Nestle Sno-Caps

Day 28.
Sno-Caps are another movie theater candy box. These have been around for many years but something about the name just never appealed to me. Sno-Caps are nonpareils. What you may ask is that? According to Wikipedia, Nonpareils or hundreds and thousands, are a decorative confection of tiny sugar balls, traditionally an opaque white but now available in many colors.

Logo: Semi-Sweet Chocolate Nonpareils.
History: Sno-Caps were introduced in the 1920s by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1984. (W)

Appearance: Small chocolate chips covered with tiny white balls. The box contains quite a few nonpareils separated from the chips.
Aroma: Aroma of dark chocolate
Texture: Soft chocolate with crunchy nonpareils. Eat them quick cause they melt in your hands really quick
Flavor: Tastes like semisweet chocolate chips. Dark chocolate taste but with sweetness.
Calories:180/serving. Two Servings of 1/4 cup.

Rating: C+

Comments: Interesting candy. It tastes like chocolate chips used for baking. I wasn't too crazy about the sugar balls. I might try to make chocolate chip cookies with these...maybe the sugar balls will melt and coat the chips.
