Never seen cinnamon pudding beforr but it wouldn't be very difficult to make

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Whipped seafoam and cattail mousse.

[–] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 57 points 3 days ago (4 children)

y'all're going about this all wrong, trying to come up with things that sound gross. the real strategy is to describe something you wish existed but doesn't. then if someone points out that it does, you "lose" by finding out about a food you would really like but were unaware of.

anyway, mine is coffee chocolate chip walnut ice cream (even though apparently op says new ice cream flavors don't count). so if anyone knows where I can buy coffee chocolate chip walnut ice cream, come own me so hard, I'll be devastated

buddy pls

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

You completely understand the premise, i hope i worded it okay

[–] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I made coffee and walnut biscuits once. Lovely recipe, and chocolate chips would be an excellent addition. Yum!

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I just buy different flavors that will go together, and overlap, so when one carton is 1/2 empty I’ll get a new flavor that will mix in. So there’s usually a 1/2 carton overlap.

Also mixins like chopped nuts and sauces are good now and then too.

Chocolate Epstein files

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Bitter Boys. Think Sour Patch kids, but instead of being coated in sour powder, it's extreme bitterness.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Kind of sounds awesome. Bitter sweets are special

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I'll take it, I guess. I was just trying to think of something so bad nobody would ever make it.

If we are allowed to count things that aren't sold as candy, this technically does exist. They sell bitterants for various things. Like to stop a child sucking their thumb or discourage pets from chewing/eating something.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The bitterants to stop thumb sucking just made me like bitter flavors lol

I did stop eventually but not because of those. They tried so much.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But has anyone put it on gummy candy?

[–] Watermark710@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Not exactly what you asked, but Myreli makes a bitter melon flavored gummy.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Apparently, yes.

Haribo does make bitter flavored gummy bears sold by prank shops.

De-tangled cotton candy. Just a single razor thin thread of sugar like a mile long.

I just love this description so much ❤️

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Sounds kind of like dragon's beard candy.

[–] jaycifer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I could go for some mint chocolate syrup poured over vanilla ice cream. That would slap. Please make me lose.

[–] badlotus@discuss.online 12 points 3 days ago

Honey butter aerogel with suspended almonds and pistachios in a dark chocolate cone.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 11 points 3 days ago

Nice try, Slugworth...

[–] Cellari@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Healthy chocolate pudding!

[–] FritzApollo@lemmy.today 10 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Stir-fry flavoured ice cream.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't know if a new flavour of an existing confection counts.

OP?

Phase-Order Candy Prism.

Picture a small edible prism made of ultra-thin layers of sugar glass and gelatinized starch, but the trick is in the internal structure of each layer contains flavor “micro-reservoirs” embedded in lipid membranes tuned to dissolve at different osmotic thresholds, not time.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I am intrigued! Bring it to shark tank/dragons den

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm thinking a puff pastry roll filled with a minty sweet creamy filling and chocolate chips. That shit would be bomb, tell me it exists already so I can get some!

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I don't think that already exists, but it seems like all you'd have to do is mash up some peppermint patties and put it into the center of a cinnamon roll sans cinnamon.

Also, to me, it kind of sounds disgusting.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

sulfur hexafluoride poprocks.

There's a good chance they'll still pop and sizzle a little bit, but the gas they release will cause your voice to lower.

[–] danciestlobster@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Sounds very fun. I'm in

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Personal sized pie crust, with one scoop of vanilla ice cream. Take one tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, and mix in brown sugar until saturated. Drizzle the resulting syrup over the ice cream. Don't know what to call it, but I'd try it.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Call it the BoxOfFeet

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Chocolate-coated tacks.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 6 points 3 days ago

Nice try, Wonka

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 5 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'm gonna shred some vegan chocolate and put it with tomato sauce on a lightly toasted flat dough, then stick it in the oven. Pizza with chocolate instead of cheese.

I'm thinking of something like an asthma inhaler, but you don't inhale and instead of medicine being ejected when activated a fine powder of concentrated flavor comes out. The powder flavors your saliva for a few seconds to a minute. And, since rumor has it that 50% of taste is smell, it a complimentary scent will also be exposed when activating.

Tasty flavor treat with minimal or possible even 0 calories.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Somewhere around 2010, there was a chocolate spray.

Are we reverse engineering vapes

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

More like a fine powder version of sour candy mouth spray.

Candy that smells like the house I grew up in specifically. Totally possible, but guaranteed not to exist. (Especially because there would almost certainly be no market for it, even including me)

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 2 points 2 days ago

cum flavored taffy

[–] paraplu@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

This is based off a candy in a book, that I can't tell if has ever been made:

Under its tamarind glaze, luscious pepsin-flavored nougat, chock-full of tangy candied cubeb berries, and a chewy camphor-gum center.

[–] JakoJakoJako13@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Silk worm cotton candy. Infuse the silk with sugar and flavors. Roll it into a ball and shove a stick in it.
