Thanks as always for your input. Cybele runs one of the best candy web sites out there...check it out at <a HREF="http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/" rel="nofollow">Candy Blog</A>...which right now features the Christmas Dots. I have a box of them sitting downstairs and hope to give them a go sometime before Christmas. BTW, Cybele, the Internets didn't eat your comment....I'm just slow in posting these days.

I always buy my halloween candy (for the trick or treaters) about a month ahead of time so I can get normal prices, And sure enough I'm in the candy aisle in Walmart, and I see a big bag of Mini Dark chocolate reeses cups! And of course I am going to hoarde them this year :) ~Brittany I’m in absolute love with the Dark chocolate Reeses!

]]> Comment on One Wrapper That Will NOT Be On My Site by Mike http://mikescandywrappers.com/blog/2009/08/23/one-wrapper-that-will-not-be-on-my-site/#comment-4727 Mike Thu, 01 Oct 2009 23:58:35 +0000 http://mikescandywrappers.com/blog/?p=126#comment-4727 But...but...I read it on the Internet, so it MUST be true!

It was seen as a competitor to Nestle's Aero. Confirmed by the Cadbury website. Sorry for the error. But…but…I read it on the Internet, so it MUST be true!
