Chocolatey Goodness

Today was the first time in over four months that I tasted a Reese's peanut butter cup and a Coffee Crisp! Now that's something worth posting about.

A package from my mom just arrived today, and it was full of Reese's and Coffee Crisp, two of my favourite chocolate bars, although Jordan claims that the peanut butter cups were intended just for him.

These are chocolate bars that we haven't found anywhere in Korea. We did happen upon a bag of mini-Reese's in the Bangkok airport, but they were ridiculously expensive, and we couldn't justify it. The phenomenon of chocolate and peanut butter co-existing in bar form seems to be non-existent in Korea.

Fortunately, Jordan's and my favourite chocolate bars (Snickers and M&Ms, respectively) are readily available here, so we are in luck. But any other type of bar that either of us likes is nowhere to be found.

You can get Twix (my childhood favourite) and KitKat here, but the KitKat doesn't taste the same. They have Mr. Big, but no Oh Henry. There are also many Korean versions of some familiar chocolate bar brands. For example, "Crunky" (similar to our Crunch bar) is pretty popular here. Also, Kikkers is a variation of KitKat, and Atlas is a type of Snickers. Dream Cacao would be the equivalent of our Hershey's chocolate bar.

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them now. Besides, all that's really important is that now I have some Reese's peanut butter cups and Coffee Crisp!
