they're available online from jellybelly-uk.com - or you can let your friend know there's a searchable stockists' list here http://www.jellybelly-uk.com/stockists/

So who has been sending this lady Canadian candies?
I reckon a 40 foot container would last her a month

Although not Canadian but will be available in Canada by 2014 this should excite lovers of certain chocolate bars.

Some pretty disgusting candy came back from school this week in the form of Valentine gifts. Even the Candy Queen in the house turned her nose up at it

I love cinnamon but it's just horrible in candy.

Peanut Butter M&M's... Not available in the UK... Infact most Peanut Butter based sweets are not available in the UK.

Just to settle the debate on Jelly Belly Beans - Yes you can get them easily in the UK and have been able to for a long time

I seem to remember Asda sold Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I ate way too many and now find them so sickly

Selfridges at the Trafford Centre and Birmingham Bullring do a range of North American goodies (albeit pricey)

Ahh - yes - sorry you can get peanut butter cups and sometimes reeces peices... I meant all the other peanut butter things!

We have a shop in East Kilbride called american candy where you can get some of the sweets not normally available but the prices are comical...!

Like a can of Mountain Dew for £4?! (as I saw in Dundee)

Think I'm just going to run up to Walmart and see how much I can get for $20!

Also agree that peanut-buttery things are a good option!
