645402 Mon Aug 17 15:40:12 -0700 2009 111 27 General Chowhounding Topics 0 4954085 Lately I've been craving Cadbury Flake and Bournville bars, as well as Yorkie Bars! I'm going to have to plan a trip to the "Burbs to buy some. What bars do you crave or miss? Mon Aug 17 15:40:12 -0700 2009 259263 bigfellow 1 4954182 Twix. Just thinking about them makes me want one really REALLY badly. (My daughter came home with one the other day & shared, before that, I wouldn't have been able to answer this question.) Mon Aug 17 16:21:29 -0700 2009 4954085 20991 shanagain 1 4954280 Mounds. And sadly, because they are available in little candy dishes as my afternoon need for a little bit of chocolate kicks in at work, "the great American chocolate bar" (Hershey's) really does the trick. I also just cut out a coupon to try new Dove bars with creamy peanut butter filling...mmmmmmmmmmm! Anyone tried these yet? Mon Aug 17 17:01:19 -0700 2009 4954085 249664 kattyeyes 2 4958919 Mounds. Always Mounds. I'd love a Waleeco bar too (same idea) but they aren't made any more. 8<( Wed Aug 19 08:30:19 -0700 2009 4954280 12829 Bob W 3 4974654 I love mounds and almond joy bars too. I wish Peter Pan would create a hybrid of the two.... coconut, dark chocolate, and almond. Wouldn't that be so good? But I also love heath bars. Mon Aug 24 20:13:38 -0700 2009 4958919 264146 kubasd 4 4981339 As a college freshmen I worked at seven-eleven and was therefore privy to all the promotional and "special edition! limited time only!" candies and snacks. My all time favorite was the all to short time we had dark chocolate almond joy. I must've eaten an entire display box by myself. This was a most guilty pleasure for me due to my life long, overt hatred of anything containing flaked coconut. As a little kid I'd decided they must really be cuticles and someone (my sister) was trying to fool me. Wed Aug 26 19:49:16 -0700 2009 4974654 218863 jdoyle2254 5 4987739 I'm not a huge fan of coconut myself, but for some reason Almond Joys always slip through...I'm surprised the dark chocolate didn't make it. Fri Aug 28 21:30:25 -0700 2009 4981339 212582 schrutefarms 1 4954294 the only one i recall craving in recent years is Goldenberg's Peanut Chews because they were mentioned in a thread a few months ago. now that i think about it, even if i did crave one, i can't imagine wanting more than a bite or two - the thought of any more than that sort of sickens me when i think about how cloyingly sweet most of them were. having said that: - Toblerone - 100 Grand - Baby Ruth - Whatchamacallit - Milky Way Dark - Kit Kat - Skor or Heath - 3 Musketeers - Coffee Crisp of course now i'm nauseated from thinking about all of them at once! Mon Aug 17 17:10:18 -0700 2009 4954085 103920 goodhealthgourmet 2 4954691 Oh, GHG, I remember our Goldenberg's discussion, and it's sad that even now that I'm on the wrong coast, they just don't exist. One of the last things I did (literally) before moving from NY was buy two bags of the individually wrapped ones (original dark choc., of course), one for the SO and me on the cross-country drive, one to keep "for later." Once in a blue moon, I give in to Reese's cups or a Kit Kat, twice in a blue moon, I'll have a York Pppermint Patty or peanut or almond M&M's. This adds up to a couple times a year, as opposed to dark choc. bars which may or may not have other flavors (usually not). When confronted with a vending machine and a need for sustenance, Baby Ruth was always my choice, with its high peanuts-to milk choc. and sweet goop ratio. Mon Aug 17 19:58:36 -0700 2009 4954294 10074 Caitlin McGrath 3 4954721 one day soon after that discussion i spotted the current Just Born version at the checkout stand at Shop Rite, so of course i had to buy a pack out of curiosity. one look at the ingredient list told me i was in for disappointment, but i tried a bite anyway. awful waxy flavor & consistency. ick. so sad :( Mon Aug 17 20:18:07 -0700 2009 4954691 103920 goodhealthgourmet 4 4954808 Yep, actually saw them in a video rental place in CA after they went into production, but had already heard, harrumph, ain't the same, so I didn't bother trying. At least if Godenberg's were still around, I could mail order if the hankering got strong enough - but the CA move, Goldenberg's fold were about simultaneous, so they're impossible nostalgia now.

