Delicious! Thu May 29 15:11:54 -0700 2003 0 roger g 1 280321 I notice them all the time now. I've seen them at Newsroom Cafe in West Hollywood. We even have them in the little sandwich shop in our office building. I've found they are only good if really fresh. Now if we could only find someone who carried Cherry Ripes, we'd never have to go back to Oz. Thu May 29 15:17:49 -0700 2003 280320 0 Home Chef 1 280323 Bay Cities Deli carry them in Santa Monica as do the three English shops, Wilshire and 15th; Second street and Santa Monica Blvd and Santa Monica Blvd between Ocean and Second. As well, yes, they are now popping up everywhere. Cherry Ripes are available from the LAOutback shop in Laguna Beach. (who also run a website) Thu May 29 15:42:07 -0700 2003 280320 0 ram 2 280327 I've seen them at Cost Plus Thu May 29 16:15:32 -0700 2003 280323 0 LisaN 3 280972 Cost Plus has a wide variety of very good and unusual candies. Be careful, though, as the turnover is not high on many items. If there's any dust on any of the wrappers in the box, move along. Also very noteworthy at Cost Plus: Peach Buds. Peachy hard candy that get me through the "gotta have a sweet snack" episodes at work.

Thu May 29 19:10:43 -0700 2003 280320 0 Ruth Lafler 1 280364 bristol farms carries them... Thu May 29 20:32:27 -0700 2003 280320 0 lachica 1 280380 Thank you for the suggestions. I tried Bay Cities Deli today and the buyer said they've been out for a couple of months because as soon as they get them in, people buy them by the box and clean them out. She took my number and will call me as soon as they arrive, probably the first of next week. Great service and apparently a hot item. I used to get them at the car wash on Westwood and Santa Monica Blvds. but they stopped carrying them so I stopped washing my car there.

It hit the spot with my afternoon tea. If you really need a fix, you might consider UCLA as a place to buy some. The candy is absolutely fresh and has a reasonable rate of turnover. But I don't think most students are aware of the joys of the Violet Crumble experience and instead opt for more conventional bars, leaving the Violet Crumbles to those of us in the know. Fri May 30 20:36:26 -0700 2003 280380 0 Cattus 1 280433 Any student store at UCLA carries Violet Crumbles. I often buy one for a study break. If you like Violet Crumbles, you also will probably like Cadbury Crunchy -also chocolate covered honeycomb but longer and thinner with slightly higher proportion of chocolate to honeycomb. Fri May 30 14:59:25 -0700 2003 280320 0 Cattus 1 280587 Sorrento's also carries these (just finished one). In Culver City on Sepulveda, a couple of hundred meters south of the Pavillions shopping center. Sun Jun 01 17:46:01 -0700 2003 280320 0 gj 1 282433 They have them at the Burbank Airport. not that that's that helpful to you unless you're catching a plane.....but I thought I'd mention it nonetheless! :) Fri Jun 20 02:57:01 -0700 2003 280320 0 HapaGirl
