Silky Gem Lunar Crystals – Traditional Vietnamese Lunar New Year Candy – Crunchy Outside, Soft Inside – 10-12 Pieces in 8 oz Jar – Vegan, Gluten-Free, Made in the USA

I found these very interesting! There's a light crunchy sugar coating on the outside and the inside is like a soft jelly bean. The flavors are unique which is why I bought this one. I saw some reviews about the flavors and I don't understand at all.... I got no soapy flavor and these definitely taste like what the chart says, plenty of flavor. There is a flavor or two that are sweet, but if you take your time and don't eat huge chunks at a time it's fine. The lychee flavor might not be right for everyone since it can be a bit perfumy tasting in general (not just these candies). As for the price, I did think they were pricey at first. Once I actually looked into the story about the small business and looked at the history of the type of candy, I changed my mind. Be warned that getting them seems to take some time and mine arrived about 7-10 days after I ordered them. They arrived just fine in the heat too

I do not recommend buying this silly gem lunar crystals because they are a flavorless candy. That tasted absolutely disgusting. The crunch was real but that is it other than sugar. There’s absolutely no flavor. I’ve giving this a zero minus. The presentation was not even there. All you tasted was sugar. I let different children. Try it of different ages and they did not like it.

I was uncertain about this order but it’s so much better than expected! It’s a product from a small business, and they did a wonderful job packaging it with care and love. They even included the sour glitter powder for FREE, which could be added to the candy if you’d like a more sour flavor. I loved the texture of these candies which is why they’re TikTok famous. They are crunchy on the outside and jelly on the inside. It’s such a unique and interesting texture and is perfect for a fun snack tasting activity with friends! If you don’t like crunchy candy, these won’t be for you! I loved the appearance of the candies and we all agreed that they really did look like beautiful crystals. I will say that some of the flavors were stronger than others, with some being almost too mild. I think the flavors lean more Asian than some people might be used to with flavors included like yuzu and lychee. I personally loved those flavors the best! People might view the price as high for what it is, but this price seems absolutely called for with such a unique difficult-to-create dessert item that takes effort to create by a small business. I see it at worth the price if you go into it knowing what you’ll get!

Taste like what candles smell like. Texture like orbees with a sugar crust.

Never tried crystal candy before this. NY kids have been seeing the trend all over tiktok and fb and IG. Suddenly they started talking about Silky Gem. So I caved and paid the ridiculous amount for this small container. 1st of all, the price, outrageous. 2nd, the texture and crunch of the candy I will give a 10/10. 3rd, the flavor lacks. I couldn't really taste much flavor of anything and it wasn't really sweet... like it was just like eating a hint of sugar crunchy gel. I think it could be executed better. They did give a sample of the sour glitter dust, that was actually pretty good and tasty. So thanks! Would I buy this again? Absolutely not. Would I try other products? Possibly, if the price is reasonable. I think people are just overcharging for things anymore.