(I was not allowed to eat chocolate) It was our thing...thanks for reminding me of the great memory! Mon Aug 17 18:35:55 -0700 2009 4954434 237148 bermudagourmetgoddess 2 4954903 Aww yeah, Zero Bars! I haven't seen those in ages, but I loved 'em as a kid. Mon Aug 17 22:13:50 -0700 2009 4954434 64215 cimui 2 4955004 I have always loved Zero bars. They are a little hard to find, but worth the search. The "Y" I went to as a kid had them frozen in the the snack bar. That's what got me hooked on them! Mon Aug 17 23:51:57 -0700 2009 4954434 111267 meatn3 3 4955098 Zero bars frozen is the way I like to eat them as a kid too. Tue Aug 18 03:45:03 -0700 2009 4955004 11222 Infomaniac 3 4968683 I used to love Zero bars, and I don't know if this is just because my tastes have gone more to the savory side since i've been a kid, but to me it tasted like the changed the recipe. Same with Icy Squares and Icy Cups, which are similar tastes. Sat Aug 22 15:59:40 -0700 2009 4955004 153184 im_nomad 4 4970149 Are those the same chocolates called "Ice Cubes"? Man, I LOVED those as a kid. Are they still available? Sun Aug 23 11:12:19 -0700 2009 4968683 131171 nofunlatte 5 4970198 these are icy squares: http://dessartsweets.com/catalog/images/bulk-w-icy%20squares.jpg made by Moritz ? These are the icy cups: http://www.sweetieworld.co.uk/images/sweets/20070712125120075_m/Chocolate_Sweets/Icy_Cups.jpg Don't know who makes them, I always thought it was the same place. I've seen them in stores around here. As i've never had an "ice cube", i don't know if they're the same sorry. Sun Aug 23 11:37:22 -0700 2009 4970149 153184 im_nomad 6 4970207 The "icy squares" (the ones in the red and gold package) appear to be the same as "ice cubes"--see my post below). Perhaps they are the same product made by Mortiz and marketed under 2 different names. Appearance very similar. I've only had ice cubes, and have never seen "icy squares." Sun Aug 23 11:40:39 -0700 2009 4970198 255446 Gigi007 6 4970871 I think the Icy Squares are the same as the Ice Cubes--and Moritz is the company that makes them. I may have to order these! Sun Aug 23 16:50:39 -0700 2009 4970198 131171 nofunlatte 5 4999933 Mmmmmmmm Ice cubes! Man I love them. We still have them around here in northeastern pa. I remember when they cost a nickel and now I think they are a quarter. Well worth it tho. Now I have to get me some..:) Wed Sep 02 13:50:45 -0700 2009 4970149 180068 Smileelisa 1 4954549 Clark Bar!! Sort of like a butterfinger, but BETTERER! Can't find 'em here in Oakland; don't even know if they exist back East either.

Probably my favorite candy in general second only to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups...If they made the PB Twix with dark chocolate, game over.

I used to love Mounds bars, but now they just seem sticky. 3 Musketeers? Where's the flavor? Milky Ways are flat. The only things that appeal are chocolate bars with something added - KitKat or Twix with their cookies, Heath or Skor with their toffee, etc. I'd like to think that my palate has become more sophisticated, but that strikes me as improbable. Are the "fun size" made differently, or have candy bars in general taken a turn for the worse? Mon Aug 17 21:56:34 -0700 2009 4954085 58743 alanbarnes 1 4954910 I haven't had a Cadbury Crunchie bar in a while. I remember really liking those when I lived in London. Remind me to stock up on my next visit. Mon Aug 17 22:18:51 -0700 2009 4954085 64215 cimui 1 4954964 Chunky, "What a chunk of chocolate." Almond Joy, when we go to the movies.

