Spike Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 QUOTE (xanadu66 @ Jan 17 2005, 02:50 PM)SMARTIES *Dont forget the little tune that goes with them* "When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last?..Do you suck them very slowly?.. Or crunch them very fast?" And a question...Do they have Smarties everywhere? or is it just a Canadain thing? I don't think it's just a Canadian thing, but it's certainly not a USA thing. My husband is a big fan of them, but his family used to get them either from Lebanon or Japan (not sure which). I've never seen them in the US - except for specialty/import stores. They probably don't want to complete against M&Ms!! Some other great chocolates that we poor Yankees don't have easy access to: - Cadbury Flakes - Nestle Aero Bars YUM!! I think I'll have to take a (long) road trip to CA to get some!!

There is ALMOST nothing better than strawberries dipped in chocolate. Dark chocolate ganache and a big bowl of strawberries...

Sodoff Baldrick Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 http://www.peterbrooke.com/ One thing I miss about Jacksonville, FL: Peterbrooke Chocolatier, a local biz. Their chocolate covered popcorn is their specialty. Still makes the best chocolate truffle ice cream I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Man Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I thnik I may have posted this already, but I'm too lazy to go look. Chocolate is essential to any good nutritious diet.

Spike Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 TRUFFLES There's a chocolate shop in Bar Harbor, ME, (Ben and Bill's) that sells the BIGGEST truffles I've ever seen! They're larger than a golf ball (almost 3x the normal truffle size). Every time we go to Acadia National Park, my hubby lets me get 6 or 12 of them to bring home. We vacuum seal them to keep them longer. It's the ultimate chocolate rush to eat an entire one by yourself. I also make my own truffles every year at Xmas. As my hubby says, "How do you make chocolate more fattening? Add Heavy Cream!" I make 4-8 different flavors, depending on how much time I have. Making the ganache is simple enough, but then rolling and coving or dipping the truffles gets quite time consuming. But they are SOOOO Good!!
