An old friend recounted a story of his youth, where every time he visited his grannies house she would present him a bag of his favorite nuts,hazelnuts. All white and in a little plastic bag tied at the top for him. These he would enjoy slowly eating each nut as if it were the last..
It wasnt till years latter, and umpteen bags of nuts,that he found out where granny got the nuts from.. She used to buy chocolate coverd nuts,and would let the chocolate melt off in her toothless mouth,leaving perfectly white hazel nuts for her grandson to treassure

I was doing some part-time work in The Bay in Market Mall just before last Christmas.... I think I might have spent more than I earned on Cadburys chocolate

Oh and I bought 4 chocolate oranges (the original milk ones natch) for the kids... Found them in Wallmart

Now thats a class act, I could only hope to reach those heights of screwing with my children/grand children's minds.

You can get all kinds of liqueur-filled chocolates, as well as Mon Cherri. They usually sell them in pharmacies like Shopper's Drug Mart or London Drugs.

Ok I confess, I returned to the UK on holiday and one evening ( when alone) I ate 5 cadburys flakes. Felt slightly sick but oh so happy

We did buy one in Shoppers Drug Mart over the weekend and upon closer examination (and consumption) it appeared to be imported from UK. Which leads me to speculate that a 'North American' chocolate orange doesn't exist and that they all come from the UK.[/QUOTE]

I bought one in IGA on Sunday. Imported and not as nice as I remember.

Now, if you were to give me some Lindt 70% cocoa with chili.........
