Smarties are OK but taste vaguely perfumed. Dark chocolate is an over-rated commodity, only truly delicious when combined with another flavor, like vanilla or caramel. (Thus speaks the woman whose college tuition was paid for with chocolate. I've got me some serious chocolate chops. At one point we had hundred-pound drums of M&Ms in the pantry, ready for me to grab and eat by the bowlful.) Extra flavors, different sizes, and custom designs are OK, as long as you don't mess with the classics. Like what's with all the Hershey's Kiss varieties? You need to do an investigative report into them. Hey, give me plain, not peanut M&Ms any day.

My personal faves are champagne truffles from Teuscher's--I would probably do almost anything for a few of them! I'd love to see the research on this one...just so I know where to head down the road.

We found a shop called The Candy Store, and found that you can get English candy there!!!! We bought Cadbury Flake bars, and they had Penguin bars, which I haven't seen since I was a kid at my grandmother's house in Scotland. and which the counter girl taught me a cool way to eat them, and they even had Jelly Tots. Happily (or sadly, if you're talking about my waistline) we'll be going back soon.

They taste the same, but the idea serves a different market. Do you like the concept of the personalized M&Ms? They taste the same, but the idea serves a different market.

I also think this is a fabulous idea and will result in much free chocolate being sent your way just as Little Debbie did with the snack products.
