American sweets you can't get in Ireland?

emeraldstar

I think the small Peanut Butter Cups are the nicest. Then again I am addicted to chocolate so to me these are far better as they have more chocolate

Back to the subject of what to bring: heaps and heaps of flavours of Ben and Jerry's that we don't have over here...

especially the chocolate varieties

EDIT: Oh! and Lucky Charms of course!

Here's the plan: You go to the Halloween beers with a suitcase full of chocolate.

But secretly I will meet you beforehand to get my pick of the sweets

It's a deal!

Also, we have M&M ice cream here and it's gross.

Yes, because it has M&Ms! Worst candy on the market imo.

errr! whats fluff?

Delicious marshmallow spread. Combine it with peanut butter for a fluffer nutter sandwich, best meal you'll ever have!

I'll go you one better and piss on the American flag before I try it.

I'm calling the government and discussing the terrorist threat made by one Earthhorse against my lovely country. You'll have visitors shortly.

That's it. You just ruled yourself out of getting any of my lucky charms.

I have my own, and they're scrumptious! And I can buy as many as I want! Ha!

Nothing with nuts, please, I'm allergic.

Aw, don't worry. I'll bring you some Snickers.:D

Yummy Ben and Jerry's. It's my go-to food for depression!

I was in NY in April for the first time and I asked for twinkies in a shop - the attendant didn't know what they were! So then I assumed they were a West Coast thing - and I left the US without trying a twinkie.

What to you do with the 'Fluff' thing? Use it in recipies or just eat it from the tub?

:eek::eek::eek: That's horrible! No, they're an America thing, everyone should know them. How strange. Must have been some pinko foreigner you asked.:pac:

You put the fluff on bread. It's best with peanut butter.



Oh jesus, so delicious. One of my friends said that in her hometown there's a restaurant that serves burgers with hot sauce and fluff. Sounded nasty to me, but she said it's scrumptious!!

I dunno. That stuff kinda looks like candy floss. I don't trust it. My mom used to make peanut butter and jam sandwiches for me for school. All the other children gave me funny looks.

Hey, I'm coming to Ireland soon and want to bring some candies sweets for a few friend, but I want it to be a surprise or else they'd tell me not to bother out of politeness. What can't you get in Ireland that I can bring from here?

Your lucky friends! The jelly bean factory sweets aren't that common here yet. Also the cups hershey's I think with peanut butter inside are gorgeous and not that easily available here yum yum:pac:

i have seen pez but never nerds where do you get them?:pac:

Earthhorse

A shop across the field from where I grew up!

Used to have Nerds, Dweebs and two other varieties I can't remember. Maybe they were a different brand though because as far as I remember they were made in Coolock.

I want!!!

We used to have Nerds and Dweebs here, but like Jolly Ranchers I haven't seen them in years. i've definitely seen Pez around though, I think Lidl sell them.

Fluff is like the gorgeous filling you get in snowballs and those cones that used to be around...drool.

cozmik

You can get Fluff in Donnybrook Fair.

Dammit I forgot about this thread.

Now I'm going to have to go read my Babysitter Club books to see what other sweets you should bring. *sigh*

Cathal01

I like them Little Debbie brownies!

I tried Hershey's before and was sure it was gone off. It was like vomit. But they've started selling it over here now, and I tried to Cookies 'n' Chocolate one which was gorgeous, and my friend picked me up a regular Hershey's today by accident and strangely, it was DIVINE!

I don't think we have Cookies 'n' Choco here, but we do have Cookies 'n' Creme. Maybe I'll bring some of that, it's pretty delish.
