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.

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.

Perfect meal!

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
