However, if you go the ground vanilla beans route, it's probably best to grind your own. I'm nearly sure that vanilla bean paste is not the same thing.

I don't think I've seen ground vanilla beans sold labeled as that. Question: When you say “ground vanilla beans” is that vanilla bean paste?

Reminded me of the Sugar Daddy's I had when I has a kid, but better. They are ridiculously chewy. So much so that I just suck on them. They dissolve pretty quickly in your mouth so chewing isn't a necessity. I find it's a good way to save your fillings. These were very good.

Also, we all agreed that they were excessively chewy. Everyone liked them, but they really stick to your teeth which makes them kind of hard to eat.
