Hershey warns of looming Halloween candy shortage

[Spartan Sprinter 1]

OK, I protest. This beautiful chocolate thread has been completely usurped by liver and vegemite. The horrible inhumanity of running out of chocolate is about to befall us and we're talking about these abominations! Chocolate-covered raisins make the world go round. We only invented raisins to dip them into chocolate so now what are the raisin people are going to do?? We might as well tear down all the vineyards too. Grapes are just future chocolate-covered raisins. Don't need any of 'em now. And we'll have to cancel Christmas because chocolate Turtles are necessary to celebrate the holidays.

But no. Go on. Keep talking about yeasty organs and vegetables.

Don't make me sing the Vegemite song !!!!!!

That's what happens in the dish, everything gets caramelized to melt in your mouth deliciousness. You can eat them alone but it pairs beautifully with pork.

I love the wedding pictures you've been putting up. So beautiful!

Flavor and texture? You've got me curious.

It Has been a few years but the liver rolled in flour and then all was fried to a nice caramelized state but not over cooked. Hiking up mountains builds a hearty appetite.

LOL, personally, I think fried liver and onions are INCREDIBLE but it's probably an acquired taste...


Tofu = Blechh. I'd rather eat fried BBQ crickets from the WEF than anything with soy in it.

The only way I find liver tolerable is to make it like stroganoff. Cut the liver in very thin strips and saute it with the diced onion. Then add sour cream and cream of mushroom soup, and simmer. I needed a way to fix my anemia one time and came up with this.

No, Ice Cubes. There are pictures of them online. Could be they were called by your name in a different locale. It is actually a German confection but deeeelicious.

I looked them up. They're essentially the same and by the same company. Only the wrappers are different really.

I guess this means there won't be as much candy left in the stores that they try to get rid of by discounting it by 75%.

Raisinets!! Love them. Why bother with coating peanuts when there are raisins just waiting for a chocolate bath!

CHUNKY candy bar, one of my favorites as a kid, all 3 in one bar!

Chocolate and coconut go together pretty well too. Reminds me of a candy bar that has chocolate, almonds and coconut...

Mounds bar dark chocolate and coconut, Almond Joy, light chocolate, almonds and coconut, all good!

Because.....
Sometimes you feel like a nut....
Sometimes you don't.

You may not know this song about Almond Joy/Mounds candy since you don't watch TV. It's kinda old, anyhow.

My favorite of all time was BarNone. Then they kept changing it, ruining it, and then it disappeared

Is that the one that melts in your mouth, not in your hands???

No. That was M&Ms

Peppermint Pattie ... Get the Sensation!

Almond Joy's Got Nuts! Mounds Don't!

Better Not Lay A Finger On My Butterfinger!

<crash, bump> Hey! You Got Chocolate In My Peanut Butter!

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?!

I wonder, wonder, wonder what's in a Wonderball?

Ricooooolaaaaaa!

ETA: Everything I think I see, looks like a Tootsie Roll to me!

OK, I'm done.

I also like the chocolate oranges at Christmas.

Hopefully that statement does not send the fur flying into a second round of CheesecakeGate.

I don't eat sweets anymore but in our house a lot of Cadbury eggs, the little ones with milk chocolate inside and a crisp outer shell get eaten... or at least used to until candy became as expensive as a good steak.

I have never eaten a Cadbury egg. Don't really remember them around much though I remember the commercials.

When's the last time you had a Squirrel Nut Zipper?

Or Jolly Rancher Green Apple and Watermelon. I'm convinced those were invented by dentists to drum up business.

Milk duds... Dentists invented milk duds. The first time I went to the dentist for an emergency visit after all my caps and bridge came out while eating milkduds they had a good laugh. The second time they were in an uproar... stupid me. I liked milk duds too much to learn from my previous very expensive mistake...

Me too. But I can't stop eating them until the box is empty, even after putting them away half way thru the box; I end up craving them too much then finish them off.
