Hoho, DingDong, TimTam Aussie Vs US Treats

Haha. I am waiting to try it. I kinda want to wait for my son to come back 1-1/2 weeks from now. But I am dying to crack the seal.

Well that’s a hard choice! You better not crack that sample in your box of Aussie treats :grinning:

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. It will be here in time.

All this talk about Milo reminded me that I was trying to make a mix based on it. Never got quite close enough, made a couple of tweaks on the best one today.

Just got to remember to go back to it with that MF in there, I could just keep licking it up though it tastes so good.

When I got the VTA Milkshake base it just reminded me of milo

Ok, I just tried the Milo. I could have just spooned and spooned more of that on top of the milk. That stuff is great. Less sweet than I figured it was going to be, and I loved that about it. Going to have to pace myself with this can!

Glad you enjoyed it, hoping I hadn’t hyped it up too much.

This may not help you pace it out but it goes great guns on ice cream. Some fruit (banana is best), ice cream and milo :drooling_face: :drooling_face:

No, it is really good. A real guilty pleasure. My other package shows it has left Sydney. I am thinking it’s next stop is customs in Chicago, which is just a 3 hour drive from me. So I am happy to see the shipping is chugging along really fast.

I went looking to see what American candy I could find locally, turns out this shop is 20 minutes up the road.

What do I need? :drooling_face:

And what the hell is marshmallow spread :wtf:

I will list the ones I really like:
Twinkies - definitely not good for you. Made of cake batter, old car tires, and used fast food grease. Eat no more than 12 at a time.

Flaming Hot Cheetos - while these are great, I really love the JalapeƱo Cheetos better. These are hot, but lack flavor. If they have the JalapeƱo, defintely.

Pop Tarts - Blueberry is my absolute fave. But if you like chocolate - S’mores is king. And the S’mores ones have the marshmallow fluff in them you asked about. I love them toasted crispy, where the icing just starts to develop little brown edges. Probably just to the point carcinogens develop from burnt sugar :wink:

A&W Root Beer - pour it over vanilla bean ice cream. Bury face.

Reeses PB Cups - by the handfuls!

M&M PB - where’s my shovel

Nerds, Jolly Ranchers - Fuck yeah. Two of my childhood faves!!! Two candies I could eat 24/7.

Baby Ruth - If you like turtle candies - pecans and caramel, covered in milk chocolate… Baby Ruth plays off of that but changes the nuts to peanuts and adds nougat. So, so good.

If you can imagine a marshmallow in a molten lava flow kind of gelatinous goo… there ya go. Like if you pinched a marshmallow, and held it in the air, within 2 minutes the marshmallow is touching the floor. You want to make a sweet treat that droops to the floor when held horizontal - use this instead of sugar. Warning- do NOT get this on your skin, utensils, mixing bowls, silverware. It is like trying to scrape gum off the sidewalk.

Are these a box good? Only have a whole box of 6x104g for $15??

I’m gonna double up on some of those you mentioned above, went up and not some ALL!

The prices are a bit steep. Not sure what you normally buy for $15, but for $15 USD we can buy like 3 boxes that size.

I haven’t eaten much marshmallow fluff, but I remember a time I put some on shortbread cookies when I was a kid. I used dad’s blow torch and lit the marshmallow on fire and blew them out just as they turned black. Again, turning the sugars into a carcinogen lol. Another thing I did was dip a skewer into the jar, toast it over an open flame, re-dip, retoast, repeat as many times as you want. It’s like a multi-layer toasted marshmallow on a stick.

I just thpught of something…
Sprinkle each layer with Milo and graham cracker crumbs. S’mores on a stick.

I spent 30 years smoking cyonide, pesticides, and countless other carcinogenic chemicals in analogs. Having one or two bad ones in my juice doesn’t scare me a bit.
