Candy “Coolness”

I must say that I really love these sweets. At one time they replaced the terribly expensive “BOUNTY”, which I often bought.

I prefer “Coolness” among others, although the price is not cheap.

These candies are not easy, which is why it turns out that you can’t buy or eat a lot of them. Expensive and filling.

We have a tradition at work: if someone has a birthday, then the birthday person buys chocolates for everyone. And these “Cool” candies are very popular.

Their candy wrapper is very beautiful, bright, and attracts attention. The candy itself is large and rectangular.

The most tempting thing about them is the filling, it is made from coconut flakes. Not everyone likes these sweets, they are a little hard for some who have weak teeth, the filling is really not soft and you have to chew it hard.

But they became much worse; their filling became, like pastille, too soft. I don't really like it. And milk chocolate has changed and it's noticeable. It's a shame that this happened to any of my candies.

Unboxing and Food Review Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts and Raisins "CHARLIZE", 100 g [TAKE TWO]

Chocolates are like sunflower seeds. If you eat one, then you can't stop. True, there is more harm from them than from seeds. Both for teeth and for figure. Although there are some unimaginable diets based only on chocolate, it is important to understand that such sweets are the worst enemy of a slim and beautiful figure.

Why? Because they are 50% or even more sugar. Sugar is a carbohydrate that is instantly transformed into fat. Fat is perfectly deposited on the sides and does not want to leave there. But calorie content also plays an important role. Because of it, after 2-3 candies, the strong feeling of hunger disappears.

Look at the table

The calorie content is really high. But 1 candy can weigh from 4 to 32 g. Adjust the calorie content to the desired weight and get the real energy value of one candy.

For example, Kara-kum weighs 12 g, then the calorie content of one such candy will be 62.6 kcal. If you eat 5 of these candies, the calorie content will increase to 313 kcal. A healthy diet requires a daily calorie content of about 2000 kcal. If you easily eat 100 g of sweets at one time, it means you have used up 4 parts of your daily supply. That's quite a lot. Especially for fractional meals. That is, you eat 4-5 times a day. 2000 kcal is divided into all meals. And this means that 100 g of sweets replaced one full meal. Or candy has become an additional source of calories. And this means only one thing - you have to run to the gym and work off chocolates.

But 1 candy will not cause serious damage to your figure. Therefore, when they say that you need to completely eliminate sweets, and then you suffer while looking at sweets, remember that it is important to know when to stop and not endure torture.

What can you substitute for chocolate candy?

As a rule, chocolates contain a lot of different impurities, sweeteners, and flavor enhancers. Unfortunately, the share of chocolate in them is kept to a minimum. Therefore, it is safer to replace the chocolate candy with a slice of dark chocolate bar. At least in this case there is a chance that you will get a concentrated and pure product. And don't forget that a whole bar weighs 100g, so divide it over several days. No more than one plate per day (3 pieces each).

Sweets are good for the brain

There is a good excuse for those with a sweet tooth - sweets improve brain activity. And this is also true. The brain really needs glucose. And there’s just so much of it in chocolates. But it’s interesting that the same glucose is found in cereals, vegetables, and fruits. Of course, in smaller quantities, but it is there. But it’s much more pleasant to get fuel for the brain with candy than with any cereal. And faster.

Therefore, you can eat sweets, but only rarely and in small quantities.

Reviews:

When you really limit yourself to some food, including candy, then you can’t help but feel like there’s a lack of this particular product in your body, and you want to eat it all the time. If you don’t set such strict restrictions, then you don’t have any particular desire to eat high-calorie foods.

Yes, it’s high in calories, but chocolate is irreplaceable; I’d rather do double the program in the gym. Of course, you need to be guided by your parameters.

When I was breastfeeding, I didn’t eat sweets, because there was a possibility that the child would get an allergy. Now there are no restrictions, so I can’t resist, I still eat one piece of candy a day.

I learned a long time ago about the high calorie content of sweets, but that didn’t stop me; I really ate them like seeds. Now I’ve practically stopped eating candy, and I immediately saw results: several kilograms disappeared completely.

