Candy Slugs-LOL encyclopedia

 This is a relative of candied fruit slugs from Life of Lewa, mentioned in previous post.

As stated near the end of last post, this second product based off of and very similar to candied fruit slugs was to be included in the encyclopedia.

The following encyclopedia page below describes the sugar candy version of the candied fruit slugs. For full detail on this faux product, scroll down. As last time, I've included the encyclopedia page details directly below the image.

Candy slugs

Candy slugs are a look alike product of true candied fruit slugs. This product is an actual novelty candy for those who don't like the texture or thought of eating the actual candied slugs of the Junti region.

Each candy slug is a molded sweet that looks like the real thing, but is made entirely from sugary products. The centers contain marshmallow, coated with a layer of caramel, then encased with a raspberry orange jelly candy, and then dipped in chocolate.

Tourists and visitors like these candies over the real thing, and some buy them as a pleasant joke, letting some believe they're about to eat a real slug, just to find it's candy.

The main difference between these candies and the real candied slugs is the packaging. The label is different so you can tell the real thing from the novelty sweet.
Note, it says Candy slugs, not candied fruit slugs. And the bottom specifically states they are chocolate coated slug shaped candy.
