We found Harry and David's in the Florida Mall - Yummy fruits covered in Chocolate :) Any one else tried them?

I also love Peanut Butter Reese's - Yum - they were giving them out at MNSSHP and got me addicted :)

So how about you?

:mad: I really don't like American chocolate at all, thats why I always buy some Cadbury's chocolate at the Tea Shoppe at Epcot when I need a choccy fix (even though it is unbelievably expensive).

Mine are Reece's Pieces and Simon's are Reece's peanut butter cups, the kingsize ones!!! DELICIOUS.

We always come back with a bag full and any friend making a trip to the States are forced to bring us some back. MUM and Dad, its your turn in November!!

i'm not a fan of chocolate covered fruit (yuk), but harry & david's has very nice licorice (both black and red)....
my sister likes their fruit flavored licorice (multi-colored)...

let's see....more candy....peanut M&Ms....
and if no snickers is available then i'll make do with a 3 musketeer bar....or maybe a baby ruth.....or.....twix is ok in a pinch....oh...and kit kat.....nice as well...

but still.....the ideal is reese's peanut butter cups and snickers, washed down with a slurpee.....

the funny thing is, i didn't eat any of that stuff on my most recent trip home.....i was a very good girl (i guess that's why i've lost 25 pounds so far)...

oh.....and tootsie rolls....yummy (and good for my dentist's wallet since they pull out my fillings..)

I also love Pretzels.

I don't like Hershey's :( YUCK!

I may not be keen on American chocolate, but no visit to Wal-Mart goes without us buying a couple of big bags of Lays Chips, they're even better than Walkers crisps IMHO.

My local Asda now sells a couple of Reese's peanut butter choccie snacks - cups is one; can't remember the other but know there was more than one. So far I've resisted as I'm trying to lose weight before my trip in October but I'm beginning to feel that it's a purchase that just has to be made!

I'm with you Mandy on this one - I actually hate American chocolate - and go out of my way to go the the Tea Shoope tog et something every time I visit Epcot - just to get a fix!!!;)
Sometimes I've bought the Swiss Milka chocolate (lilac wrapper).
I remember once a couple of years back trying a USA Cadbury's Creme Egg - it was absolutely vile!!! :(

amen to that!!! we always bring tons home. they used to sell em here but according to walkers demand was low so they stopped selling em

and btw reese's peanut products have been selling over here for years. first saw them back in 98ish. check some local newsagents or places like asda or morrisons etc.

I'm surprised at all of you who like Reece's cups. Most of my British friends find peanut butter disgusting.

FYI there is good American chocolate out there, although it's not as sweet as what I've had in the UK. I like Dove. Don't go near Hershey's. It's disgusting.

Tootsie Rolls. Brother-in-Law does frequent trips to the USA and brings me back a BOX at a time (along with fav. duty free perfume!)

Hershey Kisses - just the plain ones.

Oreo Cookies on a plate with a scoop (or three) of plain Vanilla Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

Salt Water Taffy. Great taste but look out for your fillings!!!

Nut covered toffee apples from the Candy Cauldron at Downtown Disney (ok, this is strictly ON site I know, but I just love them). Have to have at least one a week when I'm in Florida.

Salt Pretzels at the Belz Mall.

My youngest, Jack, loves Hershey Bars and insisted on having one every time we ate @ Bob Evans (they seel them at the counter where you pay your bill). I don`t eat much chocolate myself.
I know this is not a snack but one year I had Chocolate Coke in TGI`s sounds disgusting but it was loveeerly, never been able to get it since :mad:
