They are all over the place and a few posts have already mentioned the cost. The Co-Op has three different sizes.
I stopped buying them years ago as there was no coffee cream.

I wonder if Roses will ever make it.

Couldn't agree more. Just seen the comment and thought i would mention I had come across them. Can't think of any of the selection that would make me want to purchase. Just give me some good old Cadbury's or some nice Belgium Chocolate............ forget the chocolate just some nice Belgium beer !

Saw them on offer in Zellers the other day $13 for a tiny tin .. they would last about an hour on xmas morning and thats me alone never mind the kids and hubby .. Thank god i brought over some M&S chocolate biscuits (could possibly be crumbs as i squashed them into my suitcase) ..

Some thing i have noticed though .. i had such a sweet tooth in England, here nothing tastes sweet not even the heinz baked beans .. on a brighter note though at least the dentist wont be charging me an arm and a leg ..

One of the first things I noticed on the food front was how salty some processed foods are even the baked beans. I guess the same everywhere just a cheap preservative for the manufacturers.

Try beans in maple syrup. They will make your teeth hurt but your farts will smell nice.

You clearly haven't been to a Canadian dentist yet.

They are rank, aren't they? I won't buy the Nestlé ones but I'll probably pick up a tin of Sobey's knock-offs... no idea why, general compulsion to buy all kinds of crap at Xmas

Terry's Chocolate Oranges available in many stores and have been for years. Who eats 2.2 lbs of chocolate? UK Cadbury bars (don't know size) can be bought here.