Tue Aug 18 07:46:30 -0700 2009 4954085 259263 bigfellow 1 4955870 Cadbury's Crunchie, a real Coffee Crisp bar (Rowntree's, in the foil wrap with a sort of tissue-y overwrap, seemed to be more adult than usual choc bars, a bit on the cigarette packaging side - the Nestlé version doesn't have the real taste or shape either), Macintosh Toffee. All favourites of my Canadian girlhood. Tue Aug 18 09:14:42 -0700 2009 4954085 13709 buttertart 2 4955998 summer on the beach = frozen snickers or milky way...or one of each! Tue Aug 18 09:53:08 -0700 2009 4955870 12695 harrison 1 4955997 The small size Snickers frozen. When we lived in SF, we had trick or treaters but didn't want to deal with the older kids - who could be real jerks at times. So after the little kids had come by early, we'd freeze the remainder of the candy, turn out the lights on the main level of the house and stay in our bedroom on the back of the house. TMI. But the point is that we always had months worth of frozen Snickers which made a nice dessert for us. Tue Aug 18 09:53:06 -0700 2009 4954085 131001 c oliver 1 4956164 I really don't miss any, since if I am craving one, I have no problem buying and consuming right away. Although Kit Kat came out with a new flavor -coffee- a few years ago, which didn't last long, unfortunitely. I thought it was great. Tue Aug 18 10:43:10 -0700 2009 4954085 212582 schrutefarms 2 4960953 Take it from someone who stored M&Ms too close to the espresso and found a new taste sensation--mocha M&Ms...try storing a Kit Kat or two next to/on top of either your coffee or espresso. Betcha by golly wow, that'll do the trick. ;) Wed Aug 19 19:14:43 -0700 2009 4956164 249664 kattyeyes 1 4956285 I still crave snickers, I had one last winter, which is kinda when I'm in the mood for them. Classic childhood memories every time I eat one. I became a big fan of take two bars, but am now a bigger fan of a rolo topped with a pecan on a square pretzel, cooked in the oven until the rolo just starts to melt, then cooled (or frozen) Tue Aug 18 11:24:09 -0700 2009 4954085 142652 madgreek 2 4960956 Ever try the wrapped cookies with Rolos in the center? You'd love 'em. If you don't know of them and are interested, LMK and I'll post the recipe for you on home cooking...just not tonight. ;) Wed Aug 19 19:16:27 -0700 2009 4956285 249664 kattyeyes 1 4958873 U-NO bars are a soft and unctuous as a candy bar can get. Always loved them, and best when frozen. Heath bars are at the opposite end in texture, and I love those too. In between, there's Almond Joy, oh boy! Oh boy! Wed Aug 19 08:18:55 -0700 2009 4954085 13619 Sharuf 1 4958926 The old original Mars bar, milk chocolate, they were flatter and wider and had 4 or 5 whole almonds on top, light green wrapper, they haven't been around since the '60's. Wed Aug 19 08:31:35 -0700 2009 4954085 140140 mrbigshotno.1 1 4959167 Flyer Bars. Haven't seen them in years. Wed Aug 19 09:41:01 -0700 2009 4954085 13202 emilief 1 4959608 I hardley ever crave sweets, but once in a while I see a Mr. Goodbar sitting there - and I just have to buy it! I am really surprised by it's un-popularity - it's so chock full of peanutty goodness! I also AWLAYS buy Peanut Chews if I see them - they are my all-time favorite - and these days they are so rare to find. Wed Aug 19 11:45:37 -0700 2009 4954085 174753 NellyNel 2 4960966 That's so funny--I will always pass up Mr. Goodbar in the standard assortment of Hershey's miniatures. The bag goes like this for me in order of pref: 1. THE Hershey bar 2. Krackel As to Special Dark and Mr. Goodbar, they can just sit in the dish with their other mini-friends as far as I'm concerned. HA HA HA! Or, alternatively, I'll just save Mr. G. for you, OK? :) Wed Aug 19 19:19:36 -0700 2009 4959608 249664 kattyeyes 3 4961895 Katty We have totally had this conversation before!!! http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/604490 Thu Aug 20 07:12:52 -0700 2009 4960966 174753 NellyNel 4 4963960 That is too funny! I will try to remember you as my friend who's "looking for Mr. Goodbar"...so to speak! HA HA HA! I remember our Ray Liotta conversation about Easter pie even better. ;) Thu Aug 20 16:54:50 -0700 2009 4961895 249664 kattyeyes 1 4959958 Every now & then I get a craving that can only be relieved by MORE COWBELL....