Melissa Says:

These are super cute little sugar balls. They're fairly bright, looking like a little raspberry type of shape. They taste like straight sugar, which they are. They're really yummy tasting, but definitely one to refrain from snacking on. Almost a bit too sweet, but one or two are pretty good. 

Will definitely be eating more of these.

Kimberly Says:

Okay, so I was fairly excited about these. They are adorable and I remembered them from Spirited Away and the soot sprites.

They're really pretty simple - sugar. Straight sugar. Crunchy little sugar bits. Delicious, cute, but very sugary. xD

I enjoyed them, will happily finish off the bag, and might buy them if I see them again.
