Hahaha, meta-listmaking XD

1. See's Butterscotch Sqaures or Cadbury Fudge Bars (very similar candies; the former is much easier to find)
2. See's Scotchmallows
3. See's Dark Chocolate Chip truffles
4. Nobel Super Lemons - hilarious packaging AND surprisingly good
5. Lotsa Fizz candies
6. After Eight mints
7. York peppermint patties
8. Tamarind candy - I don't know the brand, the packaging isn't in English
9. Philippine Brand tamarind-mango balls

ahaha, indeed

I'm curious how you got to be a foodie. Is food important in your household?

7. omg I forgot about these
8. Now that you mention it, there are tons of candies that I like that aren't American at all.

Also: re 8
American candies are usually boring and/or overly sweet, IMO. Asian candies might have some weird-ass flavors (fruit-flavored beef jerky, what the everloving fuck) but at least there's a lot of variety, and most of them aren't as cloying.

... fruit flavored beef jerky. I don't even. Yeah.

Sometimes, it's not even real beef. It's tofu masquerading as beef.
