Using Imagery to Describe

Roald Dahl describes pear drops as having a "dangerous taste" because they "smelled of nail varnish and froze the back of your throat."  Describe one particular type of candy using this kind of imagery.  Write a few sentences which show about your choice of candy and appeal to my sense of sight, taste, touch, hearing, and/or smell.

War heads, the smell of fear. The taste is powerful, mind blow and your eyes cant help but twitch. They come in small packages but and are round, they come in all different mind blowing colors. War heads are firecrackers that go of right when hitting for tounge.

A scrumplidumcious snicker bar!
A scrumplidumsious snicker bar is the sweet sensation that blesses your mouth. The gooy and putty like jelly from one end to the other is like the magic that awaits. While having half a dozen choclate brownie nuts awaiting to be slaubered by 5 year olds.

Sour gummy worms. The rush of sugar in your mouth mixed with the flavorful candy. They are long and squishy: coated with delicious sugar. Sour gummy worms are neon bright colors. Every now and then they gat stuck in your teeth and are a pain to get out. But over all they are scruptious and a terrific sugary treat.

A kit-kat bar. The deliciousness of that gooey, creamy milk chocolate cover with the crunch of the crisp, irresistible wafer inside. It all leaves you in a mess, but not being able to stop eating the explosion of irresistible goodness. It's like a bomb of sugar, spice, and everything nice went off in your mouth, and it left behind the goodness
of a creamy, soothing after taste.

TWIX, Twix, twix...OH MY!

The thin chocolate shell disguises the delicious taste of sweet, sticky caramel and crunchy cookie bar. Twix provides the perfect combination of texture when you bight it: crunchy; gooey; delectable. Twix is perfect for delighting your taste buds. The sweet taste of chocolate mingles with that stretchy caramel.
Also, it only has like 30g of saturated fat and only about 400 calories! No, really, it only has 9g of saturated fat and 250 calories. Healthy, right?
*I only know this because I just ate one - not because this is common knowledge* - Im awesome

The classic candy cane is a sensational taste that explodes in your mouth with icy flavor.When you take the wrapper off, a smell of mint mouthwash, or maybe even cool breeze toothpaste, washes over you. The hook-shaped sweet has diagonal stripes, and a licensed challenge. Who can go the longest without breaking the curve? We hang them on trees, we eat them endlessly, but either way, a candy cane is the old, beloved sweet we all know.

"Squish", "Squish", "Squish": the sound of somebody chomping their jaws sore on some sweedish fish. I turn around to see a smile blooming on their face. I can imagine the bright taste of strawberry goodness overflowing your mouth. The best part though, is, when you think the mouthful of sweetness is over you find one last hunk of it stuck in your toot. Ahhhhhh the joys of sweedish fish.....

Every scrumtious peice, melting in your mouth, that mysterious minty flavlor leaves you wanting more. Who knew bite size candy could be so irresistible. When the box is gone, you wish you had saved some for later.

The sour skittles.
Sour skittles is the dangerous circled pieces of candy. The sour part has this tangy taste that can sting your mouth for days, sometimes it can leave a little scare so you wont forget it just like their buddies the sour patches.This part makes you want to taste more of the little sour bugs.But when you get past the first level the sweet enjoyable part has come and it makes you feel like you had just seen the rainbow and slid down it and you found a pot of gold at the end.

Chocolate Covered Raisins

This delectable treat explodes with flavor in my mouth while they melt in my mouth making me want more. They feel like smooth pebbles at the bottom of the pond. The sweet aroma of the chocolate lingers in the air making you wish you had more. It looks like a tiny scoop of delicious chocolate ice cream on an ice cream cone. The raisins sound like an acorn hitting the roof of my house when ever I drop one. -Liam Celuzza

Biting into that milk chocolate Hershey bar made my mouth just water even more. It was like I was in a whole new world...a milky, heavenly, new world. The smell was hypnotizing, playing with my nose, making me want more. I looked at the perfectly shaped bar my hands were holding. Melting in my hand;it just shows how milky it is. Each piece perfectly shaped with HEARSHEYS etched on each perfectly tiny piece. only 11 more pieces...mmmmmm I sweetly devoured the rest all in one bite.

The taste of war heads is sensational. When hits the tip of your tongue your eyes start to burst with water. You face becomes so red because of the sour, sweet, delicous taste. It feels as if you have fireworks exploding in your mouth.

Juicy Chewy Twizzlers Twists. Edidble candy straws that come in flavors cherry and strawberry. The middle is hollow, but the ends are sealed, so you have to bite of both ends before it is an actual straw. Once both ends are open, you can use the twizzler as a straw. When you are finished drinking, you can eat the twizzler!

Skittles, every bite has a unique flavor. Each little bag is like a pocket sized rainbow with an array of colors. As the skitles slowly disapear and leave you with nothing but an empty bag your mouth feels full of colorful and delicouse flavors.

What is that awesome smell?? Could it be lollipops? No. Skittles?? Doubt it. I know! Caramel Candy, that sweet smell of honey, as though it was just off a tree. An amazing texture of smoothe rock that you'd wanna skip across a lake. Hey, the taste isn't too bad either. The name kind of gives it away, but I'll tell you anyways. It tastes of golden caramel that had just come out of the factory. YUM!

Devouring the thin wax wrappings surounding the small roll of goodness. Sinking my two front teeth into a deep chocolate ecomba. Letting the feel of the delectablecandy invade my mouth like a tiney sugary army. allowing the delacase slide down my throught in to the cavity of my stomach. Making it feel the need for just one more.

Hershies cookies and cream,
have a very irresistible taste. With the white choclate and the little cookie crunchies all in the bar. Together, they make a perfect taste.

oh pretzels are scrumptious alright, but with the mouth watering taste of chocolate combined with the slight crunch of a pretzel, M&M's are better then ever! As soon as you impatiently slit the cerulean bag open with a sudden force, the rainbow chocolate-pretzels soar across the ivory room and plummet to the mango colored slate with a werrrrrrrrr!
