These are great. They won't cure cancer or solve world hunger, but they're good dragees.
One complaint: They arrived in a plain, unlabelled plastic container. The legal disclaimer on the page here says (paraphrasing) "Don't trust this web page, trust the product packaging, for ingredients, etc." But there is no product packaging, no label.

Carob Powder, 1 lb. Light Roast Review

Carob Powder, 1 lb. Light Roast
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like a lot of other products by Barry Farms, I was first introduced to carob powder way back during my sons scouting days. Camping trips during the fall and winter months always resulted in the evening ending with a traditional "jawin" session around the fire, complete of course with hot cocoa and marshmallows, among other treats. In the beginning, real hot chocolate was used for it was easy to locate, and of course what the boys wanted and expected. The biggest problem we had with the real thing was the obvious caffeine high it used to give the boys late at night when we least wanted it. (As any of you with youngin's in your household can imagine, most kids don't need the bountiful effects of caffeine at any time, but especially late at night). After the traditional session around the campfire ended, a not so well liked and substandard other tradition would unfortunately follow. Trying to get the well wired boys to settle down and let the old men and ladies on the trip get some much needed rest.
Enter carob powder. Carob is a tropical pod that contains a sweet dark pulp that is very similar in taste and texture to cocoa. The pulp is dried and then ground into a powder that both appears and tastes similar to chocolate. It used to be something only available in health food stores. But now with the advent of the internet, it is widely available here and other places online. Despite carob powder being very similar to chocolate in calories and fats, it is nonetheless a healthier alternative. It contains three times the calcium found in chocolate, and more importantly to me, unlike chocolate it contains no caffeine. This was the true benefit we had in mind in substituting it for the cocoa at trails end each night. Make no mistake about it, carob is a little sweeter, but definitely not as flavorful as real chocolate ounce for ounce. Anyone expecting hot chocolate will be disappointed by a straight mug of carob. It's not only not as tasty, but it remains a little grittier as well when dissolved. Surprisingly however, my experience back in my sons scouting days proved that the boys got used to the carob powder very quickly, and actually enjoyed its little grittier texture. As for its flavor, straight carob brewed hot reminded a lot of the scouts of Yoo Hoo drink. Anyone familiar with the taste of Yoo Hoo can easily imagine carobs flavor. Even if we decided to spike the carob powder with a little real chocolate, we were still giving the boys a healthier drink, and of course a lot less caffeine. We went through quite a few pounds of it in my sons younger days. With very few complaints or disappointment.
In conclusion, I highly recommend carob powder for anyone that prefers a little healthier alternative drink to real hot chocolate, and without any of the caffeine. Or, if you just happen to be one of those poor unfortunates that is allergic to chocolate. I still today buy it from Barry Farms and take it along on my own hikes here for I am so used too, and have taken a liking to its flavor over the years. If you decide to give it a try, I recommend buying two or more pounds at a time to make the shipping a better deal. The Barry Farms carob is a very good quality product, and has been around for many years.
PS: By the way, like some of the other reviewers here, I recommend the regular or light carob powder over the dark brewed blend also available on Amazon. Carob is not like chocolate in that it gets sweeter and stronger when roasted a bit longer. In my opinion and that of others here, it just gets more bitter and less pleasant by the lengthier process...

'1880' Marzipan Figures by La Tienda Review

'1880' Marzipan Figures by La Tienda
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These cute little marzipan figures come in individual wrappers. Spanish marzipan is different from, say, German marzipan. These appear to be baked - slightly golden-browned on the surface and chewy in the middle, whereas German marzipan would be paler and a more uniform (wetter) texture all the way through. The flavour is 'toasty'. I love them.

Marzipan candy descends from a centuries' old tradition, the combination of almonds and sugar. The resulting 'dough' is quite pliable, and confectioners use this attribute to create whimsical figures before toasting them in an oven. The result is these marzipan 'figuritas'. There are about 12 per box.At the battle of Navas de Tolosa in the year 1212, it is said that the nuns of the San Clemente convent took care of the wounded soldiers. According to tradition, they ground up their stores of almonds in mortars and pestles, and then kneaded them together with sugar to create emergency rations. This type of bread (pan) produced with a pestle (maza) is supposed to have given rise to the name mazapán in Spanish - marzipan in English.

Odense Marzipan, 7-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Review

Average Reviews:

This marzipan is moist and delicious. It tastes much better than the German brand ( in the red foil paper ). I use it just as marzipan or in chocolate treats. When rolling it out it is good to use a little bit of powder sugar to prevent it from sticking onto the rolling pin. Because of it is not too dry you can re-roll it out if you are cutting out or needing to roll a thin layer for a cake.
This is also the cheepest place to get the marzipan, it is about 5.50 to 6.50 a tube out in the market.

Coconut Extract 2 oz.
I have been wanting to order this product for quite some time and hesitated because it was just one item I needed and found the shipping to be almost the price of the item itself. I gave in and ordered it as I was unable to find Coconut Extract ANYWHERE in my area and believe me when I say, I checked EVERYWHERE. Well, not only is the product exceptional, the service was more than I expected and worth every penny I paid. I got my extract THE NEXT DAY, a kind note was handwritten on the packing slip with an assortment of candies to boot. Being in customer service myself, it takes a lot to impress me. Consider me impressed! I would most definitely order from Cane and Reed time and time again!!!

I bought this after purchasing coconut extract from the grocery store. The store coconut extract didn't add any coconut flavor to my dish (coconut cupcakes or coconut bread pudding). This product did the trick. It adds a distinct coconut flavor and is delicious, but don't use too much - it can be powerful. I use this product whenever I need to add a little coconut flavor. The amount in the dram is small, enough for 2 uses, so I usually order 2 at a time.

Wilton 601-5580 1/2-Ounce Certified-Kosher Icing Colors, Set of 12 Review

Wilton 601-5580 1/2-Ounce Certified-Kosher Icing Colors, Set of 12
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've taken to making cupcakes and cookies and making icing letters on them... you know, an "H" on one cookie, "A" on another, and so forth, and arrange the cookies or cupcakes to spell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY or whatever the occasion might be. I prefer bold, rich colors, like jewel tone colors, so these gel colors fit the bill to get the bold color without watering down my icing. Only takes a few toothpicks of color to get what I'm looking for, so each 1/2 ounce color is going to go a long way. A good buy, all around. I will never go back to regular liquid food coloring!
Also, I know others have stated this but I'll say it again, the black color is good but you have to start with a chocolate icing, not a white icing.
**Update** I found another use for these Wilton colors by making colored sugar. I've used it with granulated sugar and with sparkling sugar (bigger crystals) and it works great either way, but the sparkling sugar is more, well, "sparkly" which I like since I use the colored sugar to decorate cakes and cookies with. Put the sugar into a Ziploc bag, take the tip of a butter knife to get some color on it, then wipe the color off the knife on the inside of the bag. (Does that make sense?) Zip up the bag, then mash the sugar around with the color until evenly distributed. The color will come off the side of the plastic bag just fine and blend in with the sugar. Then spread the sugar out on a plate or a sheet of foil to dry for a few hours. Voila!

Best of all, the icing colors can be mixed as needed to create an endless variety of custom shades for birthdays, baby showers, holidays, class parties, and other special occasions.
