I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so I'm not sure I would like these candies.

I'm allergic to potatoes, so I couldn't try these candies. But they look delicious!

These candies are delicious, but they're a bit time-consuming to make. I'm not sure I'll make them again unless I have a special occasion.

I'm not a fan of the texture of these candies. They're a bit too chewy for me.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my candies turned out too hard. I think I might have overcooked them.
