I'm going to have to look for See's.

Well,I couldn't find my lemon drops today,but I did pick up some Jujy Fruits.

Wow, I clicked on the Recchiutti link. That looks like some high-end candy. I'd feel like I was eating away a fortune with each piece. I must say, I did forget about fudge. Fudge is oh so very good. I think I'm going to make a small pan tomorow. My favorites are either plain chocolate or chocolate-peanutbutter.

It is a bit steep, but that keeps me from eating too much! lol

Spearmint leaves, the jelly kind. My Pop used to get them all the time whenever we went camping. The smell and the taste alway bring back a fllod of great memories.

Cheers!

Those are really good. You get the crunch of the sugar coating and then the cool from the mint all in a chewy little bite. Sometimes I like to throw an orange or cherry one, just to mix it up a bit. I definitely like the gummier candies. I'll eat sour worms or sour patch kids every now and again, but prefer the older kinds of gummies like said spearmint leaves.

Haribo is the be all end all when it comes to gummy bears. Did you know that if you put a gummy bear in a glass of water, it will grow really big?Just a silly little thing we'd do to them when I was a kid. They still keep there shapes and there little faces but they more than triple in size.

The prizes in Kindereggs definitely beat Cracker Jack prizes. Kinder also makes an incredible chocolate bar with a cream and hazlenut center. Sooo good. European chocolate is by far better than American. Although I do like to partake in a Hershey's with almonds once in a while. Especially when making S'mores.

How could I forget about Kindereggs! In my basement there´s still a small suitcase full of the prizes that came with them (I wasn´t exactly scrawny as a kid... ) that I somehow couldn´t throw away.
Just a few weeks ago I saw some sort of documentary about how people who collect the tiny figures and they pay high sums for the rarer ones...made me think, maybe the candy addiction of my childhood years does pay now?

It really could pay off. Like I said earlier, I collect PEZ, and you would be amazed at the prices that some of the real vintage ones go for. I'd be so incredibly happy if I found a suitcase full of them in my basement.

I don't see a link, and now I'm aching to know what the mystery yummy is!

Oh geez, now the link isn't working. Well, it is the UNO candy bar.
Some one tells me that The bozo Show used to give them out as well. MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM.

...

Oh yes, Annabelle's candy company--a San Francisco (OK, now Hayward, CA) institution! Viva la Rocky Road! Are they distrubuted nationally, I wonder?
(Parenthetically, it is so sad many Bay Area sweet-makers (i.e. Mother's Cookies, the Hostess plants in SF and Oakland, etc) have left the area. Nothing like the waking up to the smell of Twinkies and coming home to the smell of raspberry.

Berkshire Sisters?

I think that See's and Fannie May are both owned by Berkshire Hathaway, therefore, those in the mid-west may see some resemblence between the two companies.

 

[waingirl]

yum, candy!!!

I absolutley love Kit Kat and Twix bars. Love, love, love! Does anyone have a "Dollar Tree" store around them, they sell larger sized candy for .50 cents. I have one within walking distance from my work, but I always have a toothbrush at work also.

My favorite chocolate is Ghirardelli. I love the one with the caramel inside. I always have to stop at Ghirardelli Square when I go to SF.

I just had the milk chocolate squares with lunch. MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM. I have to agree with Ghiradelli.

 

[DancingSweetie]

sounds like my kind of lunch!

Chocolate G.I.? Good ol Hershey bar!

 

[J.S.Udontknowme]

Everytime I see Mallo Cups in a store I have to have one. "Marty wants a Mallo Cup"

Speaking of such, I was watching American Eats and they mentioned that the milk in a Hershey Bar gets soured during the processing. It is what gives it that flavor. I hadn't really noticed but it has been years since I had one anyway. I forgot to mention something they did though---M & Ms. Taste better now with their own chocolate rather than Hershey's in my opinion. [huh]
