There was a stall this weekend at the Kapow! Comic Book Convention by Cybercandy. They had a load of stuff so I dropped about £7 on American candy.
Peanut Butter Cups - Thank you Grandpop for ruining these for me, as your home made ones are 110 times better. Still I ate them ;)
Pretzel M&M's had been recommended to me by a guy in the Leniel Yu queue. I ate the whole pack and still cannot figure out if I liked them. I think the candy coating is a bit much, I loved Flips which were just chocolate covered pretzels.
Twinkies - I admit to not having one of these since I was a kid, I preferred the hostess cup cake. However the Twinkie does not hold up to the memory of a twinkie (or they've changed the recipe).
Lastly one of my favorite treats when I go to see a movie, strawberry twizzlers. Not the pull and peel ones but the classic 8 strips of darn near strawberry flavored wax. I love them dearly and these held up to my tastebud memories!
All in all £7 well spent ;)
All sweets.Bad for the heart and hips!!!! depending if you are male or female. Are there any savoury recipes? like breakfast (eggs benedict) or dinner stuff?

I just bought some Peeps from Cybercandy for our Easter basket. :) And I got spice flavoured (as in like spice drops) jelly beans from Stateside Candy Co. Going to be a good Easter. :)
ReplyDeleteSweets make life easier to deal with and not all are that bad for you. Homemade things are much better than store bought for one thing.
ReplyDeleteSavory stuff will come, I just enjoy baking a hell of a lot more than cooking.
Yay for Peeps! I explained what they were to someone and basically burst their bubble on what they imagined Peeps to be!
Ok. I shall await your savoury stuff. But please, since you are from stateside get me the sauce recipe for eggs benedict, like "The Plaza" in New York used to do.
ReplyDeleteI have never been able to get the same anywhere else. Maybe you can rectify a several years long search
