I kind of miss the days when you could just get caramel flavor stuff and it didn't have to be all salty. I love salty food too but when I do have sweet stuff I guess I want it to be just sweet most of the time? Everyone talks about salted caramel like it's the best thing. I don't hate it and I'll usually still eat it it's just I'll usually pick something else given a choice.

I still have to send constituent consumer complaints to Werther's because I have to carry around a bug-a-salt and unwrap a handful and blast my palm to make them edible.

For caramel, no salt.

But for black licorice, yes salt.

Yeah like imagine an old seaman who has been making caramels his whole life, and he finally finds the perfect balance of under salted caramels and adding the salt at the end. He has like, the recipe, you know? And he sells his house and drives to the coast in a beat up old car, running on fumes when he gets there, pulling up at a taffy store. Walks up to the lady at the counter, says "hey you have nice palms" and she looks at the trees and he shakes his head, "no, THOSE palms" and when she turns her hands over he slips in a salted caramel. Was it worth it, was this lifetime worth it? Yes, she orders a thousand. A thousand caramels.

i've never been a fan of caramel in general. it's fine. i dont hate it, but i'd never pick it. like the ol cheapo mcdonalds sundae, Hot fudge >>>>>> caramel any day of the week. if i ordered cheesecake and it normally would come with a caramel drizzle i'd request it without. it just doesn't add anything for me. just tastes like sugar. i like me a snickers bar just fine, but the caramel is almost an afterthought in there.

when i was little i'd eat the cream part and spit out the caramel :X

i'd also eat the lollipop portion of tootsie pops and throw away the tootsie roll in the middle. i guess i've just never liked that texture of candy. :shrug:

these things are great. everyone likes a salty nut :v:

but its basically a block of that cream, a very thin layer of caramel, and peanuts. if you like those caramel creams and also peanuts, these are that but better.

they're most widely available in the midwest, but dollar tree (usually) sells them. (Also, get the OG version. they make a peanut butter version, i've tried it, its not as good.)

currently in phoenix, but from the midwest so now it makes sense why it looked familiar.

scanning the retail list on their website, i saw woodman's which is pretty nostalgic for me. i do have a winco which is on the list as well, so i guess ill hit them up for groceries tomorrow!

your guidance is much appreciated!

peanuts :yum:
