And a big salute to the new candy-cane Hershey Kisses this year! 🙂

The local post office has been setting out plates of assorted Hershey’s Kisses as a promotion for their Valentine’s Day stamp, so I’ve gotten to sample some I’ve never had before, like the white chocolate-strawberry, and the cherry-filled.

In my month in the States I LIVED on Peanut Butter Cups.

They are my favourite thing EVER. Alas they’re fairly expensive here in Aus but they are so good. I got to go trick or treating in Florida with a friend’s children and they let me keep all the PB Cups. Yay!

I love the new dark chocolate raisinettes. And happily, the bags they stock in the vending machine at work are less calories than the peanut M&Ms that used to be my “I need my chocolate NOW!” treat.

I admit to being a sucker for this “variations on a classic candy bar” ploy. In the same trip, I picked up, among other essential provisions, a package of dark chocolate M&Ms, a white chocolate Kit-Kat, and a Payday with peanut butter in it (haven’t tried that yet).  
[/QUOTE]

Me too, as long as white chocolate isn’t involved. I’ve tried the mint KitKats (genius), the dark chocolate KitKats (genius) and the dark chocolate mint KitKats that appeared this past Christmas (genius tripled). I’ve tried the Take 5 with chocolate cookie instead of pretzel. I’ve tried almost all the Reese’s variations except the one with caramel added to a standard cup (sounded icky), even the inside-out Reese’s cups with a chocolate cream filling and peanut-butter coating (that was icky). Just this past Sunday I went out for a newspaper and came back with a newspaper and a triple chocolate Twix bar (chocolate cookie and chocolate caramel instead of the standard cookie and caramel). Is there no end to this fiendish ingenuity?