(Sorry, wrong website!)....by either a Lion bar or a Double Decker. Discovered them in London about 10 years ago. Fortunately World Market gets them in from time to time. Wed Aug 19 13:18:25 -0700 2009 4954085 10258 Fydeaux 1 4960021 Flake Bars!!!

I loved them when I lived in England for a summer and whenever I see them at a specialty store here, I have to buy them! Wed Aug 19 13:54:21 -0700 2009 4954085 429926 CreativeFoodie42 2 4960115 I used to buy Penguin Bars too when I lived in the UK, but i never thought they were special - Until NOW - when I can't get 'em anymore!! Yeah they were good! Wed Aug 19 14:01:55 -0700 2009 4960086 174753 NellyNel 3 4961728 There is a specialty shop that sells them for outrageous prices but I can't resist whenever I'm in there!

Thu Aug 20 13:26:53 -0700 2009 4960115 212582 schrutefarms 4 4963724 Aero is another favorite but sadly I'm in Boston :-( Thu Aug 20 15:31:08 -0700 2009 4963314 429926 CreativeFoodie42 1 4963522 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

My curiosity got the better of me, so I googled "ice cubes" and found the little chocolate squares (that are made in Germany!) available for sale in tubs of 120 pieces. Some places actually ship them with an ice pack b/c they are "delicate". I wonder if they still taste the same as they did when I was a kid... Sat Aug 22 16:10:52 -0700 2009 4968579 255446 Gigi007 3 4968823 OOooohhh, they were INCREDIBLE! I seem to remember them costing somewhere between 2-5 cents originally, and then later on, they were a quarter. I hope they haven't tinkered with the original recipe! Sat Aug 22 17:23:17 -0700 2009 4968702 1099762 CookieWeasel 3 4969384 When I was a kid we'd get the Ice Cubes at a market at Alpine Village in Torrance. They were one of my very favorites... sooo smooth. I can still remember the way the chocolate started to melt as soon as you took a bite, or better yet, just let it sit on your tongue and slowly melt. ;o) I've run across them from time to time in the past few years too in other places. I've tried them and they seemed to be the same smooth, melty consistency and I'm pretty sure the taste is still the same, Sun Aug 23 00:02:02 -0700 2009 4968702 233553 schmoopy 4 4970004 Thanks, Schmoopy. I always loved ice cubes when I was a kid. Good to know that those creamy chocolate squares are still the same. It seems that a lot of places sell them on the internet, but the issue is getting them to their destination before they melt. One place even sends them with an ice pack in the package! Sun Aug 23 10:13:30 -0700 2009 4969384 255446 Gigi007 2 4970157 Wow, I just replied upthread about Ice Cubes. I loved these! My parents always got a few from the local German deli when it was still in business Sun Aug 23 11:14:39 -0700 2009 4968579 131171 nofunlatte 3 4970195 I loved them too, The bad thing is that I found a ton of places on the web to order them from (apparently they come in big tubs of 120 pieces--that's why it's b-a-a-d!)