SILKY GEM - Gems Me Up - Edible Crystal Candy, 30 pieces, Random Flavors, Kohakutou, Edible Gems, Vegan, Gluten Free, ASMR

I normally don’t leave reviews but after ordering these and getting them I’m so disappointed. They came broken most in pieces. They were not what I was expecting either. They were super hard all the way through. Honestly they were disgusting. These were a birthday gift from my son who knew I had been wanting to try them. They came late after the shipping time. They had NO flavor whatsoever and the one or two that did tasted like what I think soap would taste like. I wish I could get my money back for this. $41 dollars down the drain.

Just order it! There’s a lot of negative reviews which I don’t see why! They are SO GOOD!! I’m addicted!! This is my 5th box in 3 weeks!!! I wish I could just go to the store and stock up!! It’s a little expensive but it’s SO WORTH IT!! Flavor is all there, the crunch is perfect and they are beautiful!!If you just want to try a couple pieces you can order that! Thats what I did when I first tried them! Look it up here on Amazon I think they are $7 or $8

This variety pack of crystal candles offered 8 flavors to sample, along with a complimentary pouch of sour powder. They were, lemon( lychee, strawberry, raspberry, strawberry lemon,, mango blue raspberry and cinnamon. The lemon was the stand out. It was by far the most flavorful and paired really well with the sour powder. Lychee was top two, although it wasn't a close top two, comparing it to the lemon. However, it tasted like fruit. The rest of the fruit flavored ones were bland, tasting like sugar. Cinnamon has hints of spice, did not taste like cinnamon and was hands down my least favorite. Ultimately, they reminded me of tasteless rock candy. Which is less expensive and at least has some flavor. More than half of the candies were not even that crunchy, which was something I was hoping for to satisfy my sensory processing. Overall, I was disappointed by the product and a little insulted by the cost for such a mediocre novelty item. Do yourself a favor and skip them. They aren't worth the price!

The candy’s are pretty. The taste not so much. Very bland flavors. The only flavors that were strong were lemon and lime. The outside texture is ok, but you have to keep chewing the candy and it’s tough to swallow. I wouldn’t buy these again. The 2 stars are for the looks of the candy only.

My granddaughter wanted this candy from watching YouTube and TikTok videos. I should've known then 😕. Anywho, the only good thing about this candy is the cute box they come in and the appearance of the candy. When I popped it in my mouth (the one labeled pineapple) and began chewing, I kept waiting and waiting for the flavor to hit me... needless to say, I am still waiting. The inside of it is like a gel (it reminds me of soft scrub gel or the cleaning gel you may use in your toilet) that tastes like what I imagine those little safety bead things in the small white packaging that says, "Do not consume. Keep away from small children." would taste like. I tried to smile while I chewed because she was so excited, but it was hard. Finally, she said, "Yahya, these don't taste as good as I thought they would."Well thank you Jesus, for her honesty because I thought I was going to have to eat the rest of that thing. I politely placed it back in it's wrapper, took it to work the next day, and threw it away. Don't waste your $30 on this science project. You will be mad!

I think this was a fun purchase to see what these actually tasted like. I would rate it a solid 3.5.Texture: I knew ahead of time that I wouldn't mind it. It has a crispy outside and a cross between jelly/gummy inside. I had heard people say they experienced grittiness but I did not. I really enjoyed the texture.Taste: This is where the score goes down a bit. I knew they were lightly flavored and I enjoy that but some of the flavors seemed off to me. I only liked about three out of the 8 pieces. I got a free sample of the sour powder and that helped enhance a few flavors. The pineapple one I received had no flavor at all. I really liked the Green Apple Pear and Passionfruit.Presentation: They are really pretty to look at and come packaged nicely. None of mine were damaged but shipping was terribly slow.

These candies are a 'love 'em or hate 'em' and I can not get enough! The flavors are subtle so if you are expecting the smack you in the face flavors of other store bought candies you will be disappointed. When you receive the candy Silky Gem suggest leaving them out for a couple of days or even putting them in the fridge. The temperature changes whilst travelling can effect the overall crunch. They are always really well packaged, like an expensive box of chocolates. These candies have a thin crispy outer shell and then a soft gummy middle. The middle reminds me of a firm Turkish Delight! These candies pair really well with Silky Gems selection of sour powders for a real punch! Overall I love these, have ordered multiple boxes and have always been really happy with the candy. Try them out.

People are definently hating on this product too much. The texture definently is a throw back since the inside breaks apart but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to do that. The taste is pretty sweet to me and the scent is pretty strong also which might be why people keep saying their getting headaches. I think it's good though. The crunch doesn't disappoint but I wouldn't get it again. It's pretty pricey and just tastes really sugary. Not bad though.
