Britons are radically changing the way they go on holiday, according to new research from Cater Allen Private Bank. Traditionally, the majority of Britons have holidayed in Europe, with nine of the top ten overseas holiday destinations on the continent. However, new research shows a shift in the holiday destinations Britons aspire to, with only 26 per cent of people wishing to holiday in Europe, and 63 per cent wishing to go to long haul destinations.
Favoured holiday destination:
- Europe 26 per cent
- Australasia 21 per cent
- North America 17 per cent
- Asia 9 per cent
- South America 8 per cent
- Africa 5 per cent
- Antarctica 3 per cent
- Don't want or don't know 12 per cent
Britons also appear to be increasingly adventurous or alternative in their choices of holiday. 26 per cent wish to explore somewhere off the beaten track, while 22 per cent would holiday in the mountains, 10 per cent on safari, 11 per cent in the rainforest and 10 per cent on activity holidays.

Australian Military History Specialist Bookstore
With such a large selection of research and reference material available today on Australia's War and Military history from Pre World War 1, WW1, WW2 Australian Imperial Forces (AIF); the task of Genealogy / researching a relative's past Military service has been made much easier.
At Booksforever bookshop we specialize in mostly WW1 & WW2 Unit histories (books that record a specific Military Units history during/throughout their service from formation to disbandment). These specialist titles offer one of/if not the best resources available when researching a Units 'footsteps' throughout their service. Most importantly (which sets these titles apart from 'general history books') is many/most of these speciality titles will also contain vital information necessary for your research which can include: WW1, WW2, Nominal Rolls, Battle Honours, Casualty Lists, Decorations and Awards, Unit member photos (some include Soldier Biographies), Honour Rolls, Embarkation Roll/Dates and more.
Although many World War 1 and 2 Australian Military histories have been printed over the years (some going back over a 100 years); the vast majority are now out of print and are very unlikely to be reprinted. Originally many of these were done in very limited numbers; usually enough for members and families only, but certainly not in the large print runs like the latest novels are done today. Even when a 2nd edition was/is printed (sometimes decades later), they were also usually limited editions and it wasn't/isn't long before they also go out of print. Reprint editions can also be beneficial, as in some cases they provide updated and/or revised information that the 1st editions did not have.
On the other side of the coin, there is also a very large number of AIF Units that have not had any books published on their service at all. From a historical point of view, this can mean many an Australian Military Units history could slowly be forgotten as the years pass.
Overall, many of these unique books on Australian Military (AIF) history are fast becoming harder and harder to find as the years pass and as demand increases. Many of these books due to their rare nature don't last long….and it can be many years before another re-surfaces. If you are interested in a particular book but can't find it here on our bookshop; please feel free to simply email us.
All prices are in AUD.

