Candybars

[CalBoy]

It must have been a profound experience if you remember your last candy bar purchase from over 2 years ago! 😀

😛

I honestly can't remember what it was, so I was really guesstimating. Considering how long ago I last ate a candy bar, it could easily have been a Dove bar.

And surely Ghirardelli? 🙂

To be honest, whenever I've eaten Ghiradelli, it's always been one of their special flavors, so it's been hard for me to tell how good their regular dark chocolate is.

The fact that I didn't take notice of any bad chocolate flavor probably means it's pretty good. 😛

Oh How could forget?? I LOVE THOSE!😀

Ghirardelli chocolate is amazing: practically the only American chocolate I can stomach. Plus, their ice-cream shop is too much fun. 🙂

The ice cream shop in Ghiradelli Square? That place has become a tourist trap through and through. 🙁

There are a few other places for ice cream in SF that I'd much rather prefer, although for a nice sampling of Ghiradelli's season specials, I guess the Square isn't so bad.

Chocolate Smarties Bar FTW! I'm more of a lollies person than a chocolate person, but this is my favourite chocolate bar.

*Raises hand* 😀

Although, next time I'm in the City I'll have to hit you up for those other locations. 🙂

Bah! Next thing you're going to tell me is that you wore a t-shirt in July! 😛

Naturally. 🙂

Coming from Sacramento where it's 105 F, absolutely! But I brought a jacket of course. 😉 ...You only make that mistake once. 😀

EDIT: Which reminds me, I've been meaning to visit Bombay Ice Cream ever since I saw it featured on the Food Network!

Bi-Rite better be among them. 😀

Polly Ann's is or was awesome, but based on Google Maps, I'm not even sure it's still there.

Every non-local has to do it once in their lives. 😀

It wouldn't be SF without the $50 sweatshirt vendors. 😛

Honestly, I've never been there. 😱

So, I think it's ice cream as an appetizer and cheese/whiskey for dessert then! 😀

Huh Google Maps sure can't make up its mind. I was there in September last, and it was still on Noriega. Why would they have switched locations to begin with? 😕 I bet it's just Google error.

😱 Okay, that's Bi-Rite and Monk's Kettle sometime. 🙂 They're very near each other.

Perfect meal! 😀

I dunno. I just checked Street View and the block looks like some of those recently-rebuilt apartment units. There's still some commercial stuff on the ground floor, but I didn't see Polly Ann's. I haven't been in a long, long time, but I'm going to be mad if they're gone.

So I see. 🙂

The menu looked very promising.

Well, we can't leave out some fried potato product as our vegetable side. 😉

Honestly, I don't remember seeing a large Polly Ann's sign when I went there. The street view could easily gloss over it.

I think you should play Holmes and investigate. 😀

We calls them chocolate bars (if they're chocolate) or sweets (if they're sugar infused mouth orgys).

I likes me some Dime, or Daim as they call them in Ikea. Regular shops and off-licenses round my way dont seem to stock them anymore 🙁
Mars are okay but kinda filling. Less snack, more mini meal.
Galaxy is just creamy goodness.

Runners up include Opal Fruits dammit! Smarties, Skittles, Milka. But I don't have much of these.

 

[arkitect]

Lion Bars.

My favourite though, and I know they're not bars… but…
Maltesers…
And if I'm really feeling trashy some white ones.
😱😱

 

[ikermalli]

That stuff is good!!! 🙂

I also love Hershey's Cookies & Cream candy bars and Snickers. Yummm!

Hershey's Cookies n Cream FTW! Mars bars are good to 😀

 

[comictimes]

No one's mentioned them yet I don't think, but Violet Crumbles... SO amazing.

Also the white chocolate Crunch bars... I'm a huge fan of them 🙂

 

[Melrose]

I hain't had a candybar in ages.

...I mean, if you don't count expensive Starbucks coffee-chocolate squares as candybars.

 

[Palliser]

Mmmmm. Toblerone.

+1

 

[iBlue]

Please and thank yous.

 

[heehee]

Have a break, have a KIT KAT. 😛

 

[kainjow]

I usually like to indulge in a TAKE 5 mmm
