Can't stop laughing -- crying -- laughing over the idea of importing American chocolate, of all things! What's next, importing American colored water, I mean, beer?! Get thee to Switzerland, girl! Enjoy real chocolate, before it's too late!!!! And real beer too, for that matter …

Jan Allison

The shop has Hershey bars too and other forms of candy of course they come at a premium price ! Oh Switzerland now that's a good idea, we also used to go on coach holidays to Bruges in Belgium, that was many years ago when we lived in the UK. Now we are on a little Island and hubby has diabetes - how things change over time!:-) hugs Jan xx

You can come out now Jan. Its over we lost. Have you got any left over Peanut Chocolate For me to bite my teeth into. Sat watching Newsnight and they are discussing is the England football team bringing people together or Racist. W.T.F is it me or is everything or any topic on t.v news drawn into a race debate even when it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic whatsoever. Its like they are obsessed or determined to create an issue where in fact there isn't 1? Maybe its me ?

Christopher Flaherty
Date: 7/13/2018 4:09:00 PM

I know there is no need sadly but they like to stir up the pot hoping fir a response I think . They don't have to but they love to

Jan Allison
Date: 7/12/2018 4:57:00 PM

I am glad its over now Chris and we can get back to normal, so sad they turn it into a racist debate. Makes me so glad i don;t watch any of it:-) No plain choc Reeces but you can get milk choc ones in the pound shops hugs jan xx

Reese's peanut butter cups were a favorite in my young days. Haven't seen them in years? Chocolate, however, I eat as often as I can – not the milk choc. but the highest cocoa kind. Not cheap but who cares? / M

Jan Allison

I love dark choc of any sort :-) hugs Jan xx

I'm in the US and haven't seen or tasted these. Wonder what happened to them? Were they so popular that the other Reece's candies weren't selling? Who knows...You made me crave them though. If you can't get them; why not make your own? http://www.thecomfortofcooking.com/2014/01/homemade-reeses-peanut-butter-cups.html
