I just tried those for the first time about five minutes ago. Heavenly.

You didn't NEED to tell me that those existed. I would really like to remain ignorant about all delicious candy things, TYVM.

Oh, I'm sorry. What I meant to say, was that I was sleeping this afternoon and dreamed about how wonderful it would be if there was such a thing as Caramel filled Hershy Kisses. Too bad they don't really exist. I was only dreaming.

I've got to go buy some more of those. I'm almost out.

You have my address, no?

Of course, the length of time licorice frogs hung about.........

<---These are my absolute favorites.

Goetze's Carmel Creams, sometimes called Bulls-Eyes. Caramel with Oreo creme filling. The best!

I must say, there are some serious candy fiends around these parts! I shouldn't even be opening this thread. I don't need to be checking to see if Robin's Egg's are available at the grocery store. I don't need to be contemplating a mall trip just to stop by the Sweet Factory and/or See's. My sweet tooth is working overtime here and I blame you all.

I've been lurking on this thread for a couple of days, so now I have to 'fess up.

This past August ('04), my Mom and Dad decided to rent a house in Cape Cod, MA for a couple of weeks. When I was a kid, we used to go every summer. I still have memories (and pictures) of an almost-12-year-old me sporting a black t-shirt with a Meatloaf "Bat Out Of Hell" iron-on. This trip would be different because my two sisters and I are all grown up (ahem), and everyone would be bringing their significant other.

It took about two days for us to hit the penny candy store. The first trip was innocent enough, a couple of Squirrel Nut Zippers, a few assorted Gummi creatures, a handful of Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. By the fourth day, it was bedlam. At every given moment, there were three or more flavors of fudge on the kitchen counter, a bag devoted entirely to Gummies (peach=good, whale=bad), Flying Saucers (that sort of melt in your mouth and have a bunch of sugar bb's inside), red, black, and brown licorice...

...if you think this thread isn't the source of a shopping list for more than one of us, you've got another thing coming.

Nestle Crunch Caramel. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Gemini Cricket · 01-26-2005, 05:41 PM

Chocolate Covered Almonds - Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, either or...

Twix - Regular Twix

Red Vines - Not Twizzlers (Bleh)

Haribo's Golden Bears Gummi Bears - Not Trolli, not Black Forest... Haribo only

Snickers - Regular kind, not almond. Tried it the other day, bleh.

Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bars - Reminds me of the London Underground.

I'm a sucker for a truffle. See's, Ethel M, Godiva. Especially chocolate truffles. Chocolate filled chocolate, doesn't get much better than that.

I'm also the rare marzipan fan. Almondy goodness!
