Candy Blog Talk

I get to try a lot of imported candy and have a few favorites. Which would be the one you’d most like to try?

I want to try all (if that’s even possible??) the different European chocolates.  I have heard about Swiss and Belgian chocolate but have never actually tried them.

I like drinking coffee with my chocolate, so anything which combines the two flavors will get my interest.

I would have loved to have tried the yuzu Hi Chews, but I think they don’t make ‘em anymore.

I really want to try a Curly Wurly. My dad always tells me about how much he loved the “old” marathon bars from when he was a kid.

I would love to try something from Asia like Pocky or the Japanese kitkat versions like green tea.

I’ve actually tried quite a few of those. My favorite imported candy is Jelly Babies; my English husband introduced me to them a few years ago and I’m hooked! I’m totally ashamed at how much I’ve paid to have those shipped to us in California.

I’ve been dying to get my hands on the Starbar.

If I had a favorite, it’d be the Japanese Kitkats.

i can’t stop eating ting ting jahe ginger taffy!  i’m trying to convert everyone i know.  also, Kasugai makes a litchi gummy that’s out-of-this-world good.  a bag of those doesn’t last very long in our house.

I’m obsessed with Fizzers from England (hence, my screen name).  They’re unavailable in the United States, so I’ll be making my family bring some home from their trip to the UK in August.

We have something in Germany that is called “Pocket coffee” It is chocolate filled with coffee so I am sure u would like it

Without a doubt, the Japanese KitKat flavors.

Actually, everything on that list we can get up here in Ontario at most stores, but the Japanese KitKat are nowhere to be found and I’ve obsessively searched every Asian market in my area. I’d give my only begotten son for them…if I were ever to beget a child, that is lol

What part of Ontario do you live in? You can get japanese kitkats at Pacific Mall in Scarborough. I tried the chestnut and cherry white chocolate ones there, and I’ve seen the green tea and other flavors. They have a fair amount of imported stuff there.

I’d really like to try the Cadbury Pep

I keep hearing about how great the Pocky is. I would love to try some of the flavors available. Strawberry, for one.

Being from Canada, I do miss the Coffee Crisp and Aero Bars. They’re so pricey when I can find them at all in the US.

I want to try the kinder bueno—It sounds amazing!
I could prob. find it at this little “Gourmet Heaven” grocery store nearby. I know they have other imported candies, like Pocky.

...They also carry the Lindt 99% bar. *drool* So yum.
