what's everybody's favourite sweets?

Gopher Gary:
I finally got the chance to do a TimTam slam and was horribly disappointed. It never occurred to me that the result of a TimTam slam is a giant mouthfull of sweet goo. I had stomach problems when I was a kid, back in the days when people didn't really know much about things like lactose and grain intolerances. Around the age off five I had to eat baby food for about a year, and ever since then sweet goo makes me gag.  :lol1: TimTams are pretty good on their own as a crispy cookie though, but I'm not much of a sweets person in general so I doubt I'll ever buy them again.  :dunno:

I used to get snacks and goodies from a monthly box called Tokyo Crate... and the favorites I had sweet-wise was the different flavored Kit-Kats that were packaged into the box.

I heard that Starburst has discontinued their line of sweets. Someone on Facebook said they couldn't find them anywhere.

Sorry, but you may be right.

DirtDawg:
I make brittle sometimes and usually put pecans in it, instead of peanuts.
Super easy to make, just heat up some sugar with a little salt. Then add a bit of vanilla if you want. It has to get really scary hot and turn a little brown, then just pour it over your nuts on a flat sheet, carefully, and let it cool.

For something commercially available, I'll go with any dark chocolate.
Sometimes I buy a bag of dark, semi sweet chocolate chips intended for making cookies and just munch on them straight out of the bag.
My favorites are made by Ghirardelli.

I also melt down almond bark and make little balls, then roll them in crushed pecan powder. Pain in the ass, because I like more pecan flavor than almond bark. I have to make them small to get the balance just right.

My wife is the real confectioner, though. She makes fudge, divinity, truffles and something super rich and sweet,  "loaded with toothaches"  that she calls "chewy gooeys."
