Is it true that the Mentos-Coke reaction works with other candies?

Unclear. The retrieved sources only partially address the claim: one notes that nucleation can start on any heterogeneous surface such as rock salt, and another suggests experimenting with other candies, but none reports a tested result showing other candies produce the geyser.