! I am going to hold off until the weather is a bit cooler though as I don't want to be disappointed by melted "ice cubes". Wish someone sold them locally. They used to have them at a German deli here in DC. I'm going to double check before I order them. Sun Aug 23 11:36:11 -0700 2009 4970157 255446 Gigi007 4 4970872 120 pieces? Oh, Gigi007, that is mighty dangerous. I might be ordering them when the weather cools off. What a great gift idea for my siblings, who have fond memories of these. So smooth! Sun Aug 23 16:51:49 -0700 2009 4970195 131171 nofunlatte 5 4971016 I know. I may keep looking to see if they're available in a smaller quantity. I don't trust myself! And ye, it would make a great gift. Sun Aug 23 17:54:55 -0700 2009 4970872 255446 Gigi007 1 4968693 mmm I love Flake bars. I'm not much of a sweets eater, but I will say that any peanut butter cup is not safe in my vicinity. I also love, and have from time to time, Jacob's Club biscuits / bars...the orange variety. And for some reason, when I read this thread, I started thinking about Big Turk. Sat Aug 22 16:04:10 -0700 2009 4954085 153184 im_nomad 1 4968724 Does anybody remember Seven-Up bars? These were chocolate bars with seven different fillings, including cherry cream. They stopped making them decades ago, but I still crave them. How about Ice Cubes, those little squares of cool, creamy milk chocolate in gold foil wrappers with red & white paper bands. They used to sell those from a glass jar on the counter at 7-11... haven't seen them in YEARS! And another one-- Pot of Gold, a round chocolate patty with a coconutty marshmallowy center. I never see those anymore, either. The ones I crave nowadays are Rochers and Lindt truffles. OMG, could eat those by the truckload! Sat Aug 22 16:27:55 -0700 2009 4954085 1099762 CookieWeasel 2 4968744 Re: ice cube chocolate squares, see my post above. They are available from various sources on the net! Just google "ice cubes" chocolate.... Sat Aug 22 16:42:41 -0700 2009 4968724 255446 Gigi007 2 4968844 re: seven up bars, I remember a bar that was similar to the Cadbury's Rum and Butter bars, but was called treasure chest, or treasure island or something, each square had a different flavor. Sat Aug 22 17:35:08 -0700 2009 4968724 153184 im_nomad 2 4974513 Wow, that's a flashback CookieWeasel. I can barely remember Seven-Up Bars, but I do remember them. There are a few stores here and there that specialize in the old "penny candy". I was in one last summer in Port Aransas, TX and noticed they had all my old faves including Ice Cubes. I've seen them in other similar places where at least you don't have to buy 120 at a time (although that wouldn't be all bad). Mon Aug 24 19:17:11 -0700 2009 4968724 253542 cycloneillini 3 4981298 Penny candy could be its own thread (perhaps it has been)...but sadly, not so much in the chocolate category! I really do remember the penny candy aisle, and walking down the hill from our house to Lineberry's (which is now no longer a mom & pop shop) to buy it. Fun! Wed Aug 26 19:29:09 -0700 2009 4974513 249664 kattyeyes 4 4982075 Oh yeah! My mom used to give me a dime after lunch to buy candy - it went a long way at the variety store with 2 for a penny black balls (licorice hard candies with an anise seed in the centers), ditto sour cherries (like a larger round jellybean), black licorice whips, plugs (about the size of 1/2 a 3x5 file card, 1/8 in thick, ridged), cigars, pipes (get rid of the red candy nonpareils representing the flame first) (the licorice in these last having an unusual sort of dense breadish trexture), red lcorice shoestrings and twizzlers, (all these last maybe 2 for 5 cents), sherbet fountains (fruit-flavored acidic powder in shiny paper bags with old-fashioned printing on them, with a thin hollow licorice stick to suck it up through, Pixy Stix, Lik-m-aids (both also sourish powders in fruit flavors, red anything being the best, followed by grape), flying saucers (rice-paper flying saucer shapes filled with multicolored nonpareils) etc. I would love to have the sherbet fountains again, haven't seen them for ages. And is it any wonder I love ouzo and pastis in these latter days of the