Rum Candies

I just had a Ritter's Sport chocolate bar in the flavor rum, with raisns and hazelnuts. It was very good chocolate and had a nice dark rum flavor to it. I stupidly threw away the wrapper before looking to see if rum was an ingredient, but it tasted very fresh and clean, not at all chemical.

Are there any other candies that have a better than average rum taste to them?

As an aside, I like to make rum raisin ice cream by soaking rasins in Gosling's Black Seal and then mixing it into store bought vanilla (so lazy :smile: )

Thanks,

Kevin

Rum-flavored marzipan covered with dark chocolate. I think Niederegger (red foil wrapper) from Lubeck, Germany makes a version with rum. Great combination.

We used to get little chocolate bottles filled with liqueur but I think the filling was usually a brandy or schapps rather than rum. These were for hanging on the Christmas tree. It was always big fun for the kids to eat these and then pretened they were tipsy. Sadly, the quality of at least some of what is now available has decreased to include cheap waxy chocolate and watered down or fake liqueur...

"Under the dusty almond trees, ... stalls were set up which sold banana liquor, rolls, blood puddings, chopped fried meat, meat pies, sausage, yucca breads, crullers, buns, corn breads, puff pastes, longanizas, tripes, coconut nougats, rum toddies, along with all sorts of trifles, gewgaws, trinkets, and knickknacks, and cockfights and lottery tickets."

-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1962 "Big Mama's Funeral"

Thanks for the link! I actually had the 100g bar near the upper left on the products page (dark red wrapper). I will have to see about getting some of the ritter rum candies in your link - the website says they are available in Germany - so I don't know if that's the only place. I've never seen them in the U.S.

Thanks again!
