the less I eat some Brit chocs and candies the more my taste buds seem to move on.
The chocolate orange (milk version) I find almost intolerably sweet now.
Similar for Thornton's toffee.

I've discovered that Shaw's Supermarkets have a shelf unit of British food in their foreign section. I just bought chocolate digestives and hobnobs, a treacle sponge pudding and proper custard powder as well as a bounty. They had a decent selection of teas and a few other bits and bobs; it seems to vary a bit each time I go in but the chocolate digestives seem to be a permanent fixture

Local Target has lots of different flavoured Terrys Chocolate Oranges this year. I saw a Mint flavoured one and was soooooo tempted but I resisted for now They also have the large tins of Cadburys Chocolate Biscuits as well

I got a mint one and after eights and a box of cadburys choccie bscuits, I wasnt paying $17.99 for the tin when the $7.99 box was the same size

I'll have to have a mooch in Target, not noticed anything in ours.

So, as a big big favour for me, would you try the mint one now so I know if it is worth getting. Would you mind.....

traceym

Ewwwwwwwwww, you know I dont really like choccie, tell you what I'll let him have it as a treat tonight and report back, he eats them in one sitting greedy pig, I bought a stash of orange ones back for christmas and he's eaten them all, thats why I went to get these! But I cannot let you all suffer not knowing so he can be the guinea pig!

Tell your man thank-you!

After Eight crossed with a Matchstick, he says yes! I tried a bit and I'd say very minty, more After Eight than Matchstick, World Market have After Eight and these I'd say which ever one is cheapest as they taste the same.

Thank you I may buy one closer to Christmas (if I get it now I'll be too tempted) I love minty chocolate flavour.

Gag...I like After Eights, orange creme chocs and coffee but don't like mint, orange or coffee flavoured chocolate, cake, cookies etc.

I fell asleep on the sofa, got up this morning and he'd eaten the whole orange (thats mint) in one go, how can anyone do that I'd be so sick!

fsm

Not with the mint but alas been there and done that

scrubbedexpat097

Sorry, I guess I'm to blame for that....

traceym

He'd have done it anyway, oh and DS says the Trader Joes ones are lovely. Maybe he's forgetting Uk tastes, but for $2.99 worth a try?

I've just received the most amazing birthday present from one of my sisters. I've told her off a little bit as it cost her £60 to mail
