Twiglets deserve that A++. I am addicted to them, which is a shame when I can't find them now. :(

Haha! So agreed on Battenberg cake, too.

On the mint thing - what about Aero? Granted, they're weird, but quite good on the mint front. It's like soap!

I already said that doesn't count. I like mint Aero, but I don't even know what to call that styrofoam-esque filling thing. Give me oozing peppermint cream anyday!

I was going to write to the Queen and the Prime Minister but upon reflection, your suggestion makes more sense.

Did you know people with peanut allergies play Russian Roulette with Revels?

There's no peanuts in Revels. YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!

Those marshmallow teacake things - they remind me of this!

Ha, that is pretty much what they are! Only 'Royals' is a much better name than 'teacakes'. Mmm... what I wouldn't give for a packet of Arnott's Mint Slice right now...

In Cumbria a teacake is a bap!

Revels...guess what my nickname was at school!

I've never eaten a nice battenberg cake. The thought of them makes my toes curl. Urghhh.

I do like twiglets. I find them strangely moreish.

Mint matchmakers are worth a dabble1 :D

LOL really? That is a cute nickname.

Hmm, mint matchmakers look interesting although not creamy. I shall investigate!
