Candy bar: Milky Way Midnight

Candy : Red licorice or salt water taffy

Cookie : Homemade - chocolate chip; storebought - Mystic Mints

Chips : Eh, it depends on my mood. I like Doritos (like corn/tortilla chips better than potato chips, generally). Hate Pringles, won't eat anything ranch-dressing flavored.

I am a walking sweet tooth. This is my list for right now...it could always change tomorrow!

Candy Bar: Milky Way Dark, Kit Kat Dark (it's new!)
Candy: Ethel M's anything or sour gummi anything
Cookies: Mom's homemade rasberry chocolate chip (that never changes!) I'll settle for Peppridge Farm though if I have to.
Chips: Vegas Chips Salt and Vinegar...new addiction...need a twelve step program soon...

hmmm, now I am hungry...chocolate is on the food pyramid in the breakfast catagory right?

Mystery - Wow, that's so great, what site was that at? I can't believe others were looking for it too, lol, it was really good though, and exactly as they described it. Thanks so much. ezicon7

Willsmom - I've actually never heard of anything called Marathon Bars. Sounds delicious though (i still love those small 'Kraft' caramels), are they still around? The Marathon bars I mean, I'd love to give them a try. Thanks so much for the addie btw, It'll probably have me salivating in no time flat, lol. drool

Sonia - No, I didn't even know there was a new Candy store on St. Denis, and I live like just a couple of blocks over too, on Clark St. I'll be sure to check it out though. I just can't get into store bought cookies too much. They are all too hard, I prefer soft chewy cookies. Thanks for the heads up. grin_001

Oh, 'en vrac' = in bulk.

This isn't really a cookie, more of a bar, and home made at that...But does anyone here know of something called Nainomo Bars?

OMG...They are just AMAZING!!! summersault

Thanks so much Mystery. :)

About the song...I know how you feel, I have it going through my head constantly. It's my daughters favorite movie and she plays it all the time. Truth be told, it's really one of faves too. I've seen it dozens and dozens of times, lol.

Speaking of which, and in keeping with the theme of this thread...Dontcha wish someone had thought of making real life Toot Sweets? I always wondered why no one ever thought to do that.

There was a candy maker back in the 60's, I believe, that made candy shaped like a Toot Sweet ... it even worked as a real whistle!

Have to add my 2 cents:

CandyBar: Brown&Haley's Almond Roca & Herseys with almonds but really wish Brown&Haley still made Mountain Bars & wish Ghiradelli still made their movie candy Flicks.
Candy: taffy from Brian's Kitchen in Cannon Beach OR (going to beach this week so might pick up some, I hope, in the pretty pink box).
Cookie: Chewy ChipAhoy (store-bought), chocolate chip w/walnuts (baked from dough bought from the schoolkids that come by every autumn), Russian rumballs (homemade from scratch with butter).
Chips: Ruffles w/ridges, original Fritos
Worst Job: motel maid (lasted only 1 week)

Oh great, now the dang Toot Sweet song is going through my head!

Did you know that the novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was written by Ian Fleming? (You can just call me Roddy....)
