Peanut butter cups !
didnt realize they had them dark chocolate....mmmm and with the m&m's in dark chocolate ...well american chocolate just might become worth eating .
Peanut butter cups are good tossed in the blender with some ice cream too...saves the trouble of having to buy the flavored ones ....and was useful back in the days when there werent the flavored ones *settles down in rocking chair*

Now on the peanut butter issue...yes I know it wasn't raised but I am she cried defiantly....do aussies have real peanut butter or the kind with added sugar that stores for 3.45 centuries on the shelf?

Candy corns are addictive in the sense that you really cant stop once you start...especially if you're munching while drinking tea and doing schoolwork :%).

er, no.

we don't even have half of the almost- components that it describes... Chex? Cheerios? Cheez-it?

no cheerios are not saussages or is that a kiwi only thing....

Calla I finally know what I can send you ! Chex mix !!!
Chex and cheerios are breakfast cereals, cheez-it's are like goldfish crackers...baked cheese goodness..only unlike the goldfish without the smiley face...only question is ....how spicy/salty do you like your snacking foods ?

Holy Jeeze Lindy, I forgot I had sent those cookies,now I know where they wentwas wondering if sheila had eaten them or if they had disappeared

So let's see I shall unpack the box, and fill it with some other stuffes, it might all get mushed or mashed, but it will get there somehow

new box included:

Tootsie Rolls
Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pops
Mounds Bars
Baby Ruth
ButterFingers (guess I can take these out since you don't like them)
100 Grand
Candy Corn
Lion King Gummy Bugs
Kool-Aid (Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, Tropical Punch, Orange, Grape, Watermelon Kiwi, Raspberry, Black Cherry, Cherry, Strawberry, Lemon-Lime)
Push Up Candy
Twisted Baby Bottle Pop Candy
Lucas Muecas Revolution Candy
Super Sour Candy Spray
Sour Punch Straws

So what of this should be taken out? I know I have more room if I do some creative packingmakes me almost sorry for anyone who tries to open the box other than youit'll never be shut again

Want some more of the Oatmeal Cream Cookies? There are also some that are called Fudge Rounds, chocolate gooey cookie filled with a fudgey/chocolatey center

Glad you are enjoying the package, I know I loved mine Actually found a Wizz Fizz I somehow missed the other dayit's gone now and sheila somehow discovered the Red Skins, and well they didn't last any longer than the Fruity Tingles did around Leslie...we won't talk about the fact that I've hidden my Vegemite, it's mine, and I'm not sharing anymore of it

Give hugs to Ryan and I hope he's feeling better really soon, heidi

I hope you are kidding! They are the best things i've ever tasted!! I've even hidden them from Adrian, theres no way he's taking them to work to share with his mates.

You are teasing me, yeah? About the butterfingers?

PS: You seem to know what sorta things I like so surprise me with any additions.

I promise I won't take out the butterfingers, and we'll keep it a secret that you even have any, i'd hate for adrian to run off with them all

I'm busy now trying to figure out what I can pack where to get more room in the box and almost have it figured out I think...

What do you think of the tootsie rolls? I'm not too fond of them, but Leslie loves themso you know it's to each his own

going to have to add some fudge round and more oatmeal cream cookies to the box, they will travel safely...there are a few other things I'd really love to send, but I know that you would then have to lick the packaging theyare in, because they would definately mush to disaster

Keep hiding the butterfingers, or give him one of the tiny onesand tell him a little white lie that it is the last one

If Adrian liked the candy corn so much i'll pick up a few bags of it to put in the box

Next one will be sent via FedEx or UPS or something else:%)sometime around the 15th...heidi

Not joking about $3 a bar. The day Mum and I discovered them, we raved about them so much to my stepdad (we'd tried them ten years ago when my sister brought some back from the US) that he spent $18 on them. Six Butterfingers...(do we have a drool smilie? If not, we need one <- this one will have to do, but it doesn't really convey the emotion properly)

I want a food pal too!

Ladies, just to give me a rough idea, how much is the postage on these boxes? Is it cheaper to do several small parcels or perhaps send via fedex?

Super Sour Candy Spray

Huh? is this anything like that weird spray cheese?

Shipping isn't too awful, really as long as I don't try to send it next day, or with the US Postal Service's "Fast Service" of 2 weeks...for about 20 lbs was about $100 For ground service the same box was about $30...

I am going to check the price of shipping with FedEx and UPS, as well as whoever else is around here, DHL?

Just a fair warning about US Postal Service Ground is they promise 4-6 weeks maximum, but in actuality it took I want to say 10-12 weeks I believe...

Oops

Since Ryan is still sick and can't drink the kool-aid, I think I sent Lemonaid or Pink Lemonaid, mix it up and drink it yourself, just don't let Adrian know it's there, you'll never get any of it

It's suddenly dawned on me that I might have a couple of minty's left, so I'm off to find them...they will settle my tummy

geez, UPS is much cheaper than that. My last package took a week and was 40 bucks. Kinda hefty. The one before that was very light and cost 15 dollars for 3 day service.
