Malissa, we used to make this as kids - I think Mars promoted the recipe, but I'm not sure (?). I imagine it did the trick and increased their sales of Mars Bars! This recipe is sticky and delicious and perfect for us chocoholics! Thanks for reminding me about it  bear_tongue :lol:

Oh, and by the way, what we refer to as Mars Bars are called Milky Ways in the USA. Which is confusing, because Milky Ways are a quite different confectionary over here... (I wonder why they did that? Use the same name for different chocolates in different parts of the world?!?)

Mars bars are called Milky ways?  seriously???  huh - I never knew that! We have both here.  Im not a big milky way fan. When I was little, our Mars bars were made in the UK but now we get them from Australia. I love Mars bars but have to say I haven't eaten one in years!  We have a kiwi equivalent called Moro.

In New zealand, English marmite is sold as "our mate".  The English company sold the rights to the marmite name here so can't sell English marmite as marmite.  Apparantly ours is inferior to true British marmite!!

Here in Canada, we have Mars bars.
I thought milky way was a totally different thing??

As for the chocolate, I love the stuff, but even as a pastry chef, I never learned to like the 'good' stuff. Guess it's milk chocolate for me!

All right- I have to wade into the chocolate soup here:

Sophie IS right French choco is pretty darn good- better than almost anything found in American grocery stores......there's an awful lot of wax in Brachs  yuck it is not allowed in this house

However, Sophie overlooked German ( excellent ) and Austrian, and Italian , Mozart Kugelin are to die for, Peruggia,  wonderful,  and a little known German RITTER SPORT is wonderful-if they still exist.

Gosh I wish we had a German Beary sis or bro here.....

Ritter Sport uses whole hazelnuts in one of their concoctions-- yummmmm

It's been what?  30 years and I still miss it?

Toberlone is good for every day fun

Lindt needs to be savored

and Nutella is a staple of life.

When the Israelites traipsed through the desert for a million and a half years and they were served "manna"  it must have been chocolate flavored....how else could they eat that and nothing else for so long.....Our dear Sophie would have been in big trouble.....oh dear.......

Just a silly thought on a long ago remembered Bible story....

:hug: :hug:


:P


Sandi, I still love ya even if you don't like chocolate.....maybe you like brussel sprouts?  I'll trade you!  bear_grin bear_grin bear_grin

My fiancee is from Poland so our cabinets are stocked with Polish chocolate which, of course, he will say is the best. Most of it is from E. Wedel and I think there is also a company called Wawel that he likes too.

Dilu - look at this....in the second post she bought her Ritter Sport in the US - ok probably a million miles from you but it is out there!!  Our supermarkets are chocka full of European chocolate at the moment because of Christmas...I'm trying not to look - puts a strain on the waistband and the purse!!

Melissa, you brought tears to my eyes,  Ritter Sport was the last thing I loved in Germany that I hadn't been able to get here, and then Helena gives me a web site to order from......YumYikes!!!


Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

The last thing I had to search out was Strohs Rum....tastes like butterscotch on a binge.....I use it for cooking.

Actually too strong for drinking- but it bakes up wonderfully


Pipa- I am sorry the froggies aren't there yet.....soon soon.......


Oh Sophie!  I know if I suggested this dinner my honey would think he had died and gone to heaven.......It does sound so good......

I am thinking as a surprise for Christmas morning.....since he already opened his main gift.... bear_grin bear_grin bear_grin

We are bad that way.....


Simone, we are calling you, darling Madchen, where are you.....come join the decadent chocotarians and chocoholics as we wallow in syber calories, while waiting for e-orders to come through!!

:hug: to all

Dilu

tee hee Dilu - sounds like you'll be in chocolate heaven then!

I saw mozart kugelin in the shop the other day - I buy them for my friend who misses them from Germany - I don't think I've ever tried one though
:(

I think I must treat myself to some Lindt balls this week.
