The Owyhee Idaho Spud candy bar from Idaho Candy Co. may not be everyone's favorite bar; after all it was inspired by a potato. (I love potatoes.) And agar isn't everyone's favorite textural element, but I liked this bar (and the (gel-like) agar's contribution) much more than I thought I would.

This Idaho Spud bar was just like Steve Almond described in his 2004 book, Candyfreak. They have a slightly weird gel center; but they are very good. I also liked the fact that they were not too sweet.
