Those were briefly available when I was in college in the early 1990s, and they were really good - vaguely Oreo flavored. A convenience store down the stress has them once again, and they’re every bit as good as I remember them. Just saying. 🆒 ---

Like I don’t weigh enough already. Yeah, they were good. ---

Burpo, that’s what I thought when I saw them. I finally caved and bought some, and honestly don’t regret it at all. ---

That’s skinny-people talk. My go-to was [“Bounty”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounty_(chocolate_bar)) bar. They’re not distributed in the US any more, ☹ but occasionally they turn up at specialty stores. “Mounds” was OK, but dark chocolate, “Almond Joy” almonds clash with the coconut, even though milk chocolate. “Bounty” has coconut with milk chocolate and I think the coconut has more oil left in than the other two. And now I got a hankerin’. ---

I remember those, and that I binged on them for a few weeks when they were first available. What I also remember is that they weren’t available for very long, alas. (And, now that I’m diabetic, I really should avoid the reintroduced ones. 😃 ) ---

A convenience store down the stress has them once again, and they’re every bit as good as I remember them. I was in middle school when these came out and the student council or some group sold candy and chips (why did they allow this?) in the lunch room. A bag of Munchos, Sour Cream & Onion Lays, a single Cookies n Creme Twix, and a single Chocolate Fudge Twix was my lunch just about every day. All for the low, low price of $1. I think I actually liked the Chocolate Fudge ones better than the CnC. ---

Have you tried the malted milk balls from Cracker Barrel? They’re about the size of a human eyeball and the chocolate is about 1/4 inch thick all around. Sadly, you only get about a dozen per bag. Sucking the choco off the malted part is a RUSH. ---

Maybe someone from Down Under will jump in and tell us how the cherry/coconut/choco combo is. We can get the default Bounty and the dark Bounty. I want a cherry Bounty. I think I will be waiting for a while, or I need to just add a glaceed or dried cherry to a dark chocolate Bounty. That might work.
