Fruity Chewy Candy: 8/10
🚨NEW ITEM🚨 I love when #traderjoes comes out with bright and tasty new items just in time for springtime! I Starburst are delicious, so I was interested to see if these were better or worse. Even though cane sugar and corn syrup are the first two ingredients, I felt like they weren’t as sweet as Starburst which I liked. Starbursts, however, are more flavor packed and “juicy” than these. The lemon was my least favorite out of the bunch and tasted a little like medicine. The raspberry, cherry, orange, and strawberry were all quite tasty and sweet but I still prefer Starburst. Something to note: the wrapper was pretty hard to get off each candy because of how sticky they were and it took quite a while to get them unwrapped. It’s $3.29 for this candy.
Have you tried these yet? What do you think?
@jjrykal These!!! 🍬 🙌🏻 ❤️
Im@excited to try these. These are vegetarian while starbursts are not.
Almost a hybrid of a starburst and now & later IMO
Oh nommm
I loved how fruity they were. I could smell it when I opened the package. I also like that they were a little softer! Makes them feel more natural to me idk why 🤣 the lemon ground away my taste buds for a day though I was sucking on it too long I think 🤔
These just pulled my sons crown off🙈 super sticky candy
Very expensive…. 😮
Which one is strawberry? Lol I cant figure it out I am thinking its the purple wrapper but its so different from a pink starburst so i am not 💯
I just bought these! I love them. To me they’re even better than starbursts because they taste more like fruit! You can literally smell the intense fruit flavor.
Nothing like a starburst and overpriced!!! There hard and Chewy.
The best part is no artificial dyes!
These were like the salt water taffy version of starbursts. They were great! The wrappers were a pain to get off though!
Mine had more of a Now and Later texture … they were pretty good, not great.
Meh.

I love these more starburst..
These taste like now and laters to me
Wow! My batch must have been bad. Every one tasted a bit like soap 😩 I was so excited to try them too.
Haha we haven’t touched them since our first 2 flavors
They remind me of soft now and laters
These are addictive. I still prefer Starburst too, but the raspberry one is very tasty.
I was not a fan! Just bought them today. Had a very weird almost gritty texture once they softened and like a vitamin/medicine after taste. I ate 2 in the car… threw them away on my way In from the car.
I also disliked the lemon one. Starbursts will always be my favorite!
These are awful. The texture is every kind of wrong.
Oh my gosh. I just tried these for the second time tonight and had to come see if you agreed… THEY TASTE LIKE MEDICINE! I like them-ish but also don’t. 😂
