Especially with chilli -------------------- Happiness isn't a destination; it's a means of travelling

I don't think it keeps that long either. I may have to toss it. I don't think you should write this out loud in a chocolate lovers thread dude.... -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future.

I like to plant the Tree ... but cocoa tree may be difficult to find here in Thailand but i like wafer Chocolate.. Here has Shanghai...(The red wrapper) Thai Style... don't forget to look for it in the supermarket... I like that too

My favorite: Jean-Paul Hevin chocolate from Paris. It is absolutely to die for. http://www.jphevin.com/ For easy to find stuff, I like Lindt truffles.

You can't get the eggs in the states because of rules saying that you can't put toys in food right? I grew up in a really German household, so I had the toys before everybody else even knew what they were. I don't really like Russell Stover...too much raspberry cream and such. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

It looks like heaven, and Sam really enjoyed it. Oh, yeah, yummy! (I like her show) I went to a little cooking demonstration once where we were shown how to make churros, then we all got taster churros with chocolate to dip them in. The churros had a hint of citrus in them (from zest in the dough), and it was so, so good! -------------------- ~Kit California Local Expert Visit my travel blogs: http://www.travelpod.com/members/kitkatgo

I haven't ever eaten churros. It was on my "have to do" list the first time I went to San Diego and Disneyland, but I never saw a vendor. OMG, you're kidding! I wouldn't know where to get churros in San Diego (and lived there for years and years--maybe at Sea World or Old Town??). BUT, I can't believe you couldn't find a cart at Disneyland!!!! Disneyland is THE place to get them (the only other place I can think of or have ever seen them would be a county fair). p.s. The cooking demostration I went to was at Disney's California Adventure during their Food & Wine Weekends. The demonstration was by one of the chefs from the premiere restaurant there, Napa Rose (where you can get the fancy churros that he made and let us taste). Within the 2 parks, they are great, but not "gourmet" churros. -------------------- ~Kit California Local Expert Visit my travel blogs: http://www.travelpod.com/members/kitkatgo

Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 14509 Joined: 5-November 07 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Member No.: 103914	Found on Wikipedia, maybe Cracker Jacks aren't "confections": Kinder Eggs containing toys are not suitable for children under the age of three due to the small parts which may be ingested or inhaled. They are sold all over the world excluding the United States, where the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act prohibits embedding "non-nutritive items" in confections. Additionally, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on the eggs in 1997. There are some stores in the United States that sell genuine Kinder Eggs, often in conjunction with other imported British or other European sweets, although their importation is technically illegal due to the 1938 law and 1997 recall.[1] -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

Churros remind me of Disney - I haven't been able to find any since Chocolate covered nuts/raisins/dried fruit are the best... and white chocolate covered blueberries are fitness! Holland & Barrett sells them all in England, I think I'm addicted.