It doesn't matter at all. I love sweets and eat as much as I like. I don't go to the gym. There’s not enough pleasant things in life anyway, if you also deny yourself chocolate, well, to hell with it. By the way, many of my friends note an interesting feature. Girls who are always on a diet have a bad character. Because they want to eat. As soon as they come off the diet, they turn back into normal people. And the aunties, who are chubby in life, adore and know how to cook and eat deliciously, are cheerful and joyful in life. I emphasize. This is not 100% of people, naturally, but very many!

• site visitors, please note: The guest who loves candy expressed her position very playfully and as correctly as possible, and the one who is on a diet was very nervous, angry and boorish. Isn’t this a confirmation that all the thin ones are evil, and the chubby ones are kind, well-mannered and understand the problems of OTHERS?

The memorable and individual taste of the delicacy in a rustling wrapper, of course, depends on the composition. Cocoa, sugar, salt, oils, seeds, nuts - this is not an exhaustive list of “innards”. A detailed list of ingredients is displayed on the individual packaging or box.

Interesting fact: in the State Standards (the first was approved in 1973, and the latest changes were made in 2014) there is no specific recipe for a separate type. GOSTs contain information about: varieties (classification), approximate ratio of filling to the bulk of the candy, presence and quantity of glaze, description of appearance, taste, smell, etc.

According to the standard, sweets are classified as follows:

1. According to the recipe and production technology:
   • with filling;
   • without filling;
   • fully or partially glazed;
   • unglazed and glossy.
2. According to the candy mass used:
   • fondant:
   • sugar;
   • dairy;
   • creamy.
3. According to tastes:
   • fruity;
   • vegetable;
   • combined;
   • dairy;
   • whipped.
4. Grillyazhnaya:
   • hard;
   • soft;
   • fruit-grilling (or vegetable-grilling);
   • halvichnaya;
   • fruity;
   • jelly (or fruit and vegetable jelly);
   • marzipan;
   • praline (and praline type);
   • cream;
   • liqueur;
   • chocolate.
5. Based:
   • fats;
   • croup;
   • dried fruits;
   • nuts;
   • candied fruits

And if we move away from the dry classification, then:

1. Chocolate candies. The basis of the content of chocolate candies is cocoa (grated, powder and butter), sugar, often lecithin and flavorings (flavors). If the filling is meant, then it can consist of milk, condensed milk, nuts, fruits, and much more.
2. Caramel made from water and sugar (or molasses) with the addition of food coloring and flavoring.
3. Bars More often they are chocolate, but they differ in that, in addition to the chocolate itself, they contain a variety of fillings: nougat, caramel, cereals, marmalade, etc.
4. « Cow» necessarily contains sweetened condensed milk; molasses, butter, sugar and flavorings are also added to it.

   “Burenka”, “Korovushka”, “Cream Cow” and other similar names hide approximately the same composition, except that the proportions are different.

5. The basis marmalade– pectin, which is sometimes replaced by gelatin or agar-agar. Sugar, syrup, molasses, and natural juices add flavor. Jelly candies, by the way, are a type of marmalade.
6. bird's milk Under the glaze lies a delicate soufflé made from milk (sometimes condensed), agar-agar and food additives.
7. Gummies consist of sugar, molasses, starch, natural juice (sometimes added), and food additives.

Composition of candies and bars from Rot Front and other manufacturers

The table shows the detailed composition of the most popular types of candies:

What additives are commonly used?

If we assume that the sweets are made entirely from natural products, then they should be stored for a few days. But in reality this does not happen. To improve taste and increase shelf life, add:

• natural flavors (beet juice, blueberry, currant, strawberry) and identical to natural;
• stabilizers and antioxidants;
• thickeners;
• preservatives;
• humectants;
• dyes;
• emulsifiers;
• sweeteners.

Not all of them are harmful, but some can cause allergies or stomach upset.

How to choose harmless ones?

When discussing harm, you must first decide what kind of harm we are talking about.

