@cybele, Coffee Beat is one of the best coffee chocolates I’ve had-they’re almost as good as choco-espresso beans!

@DS, I’ll need to try the full size Apollo for comparison.

@Dkong, If you’re referring to Jelly Bellies being “…some US brand jelly beans…”, then I agree. The Poifull are delish as examples of Japanese candy, however, and I would eat a bag of these if given the chance. And yes, the tablet candies are not so much…

I bought the second pack at an anime con once (the one with lemon, yogurt, the jelly beans, and the chocolates).

All in all, I thought the jelly beans were great, but inferior to some US brand jelly beans. The chocolate was nearly the same as M&Ms. And the 2 “tablet” candies were gross, IMO.

The smaller Apollo Chocolates are somehow not as satisfying as the full-sized versions.

I really like Coffee Beat, they sell it in cool looking tubes. The perfect coffee/chocolate candy.
