There's a reason you don't see people munching on Sno-Caps when they're not catching a flick. This snack is definitely coasting on its history as a classic theater option. Sno-Caps have less fat than other popular chocolate brands, but you're not usually thinking about health when you're eating candy at the movies. The white sprinkles on top provide a nice crunch, but they also taste like nothing. We love a nice, bittersweet dark chocolate, but the cheap stuff in Sno-Caps doesn't have much flavor. Unlike many movie candies, Sno-Caps are made with semi-sweet rather than milk chocolate. Maybe if they had a less arrogant name, they would benefit from lower expectations. According to Merriam-Webster, nonpareil means 'having no equal,' so the name of these candies suggests that their taste is unmatchable. Nestle Sno-Caps are an old-fashioned type of candy called a nonpareil. The perfect serving size for this candy is the little individual paper packet you get when you go trick-or-treating, and even a handful of SweeTarts makes for a pleasant if unmemorable snack. A few pieces are okay, but a whole movie theater-sized box will leave your tongue and esophagus coated in dry, sour dust. Their second listed ingredient is maltodextrin, a carbohydrate that's known for its ability to absorb whatever liquid it comes in contact with (including the saliva in your mouth). SweeTarts are like zestier Necco wafers or conversation hearts with a little more pizzazz. Although they were invented in 1963 (via ), they feel like spiritual successors to the hard, dusty candies of the 19th and early 20th centuries. No, the real problem with these is their chalky mouthfeel. Although every color tastes exactly the same (and nothing like the fruit flavors they're alleged to represent), they have a satisfying level of sourness that doesn't go overboard into stunt territory. The flavor of SweeTarts isn't the issue here.
