Coffee Rio Candy - Assorted Flavors , (3 lb Bag)

I am a Rio addict. I usually get them at Trader Joe's which has a difficult time keeping them i stock. Since the Corvid-19 confinement, I went online to search and to my surprise they come in different flavors. YES!!! A bit pricey but what a find. Flavors are excellent, especially the mint.

The mixture was very nice.

I bought this item to try other flavors of Coffee Rio. I can buy the Coffee Caramel locally at Trader Joe's. I was disappointed in the quantities of each flavor. It was mostly Coffee Caramel and there were no Raspberry Mocha. I won't buy this again.

Both my adult son and I have become slightly addicted to these little coffee gems. We possibly consume more of them than we should, but I strive to always have some on the side table in the living room, to keep the son coming around often.

how much caffeine in each candy? how many does it take to equal the same amount as a cup of coffee?

For $11/lb, the only reason I bought this was to get variety. No Irish Creme flavor at all, and lots of Caramel Caffe and Coffee Caramel which I can not discern any difference between them. The only thing different is that one name is in English, but both mean the same thing: coffee flavored caramel. The Kona is slightly more bitter than those while the Latte flavor is slightly blander. I really wanted the Irish flavor which actually has a distinctly different flavor.

Through the past experience we loved the classic Coffee Rio candies, which were made of a few natural ingredients. However, this time I bought the candies, of which those wrappers are identical with the classic. But candies are made of hydrogenated oil ( not butter) and other bad ingredients with artificial flavoring and tasted really bad.

The flavor on these are amazing! The only thing I wish is that there were more Raspberry and less mint, but that is just my personal taste.
