The Chair of the Member's Choice 5 Cent Candy Follow-up Committee would like to thank all the valued BTS members who attended the November 7th tasting. 22 5 cent candies were tasted, discussed and evaluated. 100 points were allocated for each 5 candy based on taste (50 points), texture (25 points), visual appeal (20 points) and after taste (5 points). The official results are listed below the pictures of the 5 cent candy tasting.
