These Shiitake Mushroom Candy Canes Taste Like Cooked Mushrooms
Katherine Pendrill — December 24, 2020 — Lifestyle
Just when it seemed that every possible flavor of candy canes already existed, Archie McPhee has begun selling new Shiitake Mushroom Candy Canes.
Archie McPhee is a novelty brand that has previously sold pickle and rotisserie chicken-flavored candy canes in the past. Now the brand is offering up Shiitake Mushroom Candy Canes. These unusual candy canes feature a brown and white striped design and apparently taste just like cooked mushrooms. As Archie McPhee includes in the product description: "Shiitake Mushroom Candy Canes may seem odd at first, but they’re sprouting up all over the place." The brand even claims that Santa is a fan of the fungi-infused confection.
The Shiitake Mushroom Candy Canes are currently available from Archie McPhee in boxes of six.
