The dark chocolate doesn't marry well to the center, for me.

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I agree with Ursula on the differences between Bordeaux candies. The eggs are too much and I'm afraid attempting to eat an entire one in my 20s is probably why I don't LOVE any of them now. My sister used to be obsessed until someone bought her an entire box and she got sick of them. Now we can both eat one in an assortment and enjoy it, but they'll never wow either one of us. My favorite (in case Shiva is reading ;->) is the Peanut Brittle and English Toffee. As a side note, can anyone tell me why it's called English Toffee? When I was in England some 15 years ago I went searching far and wide for authentic English Toffee, what I found was more of a taffy than a toffee. More of a soft chew instead of that heavenly crunch I love so.

I do like the Key limes, i can have 1 of those, and the sugar free Peanut Brittle,we like it better than the reg. Peanut Brittle

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter HOLD THE PRESSES! Does the Bordeaux always have those chocolate jimmies sprinkled all over the exterior?

Might that have been a Bordeaux?
