SILKY GEM - Treasure Box, Edible Crystal Candy, 16-18 Clusters, Multi Flavor, Kohakutou, Edible Gem, Vegan, Gluten Free, Christmas candy ASMR

My girls and I were so excited for this. Shipping fast and the box was decent sized and candy was very pretty. Texture wise it's fun - crunchy outside with a squishy gelatin inside. Flavor was almost non-existent!!! Everything had a "i think. It touched flavor once" taste!! Thought maybe it would be a flavor or 2, but the 5 of us took a bite of nearly every one in the box and they all tasted like that. HUGE waste of money!! Sadly, 1 star we (all 5 of us) do not recommends from us.

These candies are so unique and really delicious. It's a new concept. The edges and exterior are delightfully crunchy, and the inside is soft. The flavor is subtle, but you can tell which it is. I see people complaining about cost, but these products are made by hand by a team of people. Packaged in the most beautiful way I've ever seen candy packaged. Dare I say this packaging is even better than an engagement ring is. This company will continue to have my business, and I hope others will try it despite their opinion on the high price.

This candy was on my daughter’s Christmas list. I’d imagine the reason is because it’s hyped up on social media. And boy, is this candy nothing but hype. My daughter was so excited for her first bite and immediately said it was disgusting. Intrigued, I tried one. There is almost no taste. Texture is gross. Definitely not worth the money—they’re expensive! Also, the way it’s shipped is unhygienic. It is not sealed or anything. Any bug could crawl in the candy box or person could stick their fingers in it. I was completely repulsed by this purchase.

Let me start by saying that if you are used to eating candies and other “treats” that are synthetically flavored and heavily sweetened, you are probably not going to like these much. I feel like my family eats less junk food than the average American family, so our preferences are just a little different. We have been wanting to try these since seeing them on instagram and TikTok. We had a special family celebration so I ordered some. I got the smallest sampling option and it still came with lots of different flavors as each “cubby” in the box had more than one crystal candy in it. I do wish there was a little guide letting us know what was what, but we still had fun guessing. We enjoyed the light fruity flavors but the funnest part about these is the crunchy exterior paired with the jelly interior. It’s such a great texture. We couldn’t stop munching on them mostly for that reason. We really truly enjoyed it. The inside jelly part is like a firm jell-o type texture, and not like gummy or squishy if that makes sense. It reminds me of those gummies you could get when I was a kid that were shaped like orange wedges and had the granulated sugar on the outside? Quite similar to that. I would also say, getting the sour powder is a must. It elevates the flavor for sure and makes it even more like a delightful confection. Again my family really enjoyed these, and I would gift them but only if I knew for sure that the receiver liked this sort of thing. It’s definitely more about the exciting texture than the flavor per se.

I do not like the consistency of the gummy/jam, which is very soft and chunky like the plant soil jelly chunks. The flavor is very bland. The outer crunchy shell is the best thing about these. My Sister and Brother-in-law love em! 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

Not great. Beautiful candy don’t get me wrong but the flavors were not good. Not much taste at all

Firstly, they are exactly as expected and as seen on Tiktok. The texture was how I expected it to be and I'm impressed by the variety I was given. I was given three versions of the Lychee flavor, which I was the most excited for, but was unfortunately disappointed. I will say that other reviews with 1-3 stars complaining of texture or taste aren't the most accurate, especially if you don't know what you're getting before you get it. While I probably won't order these again simply because they aren't to my tastes, the brand is worth buying from if you're curious. About 50% of them tasted like the flavor they depicted, but all had a similar taste (probably from the agar agar/gelatin). There is also no ingredients list on the box, so please check the description before buying if you have allergies. They are crunchy/hard on the outside and a sort of harder jello on the inside, with the exception of one which was hard all the way through. The following flavors I received that tasted like the flavors they depicted were: Mixed Berry, Strawberry, Pineapple, Guava, Banana, Honeydew, Coconut Pandan, and Blood Orange (with a special mention of the Passion Fruit Mango, which didn't taste like that flavor but was good). The flavors I received that tasted different or like nothing but sugar and gelatin were: Pickle (I was super excited about this one and was very disappointed), Dragon Fruit, Peach, Pear (tasted like soap), Grapefruit, & Lychee (all 3). While some tasted similar to the flavor, they were all diluted and not very strong, which is disappointing. They'd be better to me if the flavors were stronger and "in your face". Especially the pickle! Don't be afraid of that vinegar flavor! Otherwise, they were all very pretty in appearance.
