Name Your Favorite Candy Bar
Since I'm on a weight control mission at the moment, my favorite candy bar right now is broccoli. But in the old days, like last week, I used to love a good Skor bar.

How about you, Loungers?

20. they are delicious. Smooth folded milk chocolate ....


Flakes were first developed in 1920 and was founded by an employee of Cadburys. When the excess from the moulds was drained off, it fell off in a stream and created folded chocolate with flaking properties.

They are so creamy smooth. In Edinburgh where I grew up, the ice cream vendors used to serve cones with a flake stuck into the soft ice cream. They called it a 99 (don't know why)

Fond memories from my childhood. I can get Flakes in Canada, and I can order them online but I can't find them in the stores here in the USA.

24. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way...
I didn't mean anything deliberate ( this IS the internet, after all... ) just the way we were talking about chocolate and shit.....well, food is a passion for me, period...I love to cook.

I love to mess around in the kitchen with any ingredient I find and sometimes I have found a winner of a recipe....other times, I have found big losers....

:hug:

I LOVE to cook too and baking is one of my favourite things to do. My husband doesn't / can't eat chocolate so I buy it for myself and eat it when he's not around.


You sure didn't offend me. My Mom comment was meant to be funny, and thanking you for the compliment :)

not to worry!!!!!

44. Did you ever have a Canadian kitkat?
they are the same, but better quality chocolate. Being in Michigan we go through Canada sometimes as a shortcut to New England, we always stop at a gas station and buy a few while we're there.

31. got a tip for you, Mr. Ected
don't deny yourself treats - instead of having a Skor bar, eat half of one - you can eat anything you want, just not all that you want - watch those calories but don't deny, that always leads to trouble, and EXERCISE - every day

my favorite candy treat is a Butterfinger *mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*

to be safe, track your calories - try something like the free online site www.fitday.com - if you indulge in say, a candy bar, you cannot indulge again that day, ya know? :D

It's just enough to satisfy and not so much that you feel guilty about it.

65. Since no one has mentioned it yet.... Take 5
Take pretzels, caramel, peanuts and peanut butter, cover it all with HERSHEY'S chocolate and what do you get? HERSHEY'S TAKE 5 candy bar.

HERSHEY'S TAKE 5 candy bar provides a unique taste experience by combining five favorite ingredients in one candy bar. The result is a delicious salty sweet snack unlike anything else.
