Well, went by Sweets from Heaven and I didn't buy a pack almond M&Ms. Instead I got a Whatchamacallit and some Reese's Pieces. Was craving something peanut butter flavoured, I guess

I am not overly keen on the peanut butter with chocolate products.


It says on the hershey website that they are bringing out reeses pieces with a peanut in. Like our peanut m&m's I guess.

White Smarties are avalible over here Cherry Ripe  Only just come out! I don't think they are limited as it doesn't say so on the packet.






I think they are a limited edition for Xmas, well that's what Nestle told me when I emailed them

I like the sound of Vanilla Smarties.  Can you still get Smarties in boxes?  Somehow they always tasted better than the ones in tubes.  The same goes for Fruit Gums (oops, not chocolate, sorry!).

I know what you mean Goldencup - a box felt like a real treat. They always used to have them at the cinmea, and boxes of Fruit Pastilles, which sadly I had to give up when I turned veggie...

Yes I tasted them last week ... I bought a bunch of foreign chocolates from Cybercandy's shop in London. Vanilla Kitkats are good too.


Boohoo though ... they had no Cherry Ripes in store

Well there was a kind of KitKat-fest going on there, as there were so many different varieties! I tried the double chocolate, dark chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Didn't try the pineapple, don't like the sound of that so much. Have you tried this one?


Also got a dark aero, a chunky, a peppermint patty and a box of American Oreos (they had Japanese ones too) oh and loads of stuff besides, such as diet cherry coke and cherry something else. Oh, and I got 2 nice cherry type fondant centre chocolates. I forget what their name is .

I have tried all the KK's they have on sale in there. They are all nice except for the strawberry one. It wasn't vile but I sort of thought the combination didn't work. The pineapple one was actually quite nice. The combination seemed to work. The Oreos are lovely too. The Oreo Strawberry pies are lovely.


I got the dark aero and I thought it was gorgeous! Think I will get the dark mars next.


Did you have a Ceclia?

Oreos are lovely!  I remember I used to be able to buy Oreos at the supermarket here but I can't any more. I guess they were launched here and didn't catch on? The lady at Cybercandy said the Japanese ones are different so I plan to try those next time!


What's a Ceclia?  Errrm, I didn't get one of those...


Oh and I remembered the other drink I got, it was Wild Cherry Pepsi. I haven't drank the drinks yet but will try them this weekend and compare the tastes!


How often do you shop at Cybercandy, Chocolate Chick?
