I have an absolute weakness for the old candy bar known as a Mars Bar which is no longer made here. Fortunately the Snickers Almond bar is essentially the same candy bar because Mars Bars sold in other countries are not. I try to only buy candy bars in the fun size as that is perfect to satiate my sweet tooth. Any smaller and I want more than one; any larger and I will eat the whole thing even though I don't need it. The problem is that Snickers Almond is only sold in fun size at this time of year. So I like to stock up (and keep them in the freezer -- frozen candy -- yumm!)
However this year I've run into problems finding bags with just the snickers almond. I've found mixed bags, but I don't want the traditional Snickers. I did have a friend buy a bag and she gave me all the Almond while keeping the Traditional for herself. That was sweet of her (in more ways than one) but still I wanted to find more.
I did luck out while on vacation though and managed to find a grocery store that actually had bags of just the Almond variety. So I bought two bags and have hidden them away.
Oh frozen candy bars (especially snickers!). Reminds me of Grandma's freezer in Memphis. There was ALWAYS frozen snickers! I can't keep them in our freezer, because they all make their way to my mouth. No one else in the house really cares for them. But I think I will go right now and see if there are any Snickers in the kids Halloween candy. If so, they are destined for the freezer. Thanks for the idea...and the extra calories! I will enjoy every bite!
