They smell like flowers but these are some of most favourite candies.

OOO. ME CURIOUS.

We should arrange a candy swap sometime, we're such a continental crowd. You know, each of us send someone in another country some local non-perishable junkfood.

By the way, I know we have a few Mexican forum members, tell me something! Have you ever heard of this, or is it stupid-rednecks/Gio-pretending-to-be-Mexican candy? God damn I love these. Watermelon too. When I was in school no one would ever give me one or sell me one (kids would sell them to each other) because I was the uncool kid. Also Mexican Coca-cola > US Coca-cola. Luckily, I can get the former where I live very easily.

Pop Tarts rule, of course. Toaster Streudel (did I spell that right?) has NOTHING on Pop Tarts. NOTHING!!...ahem.

My favourite Pop Tart flavours are raspberry frosted, blueberry frosted and S'mores. All of them untoasted. Somehow, I don't like my Pop Tarts heated. I like 'em plain and cold.

I've never had a Toblerone in my life, though. Now I feel like I'm missing out.

Denver has a large Mexican population, so a good number of my employess are Mexican.  I was once given one of those watermelon pops with the chili powder on it.  I had to rinse a good bit of the poweder off ebcause it was too spicy for me.  I still find the thoughts of putting chili powder on candy rather odd, but whatever floats your boat, right?

Count me in among those who do not toast their Pop Tarts.  Except on rare occasions.

Also, I've had those Aero chocolate bars before.  I particularly like the one with mint.

Star Wars PopTarts!

One subject related to this thread is that cooking accidents can lead to fire.  Has anyone else ever had an accident with fire?

As a 'latch-key' kid, I often got home after school to an empty house (the pets were there but they don't count in this case.) and I learnt to cook for myself even if it was simple things like heating up sausage rolls, some bangers and mash or fishfingers and chips, the last one using a small deep fryer.

Well anyway, I made the mistake of making fishfingers and chips while watching a 'You can't do that on Television' rerun and I wasn't paying attention and before I knew it, the oil got too hot and the oil caught fire.  I at least remembered that I had some wet blankets soaking in the washing machine so I attempted to cover the fryer with a wet sheet just as mum got home. she ran in quick and turned off the fryer and used the extinguisher which I totally forgot about.

Needless to say, I was in deep doo-doo for quite a while after that.

I wonder if I ate these when I was a kid...

Caramello is my favorite type of candy bar.

I think that I must have broken my taste buds or something, because not only am I a really picky eater, I don't even like chocolate unless it has caramel in it.

So how long has your taste for chocolate been this narrow?

Oh god

I wanna go to Australia and have a few drinks with you.

Well you would be coming to the right part of Australia then, South Australia with McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and the Barossa Valley, practically are the wine centres of Australia.   We also have New Zealand cheese!

Snack - Milk Chocolate filled with strawberry, pineapple, orange, coconut ice, turkish delight and caramel flavoured fondants.
Marble - White and Milk Chocolate mixed to look like marble with a hazlenut prailine centre.
Cherry Ripe - Cherries and coconut smothered in rich 'Old Gold' Dark Chocolate.

With the exception of Caramello I haven't even seen those in the UK, let alone the States. And Marble sounds to die for.

Shattered, Over here in Oz, Cadburys and Nestle are the most popular chocolates with Mars Incorporated and Kraft Foods not too far behind, brands like Hershey's on the other hand tend to be pretty marginal over here.

yeah hersheys candybars are just too sweet, that´s why my favorite is the dark chocolate.

Now that i remember, I had a toblerone about 2 or 3 months ago, it surely is a ultra high quality chocolate, a little pricy, but the taste is awesome.

There is also one cholate that is kind of a luxury but it worths every penny (o should i say peso)



Ferrero Rocher , a chocolate covered with finest nuts on the exterior, and inside a small fine layer of cookie with a filling of hazelnut cream, the first time I tasted one of those i remember calling it Orgasmlate

The link above is the Ice Cream Delivery Service that comes around our place in Adelaide once a fortnight (14 days), you know its them a couple of blocks away with the old fashioned bell that it dings slowly as it goes by.  They sell icecream by either the boxful or by the tub.

I usually get the Choc Milks every second visit, Chocolate Cones for mum and once in a while, we get some Vanilla Icebergers or try out a new product if it sounds good.
