Whenever my sister and I would eat See's chocolate, we call it "see's chocolate suprise!" Half the fun is guessing what you ate. Very tempting!

Who's got some chocnut? I love chocnut for its unique taste, also like Joanne, for nostalgic reasons as well. However, my kids all born and raised here in CA like em just because. It may just be my imagination but it seems to me that the chocnut pieces now are smaller than I remember them from my childhood. Or it could be they only seemed bigger to me back then as a little kid. Gonzo, pag take over mo ng Chocnut and improved on the product, bili ako ng stock OK? We might make some money here. Oh, the possibilities! Chocnut? Who’s got some chocnut?

They're truly fantastic, the best thing See's has come up with. wish i had a can now.. Never even heard of sassafras lollipop. groovy name though. will check out. as for the chocnut co takeover, haha, ok will reformulate for less powderiness, but i don't know, maybe part of the charm of chocnut is its distant relation to polvoron? i just chuck em in the deepfreeze so that when it's time to eat one it doesn't fall apart on you. incidentally, i did a taste test of the other chocnut style candies in the market in the hope that someone would have improved on the original chocnut. No luck. The others (Hany, Chocomani, etc) are even more sugary sweet, less flavoursome, and/or chalkier than the orig. dragsville.. Trishlovesbread: Almond Royal, of course!
