Golden Lily Candies Review: Sweet Treats for a Sweet Tooth

Sweet Treats, But Not for Everyone!

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm a total sucker for sweet treats, and I've found a few that fit the bill without breaking the bank. Golden Lily candies are a solid choice for a quick fix when I'm craving something sweet, but they're not my absolute faves. They offer great value for money and are widely available, but they're not perfect. The build quality is decent, and the packaging is attractive, but the candies can be a bit too soft and sweet for my taste. I've had no issues with shipping or customer support, but the return policy could be clearer. I used them for a week, and while they're not the best, they're a decent option for those looking for a sweet treat on a budget. If you're a fan of soft and sweet candies, you might enjoy Golden Lily, but if you're looking for something more substantial, you might want to keep looking.

I'm a total sucker for anything sweet, and let's be real, my figure's not exactly the envy of the fitness crowd. But I didn't want to dwell on the negative, so let's talk about the amazing and affordable candies I sometimes (okay, often) splurge on - 'Golden Lily'. They're not my absolute faves, but they do the trick and won't break the bank.

The first thing you should know is that these aren't the best candies I've ever had, but they're a solid choice when I'm craving something sweet on a budget. They offer great value for money, but like any product, they're not perfect.

One of the things I like about Golden Lily candies is how widely available they are. You can find them in most supermarkets, which is a major plus in my book.

These candies are sold by weight, and while they're also used in gift baskets and arrangements, they're pretty attractive, so I get why they're a popular choice for those types of things.

Packaging

They're pretty lightweight, which isn't surprising given their small size. The packaging is a bit smaller than average, but it gets the job done - I can easily pop a few while I sip on a coffee.

The wrapping is actually really nice, though. It's stylish, gold, and holographic, with a simple, elegant design that doesn't clutter things up. Just a small logo and some text in italics.

The packaging is pretty minimal, though - there's barely any information on the back. Just the manufacturer's name and some details that are a bit hard to read.

I have to say, though, the wrappers can be repurposed as decorations. That's especially true if you've got kids around. But honestly, I just toss them out . It's also a great idea to buy these around New Year's because of their bright packaging and flavor.

Appearance and features

The candy itself has a unique shape. It's round, unlike most other candies that are long and thin.

It's not sealed and opens up easily.

The back of the wrapper is just as shiny, but silver, which looks pretty cool.

When you unwrap it, you get a nice, sweet candy smell. It's strong and vibrant, but not just like plain milk chocolate. You can also pick up on the caramel and nut additives.

Overall, the scent is really great – very intense without any harsh chemical or unpleasant odors. You could say that the smell of the candy already gets you pretty hungry and eager to take a bite. As I mentioned earlier, the candy is round, but not completely. It's slightly flattened at the bottom, making it stable, so you can safely put it on a surface.

I was surprised by how soft it is, even when kept in the fridge. It's like biting into a piece of play dough.

Filling and flavor

This isn't just a one-dimensional candy - it's got a filling and a pretty tasty one at that. The filling is more liquid than the rest of the candy and can ooze out when you bite into it.

Honestly, these candies are better enjoyed chilled. At room temperature, both the chocolate and the filling melt quickly. The chocolate coating is pretty thin, sweet, and milk-like, similar to Alpen Gold chocolate.

The second layer of the candy is a sticky caramel that reminds me of Snickers filling and is more liquid in consistency than Irn-Bru-flavored toffees. In terms of flavor, these candies are similar to Miller's Irn-Bru-flavored toffees, but they're softer and more chewy. Unfortunately, the candies stick to your teeth.

Inside the candy is a liquid filling that's super sweet and liquid, just like the rest of the candy. It holds its shape, but when you press down on the candy, it leaks out. In a way, it's similar to a liquid chocolate paste with nuts, but it's got a more intense flavor. It's a pretty bold and nice taste that works well with the other components.

The aftertaste is especially sweet. The sweetness is overpowering, even for me, and it's a major minus in my book. The candy feels cloying. You can also taste a hint of burnt sugar bitterness in the aftertaste, but it's not strong enough to ruin the experience and is overpowered by the intense sweetness of the candy.

I have to say, it's pretty tough to enjoy these candies without a drink, and the fact that they stick to your teeth only makes it worse.

But then I tried the coffee-flavored one, and it was perfect. The bitterness of the coffee complements its sweetness nicely.

In general, both the aroma and flavor of the candy are quite intense and well-defined.

One thing that's not mentioned on the packaging is the ingredient list. Unfortunately, this candy isn't the best in terms of ingredients, with a long list of additives and a decent amount of palm oil, but nothing too alarming.
