Irish People Try Idaho Candy Bars

[@inspectorwinship9538]

A family member of mine use to be the accountant for Idaho Candy Co. and would get free spud bars that were “imperfect” off the line. Great time to be a kid. I still love spud bars.

[@Wolfington359]

They're called "Spud Duds"! You can buy them in bulk bags directly at the factory in Boise!

I don't think you know how much "Idaho, take a bow" means to us 😂 That candy has been produced in the same building in beautiful downtown Boise since the beginning.

Hey, I don't want to bug you, but I have a question. Is the marshmallow in the huckleberry and old faithful also made with agar agar like the spud? I actually sent a message asking about that, but the reply only said said they were all gluten free. I definitely want to try the toffee.

@@crunchibles not a bother at all! Sadly, I don't know. However, I'll be at the airport tomorrow and I think they sell them, so I'll check!

[@Wolfington359]

If they were to make an ice cream potato ala the Westside Drive-In, then they'd definitely need to try some finger steaks and fry sauce too.

[@skeemray]

Huckleberries are a wild berry that are very difficult to cultivate. They grow in pine forests, mostly in the north western US. They look similar to blueberries, but are smaller and more tart, with better flavor, at least in my opinion. To get them you have to know where to find a good picking place, and they are favored by wildlife in the area too, (Bears love them). This combination makes them a fairly rare treat but so worth the effort.

[@andrewward9183]

i'm sure others have already said so, but huckleberries are their own, distinct, type of berry. closely related to a blueberry! but not that.
