I was talking to my girlfriend about that.

Where do you think I can get a box of chocolate bars to bring back with me - Costco, maybe?

I'm thinking Coffee Crisp, Crispy Crunch, etc.


What we think as Canadian chocolate bars are mostly the product of Cadbury, which is a British candy maker. Cadbury doesn't have a big market in the USA. Lowney is another one that doesn't seem widely available in the USA either. Nestle Canada also has a few offerings unique to Canada.

CostCo, sure, but there isn't one anywhere near my hometown, so I'd have to resort to the regular supermarket and tell them to sell me a box. I've done it before with Coffee Crisp, Crispy Crunch, Smarties, and salt-and-vinegar chips.

I forgot about that one! Mmmmmm! I was manic for those in grade 9. Ever notice once you have the money to indulge in all the things you craved when you were a boy and had little disposable income, you actually don't indulge in because if you did you'd become monster fat and no woman would date you?

I'd rather have a Milles Fuilles (sp?) than either. Oh... and Drake's cakes.

Obviously, the Chocopies were 'inspired' by the Wagon Wheel and the Moon Pie.

There's also the Mallomar, the Whippet, the Tea Cake, the Mallowpuff, and the Smore.

Bringing Moon Pies to Korea is like bringing a prostitute to Vegas.
