Ahhhh had a GREAT experience the other day at our local Stop & Shop.. was walking down the "Import" Aisle and I was checking out the Mars bars, the Aero Bars and the Kit Kats... Then I noticed to the right a familiar Orange Wrapped Chocolate bar... No it couldn't be.. I said.. the odds are stacked up against me, and LO AND BEHOLD it was!! A GLORIOUS whole box of Toffee Crisps for $1.25 EACH!!!! I almost peed my pants I was so excited, and I danced up and down the aisle literally singing "Toffee Crisp, Toffee Crisp"... then I found my hubby and put a whole heap of those little yummy chocolate bars in our cart.

After we paid for them, I got one out in the car and asked my hubby (the USC) if he was ready to taste "real chocolate"... He was rolling his eyes at me as I complain all the time about US chocolate.. but as soon as he took one bite.. he rolled his eyes for a completely different reason.. He thinks those bars are the greatest chocolate bar ever created..

MMMMMMMMMMMM I loves me Toffee Crisps....

had never heard of Toffee crisp, had to google it!! I do enjoy Coffee crisp though

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I don't mean to start a fight (as I'm sure your intention wasn't to insult U.S. chocolate) but not all chocolate made in the United States "sucks" or is under the umbrella of Hershey's either. If you only shop for chocolate at low-end retailers, then yes... you'll find the ####### chocolate, but what do you expect? They're not going to sell the finer quality stuff at WalMart, Target, Walgreen's, and so on. You'll need to try the specialty chocolate shops themselves or the higher-end grocery stores, like Whole Foods or Central Market (although I believe the latter is only in Texas).

The point I'm trying to make is that U.S. chocolate doesn't "suck." Some of it does, of course; then again, some of it doesn't. It depends where you shop and what you buy. That's pretty much universal.
