Butter Balls Butterscotch Flavored Pecker Pop

A candy shaped like the bachelor party novelty it imitates

Pick up a Butter Balls Butterscotch Pecker Pop and the first thing you register is its weight, which sits at about 0.2 ounces. It is light enough to forget you are holding it, yet solid enough that the candy keeps its shape. The body is a tan butterscotch confection with a smooth, glossy surface that looks freshly set. Brush a finger across it and you will feel the same slight sheen you would expect from a hard candy that has been poured and cooled. The shape is built around two rounded parts, which is where the product gets its playful name. The pop leads with a rounded tip and a wider base, so the lollipop reads at a glance as the novelty it is meant to be. Holding it by the stick keeps your hand clear of the candy, and the stick is the only part you are meant to handle while you work through the rest. Flavor is butterscotch, and it is the dominant note from the first lick onward. The sweetness is rich and buttery rather than sharp, and it develops as the candy softens on the tongue. Because the whole thing is edible, there is nothing to rinse or unwrap beyond the outer packaging, and the product is meant to be eaten rather than reused. At 1.48 ounces per pop, the item is a single serving of confection with 164 calories. The sizing is a single, consistent piece, so there is no range of dimensions to compare. Each pop arrives as one unit of candy on a stick.
