I remember the UNO's and I loved them. They also made a bar called BAFFLE BAR, which was good, too. One was more jell-filled than the other.

I picked up some See's suckers during the holidays, and I love their peanut-brittle, too.

We have them in abundance here in Montreal. Funny fact: You can't bring them across the border to the States. They seem to be ILLEGAL in the U.S. Yup, just looked on Google -- they are banned in the States.

Yes.
I know.

Which is why they are "hard to get."

I would ship them to you but then I'd end up in prison. I'd do really badly in prison.

I was at a See's a couple of days ago. They were giving out two free pieces. Oh, happy day.

Not a true plain chocolate, but a treasured favorite nonetheless. Chocolate covered cordial strawberries

I have many fond memories of these yummies from western Pennsylvania. We used to bring them home on the plane after spending the summer with the family. I can remember we once carried 10 lbs home in my mom's carry-on bag! They had to be specially packed so they didn't melt. One strawberry weights about 1/2 pound. It's full of a sugary strawberry, juice and covered in rich milk chocolate...Yum.
I believe Gimbels' (sp?) department store used to carry them, but now I can only find one source that makes them just as I remember. They don't ship in the summer.

I've had those! They are so good. I can't even remember how long it's been since I've had one.
