And they are really really nice (not quite cadburys but really gorgeous for a change).  Thanks Dayhiker, I appreciated 60 hugs through the post (I am guessing there are 60 in a pack based on the recepie on the back requiring that many but then again it looks like there are more. My only quibble with them is that they are very fiddleywrapped very fiddley indeed - I swear you almost burn off the calories from eating them by opening them... I don't know how you folk have a reputation for being rather large when you have tiny wrapped chocs (from the photos I have seen savage727 and Goofyjas both look quite skinny so I'd best save some of these hugs for you guys!). Anyway as you can see I am learning about American culture all the time. So far my notes consist of 1) "fans of european literature" 2) "are patient when eating chocolate"  |

Air conditioning is one of the better inventions of the 20th century...

That's a new one on me Roz - I have not heard of Hugs chocolates! Who makes them? I like Hershey's chocolate and especially Nestle's Crunch! |

We have about 10 left if you'd like me to save you some. They are made by Hershey's. Very nice too - white and milk chocolate mingled around each other "like a hug" apparently

They kinda sound like the Hersheys kisses - I have not had them in ages so I can't remember - are they wrapped in silver wrapping? Am probably wrong  |

Ahhh yes I think Kisses are a slightly different flavour or something - but it's a similar "model" in the range |

Thanks for the info on the Hugs Roz. They sound good but no you enjoy them. I am sure I can find some here. They would probably melt in transaltantic shipment to me anyway.  |

Asked about the chocolate frogs he is going to try and get some in and I wanted the harry potter xmas crackers but he said that because of australian standards he would need an explsoives license to import them
FTY are there any harry potter lollies near you

I went through a phase of Bertie Botts beans and choc frogs (the ones with the lenticular cards in them). I think thay have licorice wands here as well, though I have not seen any Fizzing whizbees  I'll keep looking though and let you know what I can find One reason I don't really go for these is because they could never live up to my expectations (if in my dreams!) of their magical counterparts at Honeydukes |

dutch chocolate- milk and dark chocolate combined in a fudge-like consistency. really rich and sinful.
