Did anyone used to play the Revel game. You'd take a bag of Revels and guess what was in it? The Maltesers were easy, as were the chocolate disc things...but the others? A tad harder. The prize though was a caramel one....mmmmmmmm!

Oh poor Lisa, get D to send you one over.

Terry's chocolate orange always remind me of Christmas. We always had one in our stocking.

They sell them in our local grocery store, no doubt they're made by Hershits tho. grr

What websites do you recommend as having the best selection of treats? I am planning ahead and want to send some on before i go - i once sent him my favourite turkish delight but i cannot seem to find this - love the frys peppermint creme as well ! any chance of after eights?

http://www.foodireland.com/Merchant2/merch...;Category_Code=

if shoving them into my computer vents would make them come out on your end, i'd totally share!

my fiance sent some orange club biscuits too - to serve as a deflector shield against my greedy, biscuit stealing coworkers. thus, more mint clubs for me! woohoo!

I LOVVEEEE orange chocolate. Adore it.

Tell ya what I am missing today. Revels.

http://www.foodireland.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?

Here's one, but their prices are a bit steep [still, it's all there. Revels, chocolate Orange, etc]:

Another:

More [i think these prices are among the better ones]:

http://www.britishfoodshop.com/shopdisplay...t=Confectionary

Even More: [i think they are looking to raise their prices since the pound is kicking the dollar's a$$ right now, hehe]

Sorry if these are repeats from other threads.

LisaD, I don't know how much it varies from county to county, but I'm in Florida and I can get Terry's Chocolate Orange in Walgreens. Maybe they've got 'em where you are? It's sooooooo good.

As of right now I've got a fresh stockpile of Yorkie bars, Revels, Minstrels, and Turkish Delights I'm guarding like Fort Knox, and a rather large supply of Bisto containers I've stacked proudly into a tower on the counter until I make room to fit them in the cabinets. I have too much time on my hands...

The in-laws just flew back to Worcester yesterday, *sigh* However, they brought a RIDICULOUS amount of Brit treats with them, so hubby and I are thrilled!

We have more Sticky Toffee pudding than we could EVER hope to eat in a lifetime, along with more chocolate bars than I ever received on Halloween!! The highlights:

*Ten packs of Digestives (Caramel, Orange and Butterscotch chocolate flavour!!)

*Jaffa Cakes

*Fig Buscuits

*Tons of Aero bars ;__; I'm so happy

*Galaxy Caramel Flavour Hot Chocolate mix

With all the good treats sometimes I wonder why I didn't just immigrate over there instead XD
