Candy on Sale!!!

There is nothing better than candy on sale! Especially expensive candy like that in Williams-Sonoma. These S'Mores were $24.95 originally, now they are marked down to $9.99:







These are as close to the real thing as I've seen. I ate one out of the box and it was pretty good. I bet if you zapped it in the microwave, it would rock! (Kris, I'm with you - never as good as the real thing.) But if you like s'mores - these are the best packaged ones I've found.


These were originally a whopping $16.50! $16.50 for a box of marshmallows! But I got them for $4.99.







They look pretty good and they ARE chocolate! But they aren't even worth $4.99. Just too bland. Boo!!!

These are another matter entirely. I saw them originally at $26.00 and refused to pay that for "a crunchy, buttery confection showcasing crisped rice and Guittard milk chocolate." I mean $26.00 crisped rice??? Please. But at $9.99 I thought I'd check them out:







And let me tell you what - they are awesome!!! The crisped rice (toasted organic brown rice) is mixed with a "homemade buttery caramel base." OMG!!! It's the caramel base that rocks these babies. Get thee to Williams-Sonoma and score some - they are fantastic!!!!


At first I thought the dancing figures on the box and liner were idiotic. After I tasted the candy, I want this as a bumper sticker. Or a tattoo.




Trust me. You too will be doing the happy dance.

Those W.S. S'Mores really are yummy. And since I'll be right near one tonite I may have to see if they have any of those left.

But...the real thing still stands above all others. I'm just a snob and I'm OK with that.

I'm okay with that too, GF! With some things, you just HAVE to hold out!

The dancing figures in the box was so cute. I like it. Definitely the Williams - Sonoma S'Mores were really good. Thanks for the yummy post.