law? Thu Aug 27 06:29:28 -0700 2009 4981298 13709 buttertart 5 4987141 buttertart, you just named some of the best right there, although I also remember what we called "glass" candy, and the little pastel dots on the paper, whatever they were called. Also the koo-koo strips of candy, and the little chocolate discs covered in multicolored nonpareils..we used to call them "jewel drops" for some reason. Growing up, we had actual candy stores in my home town, little mom and pop places filled with jars and jars of stuff. Find a place that has British confectionary (the Pete's nearby me sells this stuff), and you'll find your sherbet dips. I've also seen the flying saucers in the stores all over the place. Fri Aug 28 16:24:59 -0700 2009 4982075 153184 im_nomad 6 4990022 The candy dots on paper had been a favorite of my mother's girlhood - I was not as fond of them (given the paper that comes off with them when you peel them off). Was the glass candy ribbon-shaped? That was a Christmastime staple at our house. Nonpareils were a more upscale item, available in candy shops like the one at Eaton's department store (they also had candied ginger in chocolate, something I hated as a kid but love now). Another type I did love were jujubes - especially the red and (here we go again) the black ones. Sun Aug 30 07:31:25 -0700 2009 4987141 13709 buttertart 5 4987741 Funny- I, as well, am and always have been a huge licorce fan--and I drink Jagermeister. Fri Aug 28 21:32:51 -0700 2009 4982075 212582 schrutefarms 6 4990024 I've never tried it, is it licorice-flavored? Sun Aug 30 07:31:59 -0700 2009 4987741 13709 buttertart 7 4994498 Jager tastes like licorice-flavored cough syrup. have you ever had Sambuca? similar, but harsher IIRC (it's been many years, for good reason!) Mon Aug 31 18:46:03 -0700 2009 4990024 103920 goodhealthgourmet 8 4999967 Have you also suffered the effects of WAY too much Sambuca? UGHHHH I hurt just thinking of it! Wed Sep 02 14:01:24 -0700 2009 4994498 174753 NellyNel 9 5000430 the last time i had Sambuca was in 1996. i was out with some girlfriends in Buckhead/Atlanta, and we ended up partying with some of the Atlanta Braves. back in those days, when Javy Lopez and Dave Justice bought you shots, you did 'em, no matter how wasted you already were! ugh. Wed Sep 02 17:08:11 -0700 2009 4999967 103920 goodhealthgourmet 1 4968732 Charleston Chew...preferably vanilla and preferably frozen. YUM!! Sat Aug 22 16:32:43 -0700 2009 4954085 195118 mom22tots 2 4968745 Yes! Sat Aug 22 16:43:05 -0700 2009 4968732 255446 Gigi007 2 4968792 sometimes vanilla, sometimes chocolate...even strawberry on occasion. but NEVER blueberry (ick!). and more often than not, frozen. Sat Aug 22 17:07:56 -0700 2009 4968732 103920 goodhealthgourmet 3 4969585 Yes!! Never tried the blueberry...but it does not appeal. Sun Aug 23 06:26:14 -0700 2009 4968792 195118 mom22tots 4 4970106 I never even knew about the blueberry? Sun Aug 23 10:52:16 -0700 2009 4969585 241199 Ciao Italia Foodie 5 4970964 total error on my part, i had berry on the brain. i meant Banana, which was introduced sometime in the 80's but discontinued. as much as i love the combination of chocolate & banana, a banana CC was just *wrong* somehow. Sun Aug 23 17:34:26 -0700 2009 4970106 103920 goodhealthgourmet 2 4968846 used to get one of those every time we went to the movies as kids. and yep, they'd go into the freezer at some point ! Sat Aug 22 17:35:43 -0700 2009 4968732 153184 im_nomad 1 4969590 And does anyone remember Sky Bars? Haven't had one in years, but they were bars with different sections enclosed in chocolate...marshmallow, peanut butter, caramel and I think fudge. Used to trade pieces with my sister!! Sun Aug 23 06:27:45 -0700 2009 4954085 195118 mom22tots 2 4984308 That sounds a lot like the Seven-Up bars that I remember!

