Owyhee Old Faithful Second Go Around

As part of my vacation week out of town I have not had time to eat my normal everyday new candy bar. So to make up for it I had seconds of some that I had eaten before. Today I tried the Old Faithful for the second time. It didn't age as well as I had hoped as I bought these in early January. The chocolate was nice and may have even tasted better the second time around. However, the marshmallow cream didn't impress me much this time and had an aftertaste. So the moral is....eat your Old Faithful when you get it!

Owyhee Idaho Spud

Day 11.
The spuds also arrived in my gift box ordered from the Idaho Candy Co. where I received the Old Faithful. The Idaho Spud is a cult favorite in the northwest USA. The name definitely is intriguing. According to the amazing old fashioned wrapper the Spud made Idaho famous. I really hope this bar is wonderful just cause of its look and history.
In the first half of the 1900's many candy bars were named for foods but this is one of the few that is named for a vegetable. So down goes the spud....

Appearance: What a weird looking candy bar. Flaked coconut completely covering a small oval looking chocolate bar in the shape of a small potato. Some coconut had flaked off into the package. After I cut it in half the thick, solid and white creme was even more interesting.
Aroma: Overtones of coconut with minimal chocolate.
Texture: The creme was thick and hard to pull off but when chewed was kinda soft with a not so nice spongy texture.
Flavor: The creme was sweet without much flavor. The coconut chocolate covering had an average milk chocolate taste with mild sweetness.
Calories: 180 cal/package. 1.5oz

Comments: I love the idea of the Idaho spud. I just didn't think the interior filling was very edible. If you want a good Idaho candy bar go for the Old Faithful!
