Durian Candy - 6.34 oz / 180 g - Product of China

Love it! Amazing taste!

I have never had actual durian fruit before, but I love trying new foods. I used this candy as a sort of test. I now understand why many people are disgusted by it, and also why many people adore it. It really is both at the same time. The taste is unlike anything else and it's impossible to make a comparison. Personally, I really enjoy this candy. It's addictive. I also gave it to a Chinese friend who grew up in the Philippines to see what she thought of it. She's eaten the actual fruit, so I asked her how the candy compares to the fruit. She says the candy is sweeter and she could taste the coconut milk. The candy also doesn't smell nearly as strong as the real fruit. You could enjoy the candy on an airplane, without the Captain making an emergency landing to drag you off the plane. The same can't be said for the fruit which is banned in most public places. I have went on to try another durian product on Amazon.... the banh with salted egg yolk which is also very good - if you like the taste of durian. My plan is to get accustomed to the flavor and aroma of durian through other products before trying the fresh fruit at its most stinkiest. If you love durian, you will like this product. If you are unsure, this is a cheap way to find out. That being said, durian is definitely NOT for everyone. It's something that you will either love or hate, there is nothing in between.

This one taste like a strong creamy blue cheese. Not a lot of fruit taste. Smell is very strange, but i think that's just the packaging? Overall, not bad, but not the best ------------ Update: I tried a second one. After knowing what to expect, these taste great if you like funky, cheesy, and oniony durian. The fruit does come through. *WARNING ALSO* - YOUR BREATHE WILL STINK LIKE DURIAN These are STRONG SMELLING

This was absolutely disgusting. It tasted like butane. It was the worst tasting candy I have ever had. Somebody told me to try it because they said fruit was their favorite so I tried it and oh my it is an acquired taste. I’m sure it’s wonderful to somebody, but it was awful to me.

I was in Singapore this year and ate one night in Chinatown. As I was walking out of the restaurant the worst smell of my life permeated the lobby. Once out in the alley way I discovered it was a Durian cart vendor. The closest smell has to be standing about two feet from an open sewer pit. Durian smells that bad to me. Another street vendor selling Chinese candy had Durian hard candy for sell. Each piece of candy is sealed. I then flew to Stavanger, Norway to meet a vendor. Norwegians I thought were in a class of their own with awful candy. They like Dundersalt which is ammonia, sugar and salt made into hard candy. Dundersalt is bad however several of the Norwegians tried Durian candy and immediately sprit it out proclaiming it was the worst thing they ever tried. Once back in the USA I gave it to several coworkers, most spit it out immediately one poor lady threw up. My kids who were al excited because dad had brought candy home from Singapore tried the candy and all spit it out. The Durian candy has exceed my expectations as the worst candy in the world. I am writing the review to let you know if you grew up eating Durian I have no doubt it is truly the "King of Fruits" to you it is mothers milk. For me and my wife we will give this out on Halloween to all the teenagers who are Trick or Treating. This is the perfect candy Halloween it is truly awful tasting as will make a good trick. I do recommend this product as one heck of a trick.

I bought a bag of these to add to this year’s Halloween candy as a “trick” for the trick-or-treaters. It cost me around $20 after all the various fees and the quantity isn’t very large. The taste is as I expected. It’s durian. For me, that equates to a taste similar to a creamy hard toffee that’s been mixed with raw onions or garlic. Oddly enough, I think it starts tasting better the longer I suck on it. It’s perfect for pranks! just wish it hadn’t been so expensive.

I bought these for my husband who loves durian. I am not a fan of durian, so I asked him about these: he says they taste just like eating durian, they last a bit so he enjoys that, they are unique and made a fun addition to a gift, and they brought a smile to his face when he eats them! When he eats them, you can absolutely smell them, so make sure you are already a fan! Even though i'm not a fan, I was happy to find these for him and will include them in future gifts for him.

I have heard durian flavor described as rotting flesh, poop, vomit, and shoe leather. After tasting this durian flavored candy, Husband said he could eat it, but it would not be his first choice. My sister spit it right out and said it was mineraly and sewer like reminding her of old plumbing. To me it was nice and tasted like a regular butterscotch candy. I guess it really depends on your taste buds. It's like how some people feel cilantro taste like soap and some (like me) think it is delicious and leafy and love it in a taco and salsa. Fast shipping, good price, and good for a new experience and laugh if nothing else. I personally think it tasted like any other candy, but you buy your own and see for yourself.
