You have to invent a new type of candy or dessert, but if it's physically impossible or another commenter can prove it already exists, you lose. What are you making?
y'all're going about this all wrong, trying to come up with things that sound gross. the real strategy is to describe something you wish existed but doesn't. then if someone points out that it does, you "lose" by finding out about a food you would really like but were unaware of.
anyway, mine is coffee chocolate chip walnut ice cream (even though apparently op says new ice cream flavors don't count). so if anyone knows where I can buy coffee chocolate chip walnut ice cream, come own me so hard, I'll be devastated
I just buy different flavors that will go together, and overlap, so when one carton is 1/2 empty I’ll get a new flavor that will mix in. So there’s usually a 1/2 carton overlap.
Also mixins like chopped nuts and sauces are good now and then too.
If it's bad, doesn't it stop being candy? Candy has a half-life, decaying into just "food" by the time nobody regards it as a treat - something invented to be unenjoyable can be considered to decay completely in less than a second, from the moment it gets off production line.
Completely disagree. Show me an example of "candy" becoming "food". The definition of candy is basically a concentrated sugar product. Lots of people hate black licorice, but that doesnt make it not-candy.
Semi-relevant: I think that pancakes (not crepes) and waffles should be considered dessert, but here people eat them as the main course or part of the main course. I don't know if they were ever considered dessert though.
Also semi-relevant: fruit. Multiple kinds chopped in a bowl? Dessert. One whole singular item? A healthy snack/food item.
If we are allowed to count things that aren't sold as candy, this technically does exist. They sell bitterants for various things. Like to stop a child sucking their thumb or discourage pets from chewing/eating something.
I'm thinking a puff pastry roll filled with a minty sweet creamy filling and chocolate chips. That shit would be bomb, tell me it exists already so I can get some!
I don't think that already exists, but it seems like all you'd have to do is mash up some peppermint patties and put it into the center of a cinnamon roll sans cinnamon.
I'm gonna shred some vegan chocolate and put it with tomato sauce on a lightly toasted flat dough, then stick it in the oven. Pizza with chocolate instead of cheese.
Recently I tried some sea salt vegan chocolate, it was amazing. Chocolate and salt go way better together than I thought. So add that to savoury bread and a little tomato tang, I think it's a great idea. It's like a salty croissant.
Picture a small edible prism made of ultra-thin layers of sugar glass and gelatinized starch, but the trick is in the internal structure of each layer contains flavor “micro-reservoirs” embedded in lipid membranes tuned to dissolve at different osmotic thresholds, not time.
I'm thinking of something like an asthma inhaler, but you don't inhale and instead of medicine being ejected when activated a fine powder of concentrated flavor comes out. The powder flavors your saliva for a few seconds to a minute. And, since rumor has it that 50% of taste is smell, it a complimentary scent will also be exposed when activating.
Tasty flavor treat with minimal or possible even 0 calories.
My only concern is you will be breathing these chemicals in, so if there is any possibility of it being dangerous to you when inhaled, then that would be a bad thing.
Plus, this kind of sorta already exists in the form of vapes.
Candy that smells like the house I grew up in specifically. Totally possible, but guaranteed not to exist. (Especially because there would almost certainly be no market for it, even including me)
Personal sized pie crust, with one scoop of vanilla ice cream. Take one tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, and mix in brown sugar until saturated. Drizzle the resulting syrup over the ice cream. Don't know what to call it, but I'd try it.

Bitter Boys. Think Sour Patch kids, but instead of being coated in sour powder, it's extreme bitterness.

I'll take it, I guess. I was just trying to think of something so bad nobody would ever make it.

Some liquorice definitely counts as bitter to me

This is based off a candy in a book, that I can't tell if has ever been made:
Under its tamarind glaze, luscious pepsin-flavored nougat, chock-full of tangy candied cubeb berries, and a chewy camphor-gum center.
