Escargot

I purchased this little beauty from Kegg's Candy factory over on Westpark. Dubbed the "Texas Snail", it features alternating layers of caramel and marshmallow, with a layer of dark chocolate coating the "foot" if it were the real animal. The layering results in quite an interesting contrast in textures, from the fluffy chewiness of the marshmallow, to the sticky layers of caramel and the melting overtones of the chocolate. I found it rather difficult to bite through cleanly, and that is perhaps the design.

Certainly the sticky nature of the candy will not make my dentist happy.

But it is pretty, and tasty.