Frozen is da bomb. Sun Aug 23 19:40:38 -0700 2009 4954085 36312 HillJ 2 4971332 Is that what Take 5 is? If you like that combo, melt some dark Callebaut (or whatever your favorite chocolate is) and dip some Pretzel Thins. Wow-wowee! I already posted this on the Pretzel Crisps thread, but since you brought it up... ;) Sun Aug 23 19:49:06 -0700 2009 4971309 249664 kattyeyes 3 4971439 There's some caramel in their too but it's delicious. I've tried making homemade Take 5's for the family but it's just not the same. Althou I have made a chocolate caramel cheese cake with a crushed pretzel crust and that was sinfully good. Sun Aug 23 20:29:28 -0700 2009 4971332 36312 HillJ 4 4973824 Having never had a Take 5, I can't say one way or the other, but try making them with Pretzel Thins. I totally love my chocolate dipped ones and no reason you couldn't add caramel. Yummy! I am filing the crushed pretzel crust idea for a later date. Thank you! :) Mon Aug 24 14:45:08 -0700 2009 4971439 249664 kattyeyes 5 4973840 kattye-my daughter is going to give your suggestion a try on Saturday. We'll let you know. Mon Aug 24 14:48:10 -0700 2009 4973824 36312 HillJ 5 4990283 Last night my daughter and a few friends made a Take 5 fondue. Using your idea with Pretzel thins, a pot of dark chocolate and a pot of caramel..then they dipped into crushed peanuts. NOT BAD :) Sun Aug 30 09:50:01 -0700 2009 4973824 36312 HillJ 6 4994488 What fun! :) Mon Aug 31 18:43:13 -0700 2009 4990283 249664 kattyeyes 1 4973922 Ms Keg, "Every once in a while, I get a hankering for a Heath Bar".

Wed Aug 26 14:29:25 -0700 2009 4954085 116495 Avalondaughter 1 4980690 I used to take Flake bars and use them to stir my hot chocolate in the winter. They would just melt into the drink....decadence in a cold canadian winter.

Just like a peppermint pattie but wintergreen in the center. They were fabulous. Fri Aug 28 18:48:01 -0700 2009 4954085 290845 KristieB 1 4997449 I confess! This thread made me obsessed with Charleston Chews. I could only find the movie boxes of the mini-Charleston Chews (CVS and Giant have them). They're good, but not the same as the regular size ones! Anyone know a place in DC where you can get the regular size ones (Vanilla!)? Tue Sep 01 17:38:49 -0700 2009 4954085 255446 Gigi007 2 4997503 Try posting this query on your local board.

Tue Sep 01 18:18:38 -0700 2009 4997503 255446 Gigi007 2 5000437 Gigi, do you have Pathmark in DC? i just saw a big display of the full-size ones at a store here in Jersey the other day...of course it immediately made me think of this thread :) Wed Sep 02 17:10:05 -0700 2009 4997449 103920 goodhealthgourmet 3 5000849 Unfortunately we don't have Pathmark here, goodhealthgourmet, but maybe I can twist the arm of a friend in Long Island do get me some now that you mention it. Another confession, I bought a LARGE box of Milk Duds and and another one of MALTED MILK BALLS. So much for dieting... Wed Sep 02 20:01:16 -0700 2009 5000437 255446 Gigi007 4 5001730 ok, then do you have A&P? they're now owned by the same company so it could be worth a look...
