The pact

Here's a list of the contents of my grocery basket from this evening:

3 Bueno Bars
1 minty bar
1 family pack of Violet Crumbles
1 family pack of Picnics
1 pack of Starburst Babies
creamed honey

MMMMM, candy bars taste so much better in Australia. Maybe it's got something to do with the salty air...

Each time Ash came back to the States from visiting her family, she always brought back really interesting candy....Tim Tams, Violet Crumble, Allen Mints, Mint Slices, Sugar Babies, Picnics, Bounty Bars....and the most incredible assortment of Cadbury chocolate bars I've ever seen.

I decided that part of my Aussie "cultural education" would be to try a new kind of candy every few days, beyond the kinds I've mooched from Ash over the years. Of all the types I've tried, my new fav are Bueno Bars....oooooooooh. Heaven encased in a chocolate stick. They are so freakin' good. I'm going have to ration them when I get home...
