janchor Posted July 30, 2009 #226 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Now you're just Trifling with us.We don't even have Mars Bars anymore, the #1 candy bar for many years...they are extinct as the Dodo bird in the US, but can be found in Europe. You can pick them up on your next trip to Canada--we still have them here---but I they are different from the US version. We have the English version of Mars Bars---YUM!!! Someone mentioned Cadbury Flake which borught back memories of my childhood in Scotland----an ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake bar sticking our of it!!! I can buy Flakes here but for some reason they always seem to be rather stale:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missblackjack1980 Posted July 30, 2009 #229 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Tim Tams are a delicacy here in Australia.... you put them in the freezer, then take one out of the packet, bite off the diagonal corners, then use the Tim Tam like a straw to suck up your coffee or hot chocolate. Yum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helpmesailaway Posted July 30, 2009 #237 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am on a Tim Tam hunt. No Tim Tams at Chelsea Market in NYC. Next - I am asking family to check the World Market in California.

helpmesailaway Posted July 30, 2009 #244 Share Posted July 30, 2009 See's is the best!! In CA there are See's Candy shops and it is so fresh. I frequently buy at the airport Kiosk to take home and it sells so quickly that those boxes are always great too. I must be stong and buy only one box! If you visit a See's store, they always give you a sample of any one you select. Be still my heart:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
