i've been deplorably lazy about posting my thoughts on the american candy i picked up while in Portland and Washington last month, but i'm finally getting around to it.

Awww, I could have warned you about the U-NO bar. *bleh*

Oh god I love Heath. The entire bar is so hard/sticky that the moment you bite it you have the Heath taste stuck in your mouth for hours. Then, the next day you wake up with an extreme craving for MORE Heath bar.

I agree about Skor bars. Much tastier.
I love Boston Baked Beans, but the ones you find at candymakers are much better than the ones in the cute little boxes, IMO.
You missed the Wonka bar, though. That's my favourite!

My mom and I Looooove U-NO, and Mint U-NO. I agree it is waxy, especially when cold, and yet it is so melty-smooth.

Idaho Spud? Not the best marshmallow. Blegh.

And yes, Hershey's is grainy, and it dries out my mouth, and since discovering better things I really don't know why it's so huge. Mr. Goodbar *is* a world of difference too. Man. And I didn't used to like peanuts.

It was funny for a moment seeing all the familiar candy bars in a photo there. I was confused a moment.

They don't have Hershey's Milk Chocolate in Canada?
I agree that it is "typically american," most people I know swear that it's better than any foreign chocolate they've tasted. I did too until I became a teenager and began to realized chocolate should a flavor.
