Hey that's where I got my first taste of them! And they weren't completely covered, if I remember right. The dark (semi-sweet) was the kind I got and I absolutely loved them.

There's a place in a nearby town that drizzles chocolate over fresh-popped, lightly-salted popcorn. That's awesome as well.

They won't be for me. I am not a salty + sweet person. I like both, but separately, not together.

I hope no one from Mexico reads this. They will be furious that you're trying to take away their hard won title as the world's fattest nation. We've slipped to the number two slot. Hopefully, with the help of these chocolate covered treats and a lot of hard work and determination, we will once again be known as the world's heavyweight champion.

I would try Hostess cupcakes next but I am afraid of the disappointment. Lucky for me I never did like Ho-Hos or Ding-Dongs.
You are so right. Either they have changed a lot of things or our taste has changed!! or BOTH.

I live mint, I love chocolate. I don't like them together.

Pringles has put out a couple of new sweet flavors, pecan and cinnamon. I bought them on a dare and shared them at work.
Surprisingly the pecan flavor (which just sounds disgusting) was an overwhelming success, but they are very sweet. The cinnamon didn't go over quite as well though, they didn't have much of a cinnamon flavor to them, although they did remind me a tiny bit of those cinnamon twist things taco bell has.

Last year Pringles had pumpkin flavored pringles around Halloween/T'giving. NOt too bad but I prob. wouldnt buy them again.

Our local Target didnt get the Lays choc. potato chips, might try another Target in the area.

Have heard Lays came out w/ Maple flavored Moose potato chips - am thinking they may be available in Canada - have yet to see them here but I just heard about the flavor last wk so maybe eventually

Marshalls has chocolate bars (milk choc. bar on the outside) for about $1.99 - cant remember the brand now but the inside was crushed potato chips - they also have a version w/ crushed pretzels inside. Kind of a cute stocking stuffer, I thought

I guess you could think of it similar to a chocolate-covered peanut (or almonds, coconut etc), chocolate is pretty versatile (esp. around the holidays, lol).
