay (if it were less than $2, come on, how much was it to make these things ...). With the candy, these fall out of my good graces and I give them a 5 out of 10. If you’re trying to moderate your child’s candy intake and have only given them a $2.50 budget for sweets and Disneyland, well, this is the treat for you! (It makes me feel silly for complaining about paying over a dollar for those Gummy Fishies.)
I was pretty pleased to see these Mickey Mouse Bundled Pops at the stores. They’re fun to look at and it appears that a kid might actually be able to eat one of these while waiting in one of those long lines for a ride ... and still have some for later. The bundle has five thick Mickey Ear pops in it: Cherry, Orange, Banana, Cotton Candy and Watermelon each on a 7” paper stick. I left the red on my brother’s windshield ... so the kids would think there was a lollipop fairy at Disneyland!
The flavors aren’t as bright as the colors though. For Banana and Cotton Candy, the flavor was mild and sweet. For the Orange and Watermelon, the flavor just didn’t have any zazz. It was all sweet and no tang. I suppose some children prefer sweet over tart, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a candy that won’t overpower them. They are very attractive and one of the few candies that continues the Mickey Mouse theme all the way until you bite their ears off. At $3.95 for the bundle of five, well that’s a bit steep. I give them a 6 out of 10. Neither of these treats was marked Kosher. Related Candies

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Well, $3.95 for 5 is still better than what they could’ve charged….like $1 per pop, or WORSE ($2 per pop!) I went to the Pittsburgh zoo recently and bought a spiral lollipop - $2 for more lollipop than I really need.
he he i have all but the pooh. what store did you find them in? i was there last night btw…
i have a soft spot in my heart for those mickey pops. i dont know why but i have to get them everytime i go to disney land. LOVE them.
I was surprised by how much I liked those little candies inside the Candy Keepers (I got a Donald here on the lot.) Oh, the best cotton candy I’ve ever tasted is at Downtown Disney! The Candee Fluff kiosk near the Lego store. The pink vanilla is perfect and the grape is grapily transcendent. Even the coconut pineapple is yummy and actually tastes like what it’s called. Check it out the next time you go.
Ah I bought that little plastic mickey for my aunt and we threw out the candies so she could put other stuff in it. The container is so cute. The only lollipop I liked when I went there was the cotton candy one, and they’re only good for a few licks. Never seen so much candy as I did in Disneyland, it was crazy!
do you know where i can buy these?
went to disneyland paris in march and didn’t bring any home…craving them so much!
nicest lollipops i have ever tasted!
if you know where i can get these then please email me on:
