| | I decided to try something new: review a candy bar.
I haven't really gone to a restaurant and actually paid attention to all the details lately. I've had a lot of other things on my mind. So I decided to try something different. Please read, and give me feedback on what you think about it. Thanks again!

The Idaho Spud
I didn't purchase this candy while in Idaho because I've never been to Idaho. I actually got this candy bar while on a little excursion to the Galco's Market. My friends and I were in search of classic candies and sodas, and I happened to find this little beauty.
I've seen it mentioned before on the Food Network on "Unwrapped" so I figured I'd get one to try it.
At first glance, the label reminded me of an old fruit pie I'd get from one of the Hostess stores back in the day.
Once you open the label, an elongated oval candy bar covered in coconut flakes is what is revealed. This is the reason it is called an "Idaho Spud," because it is made to look like a potato.
I took a bite, and immediately noticed that the chocolate covering was very soft ... not firm like many typical candy bars. Inside was a soft and creamy marshmallow-like consistency with coconut flavor.
I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this candy bar was alright. It took a while for me to get used to the texture of the marshmallow, but after a couple bites, it was ok.
Would I recommend this candy to anyone? If you like coconut, then yes ... or if you want to try a local specialty that isn't available here. Otherwise, I'd stick to something somewhat smaller, and a little more local ... like a Mounds bar or something.
