I keep hearing it on US shows.
What the hell is it? It sounds awful.

Also theres another foody thing that was on Friends once. Ross ate a load of it and was acting really high after.
Cant remember the name though.

it's taffy and is a kind of toffee/candy - not salty as such but if you think of milky ways,they have a slight salty tang...in that way.

Nbg · 03/06/2007 12:23

I guess maple candy is sweets made from maple syrup?

Should not have looked at that site.
I really want to try Reese's Peanut Butter cups.

Found out about salt water taffy anyway

Aarghhh ! Reese's peanut butter cups are my most favourite sweets !!! you can buy them in Woollies usually - you get 3 and they are heavenly (also made my own using a Nigella recipe - very rich)... generally American chocolate isn't very nice but the peanut butter cups are sublime !

drooooooooooool

might have to go up to Woolworths now - damn !

Nbg · 03/06/2007 12:38

Just wondering if our local woolies sells it...

they aren't always in our one - must be very popular - they usually have a Reese's Nutrageous bar too,which is very peanutty but not as nice

I love going to cybercandy when I'm in covent garden. I always get cherry ripes, yum yum.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 03/06/2007 13:16

Oh does anyone remember Jolly Ranchers? Those american hard boiled sweets with insanely over the top flavourings?
I loved those, but you can't get them here anymore. I craved watermelon ones when pregnant.

Nbg · 03/06/2007 13:19

Yeah I do!

There on the cybercandy site too.

I don't but they sound nice - I have a mind to get some of that Spanish Gold tobacco stuff, but don't think Cybercandy do it...