If you are a figure watcher and a fan of healthy eating, then any sweets will be harmful for you. But if you are simply afraid of possible allergic reactions or poisoning, then pay attention to the composition:

• it must be written in Russian;
• all ingredients should be familiar and understandable to you;
• The ingredient list should be short.

The expiration date should not be more than 2 months. The smaller it is, the better.

Eating unlimited quantities of sweets (and the type, brand and manufacturer does not matter) is harmful in any case.

Better yet, don’t deny yourself the pleasure of eating one or two candies with tea. Your mood will definitely improve and your soul will feel warm.

Consuming sweets in small portions promotes the production of the joy hormone and makes the brain work better.

Today, candy products are one of the safest products in terms of the amount of additional additives they contain. So eat for your health.

I recently tried coconut candies, which I didn’t like at all before. Last spring, while I was pregnant, I bought “Bounty” in packs of five, then “Pyaterochka” still had a promotion on them, I went for them every day and gobbled them up with my son) My son is also a lover of sweets. And then I decided to go through coconut candies and tried several varieties. One of them is candies from Akkond "Coolness".

Why I bought them, I just read the reviews, many people liked these candies, there are, of course, those who didn’t like them, however, for every product there is a lover and a dissatisfied one. I thought, why haven’t I bought them yet to try, especially since they are always available in “Magnits”, and constantly, and not like some candies that only appear from time to time.

I liked their appearance; in general, I always love when candies are decorated in blue, some kind of reminder of summer. Moreover, the pictures depicted on the “Coolness” candies are very, very reminiscent of summer, although it is not our nature that is depicted at all, this is not even important.

These candies look quite large, they are covered with glaze, at first glance it looks like milk chocolate, but when you eat these candies, the taste of the glaze is not at all like milk chocolate, it is something so distant, and in general, the glaze of these candies is not very tasty, with a strange aftertaste that ruins everything.

But the filling is okay, I like the filling, it’s milky coconut. Overall the impression was normal, I can’t say it’s great, but it’s not all bad either. It is possible, a rating of three is most likely, it would be a pity to give it a four, I seriously doubt this rating.

candy coolness

with coconut

The Bounty chocolate bar is amazingly durable. It appeared on our market as one of the first chocolate bars, about 20 years ago, at the same time as Mars and Snickers, and so far no one has gotten tired of it - it has quite a lot of fans. It is clear that there are always a lot of performers for a good idea, one of which was the Akkond confectionery factory (Cheboksary), famous for its intricate and original candies, waffles and desserts. In the Akkonda assortment, the pseudo-bounty is called “Coolness” sweets.

The design of the candy wrapper completely satisfies me: it is simple, unpretentious, and awakens exactly those associations that it should awaken - with the “Bounty”. And why try to come up with something of your own if we all have a connection with this bar anyway? The television advertisement “Bounty” imposed on us the association of the coconut with a certain tropical desert island, which, according to the creators of the video, represents a paradise. And Akkond did not reinvent the wheel, but followed a proven and well-trodden path. The same palm trees, the same sea, the same island...

The only thing that causes rejection in these candies is the so-called chocolate glaze. Yes, I know that “Bounty” is also made in milk chocolate, but it would be possible to at least deviate from the original in this regard? Show off your pastry skills? And how to create sweets, invent different desserts like inventing them - Akkond is capable of this, but it turned out to be rather weak in introducing something of its own into a familiar product.

The glaze is not only milky (I don’t like it), but it’s also of poor quality. It's hard to explain what exactly is bad about it. It seems to me that that's it. At least, when it was time to drink tea, and my hand caught “Coolness” from a bag of different candies, I was dissatisfied with the choice of my hand every time :) And since I don’t have any prejudices against coconut, I conclude that The chocolate glaze spoils the candy very much.

I have no complaints about the filling. Quite tasty. Although, however, it is difficult to imagine a product that can spoil such a simple and win-win filling. Coconut flakes are attractive on their own and require minimal additives. This is what makes it convenient.