Michael Crichton is a high-tech, science-savvy Renaissance man in the 21st century. He has sold more than a hundred million books, which have been translated into 30 languages. Twelve became high-grossing movies. Children everywhere have "Jurassic Park" nightmares.
His books are so popular in China that when the calcified remains of a species of dinosaur was discovered there, the Chinese named it Bienosaurus crichtoni in his honor. In 1992, People magazine named him one of the "Fifty Most Beautiful People." Now a new kind of fame brings Mr. Crichton to Washington to speak to policy wonks. He's promoting his new book, "State of Fear," which zoomed to the top of the bestseller lists, but he doesn't come to Washington to talk about the novel.
Not long ago his speech, "Science Policy in the 21st Century," was sponsored by two think tanks, the American Enterprise Institute and Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies, and it's about what he thinks about environmentalists in general, and climate change in particular. He has a lot of thoughts about the way science influences public policy.
He minces no words. What passes for science by so-called experts in the debate over "global warming," he says, influences policy that is based on faulty data and ideological considerations. This does considerably more damage than good.
Ideology drives the scientists who get the grants to conduct research; the government agency that gives grants is driven by politics. In the novel, a page-turning action thriller, major characters, including a scientist, a lawyer, a philanthropist and two gorgeous women are superheroes who foil the devices of environmental extremists, evil missionaries with messianic drives, pushing policies born of their own egos.
In a novel twist on the novel, the author appends footnotes and a bibliography to document scientific reports, and two hard-hitting essays explaining how and why politicized science is dangerous.
He compares the science of the environmentalists as similar to that of the study of eugenics a century ago. The study of eugenics, the idea that the human race could be "improved" by selective breeding, was at first supported by presidents, Nobel laureates, major universities and the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations, and together they molded public opinion. The science was insidious, pseudo-, and wrong.
Eugenics, recognized nearly everywhere now as both morally and criminally wrong, led directly to the Holocaust, with the Nazis killing first the feeble-minded, and ultimately extended to include Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals. Those who opposed eugenics were reactionary, ignorant or both. Research motivated by racism, fear of immigrants and "keeping the wrong people out of the neighborhood," drew few protests.
Mr. Crichton argues that many environmental studies today are similarly flawed, directed by scientists who shape their research to fit the cause, and read by an ill-informed public duped to believe that scientific papers are "objective." He cites an editorial in The Washington Post, which suggests adopting a policy change in climate control as "a sign of goodwill" to Europe. He notes, with irony and dismay, that the editorial appeared on the day that a dispatch from Auschwitz detailed the observance of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the infamous death camp. Auschwitz, he says, was a direct descendent of politicized science.
Environmental grants, he argues, should go to several scientists working on a project with opposing points of view. Their work should be subjected to mutual criticism. "We need face to face dissent." The results should be made public: "The people paid for it, the people own it." Only ruthless arguments can get to verifiable facts. Congressional hearings on scientific matters, he observes, are mostly dog and pony shows where questions are either "soft balls or hand grenades." Congressmen are eager to show off what their staffs have found for them, and ideologues want to persuade. This is a dangerous way to make policy.
He cites the story of the pesticide DDT, effective against many disease-carrying insects, as an example of environmentalism gone awry. DDT, he argues, was falsely accused of causing cancer, and because it was banned millions, mostly children, have died of disease and their deaths "are directly attributable to a callous, technologically advanced western society that promoted the new cause of environmentalism by pushing a fantasy about a pesticide, and irrevocably harmed the third world." Environmentalism, he says, is "the religion of choice for urban atheists." Such heresy won't be as popular as his novels and movies, but in the long run, may have the impact of DDT on a mosquito.

St. Edward's Andrew Butz: Not just another face in the crowd
VERO BEACH — Andrew Butz had no idea he was going to be featured in Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd" this week, so it was a pleasant surprise when someone texted him a picture of the page with his write-up.
The 2010 St. Edward's School graduate and tennis player was one of six individuals to be selected for the July 5 issue released this week.
In each issue, Sports Illustrated highlights standout athletes and coaches at the high school and college level through its "Faces in the Crowd" section that includes a head shot and brief about each featured individual. Butz was selected for his accomplishments with the state runner-up Pirates, winning the Class 1A state singles championship for a second consecutive year and also teaming up with Conner Pickering to win a doubles title.
"My parents must have submitted it, but they didn't even know it was going to be in there," said Butz, who signed to play at the University of Florida. "I was shocked when I saw it."
Butz, who finished 19-0 at singles, subscribes to the magazine but was in Colorado watching his sister play lacrosse when the issue was released. After receiving the texted photo on his cell phone, he tried to find a copy of Sports Illustrated in the airport but it had not yet reached the newsstands. His copy was awaiting him at his home in Vero Beach.
"I always read that section because its high school and I'm always curious if I will see someone I know, so it was really exciting to be in there," Butz said. "I was really happy."
Butz said it has been a good summer for him overall. He made it to the finals of the USTA Florida Junior State Closed Championship last month, but retired in the third set because of injury, and was on his way to Tallahassee for a Leval 2 national tournament Friday.
"I'm having a great summer playing tennis and having a lot of fun," Butz said.

I have had the same sponsor for a year and a half. We are roommates, friends, and sponsor/sponsee. Recently I have had to make amends to her several times for my behavior. Also, I have found that I have become very dependent on her, rather than on my HP. I was letting my life get intertwined with hers. My peace, and joy and happiness, came if she was happy. (Retarded) I wasnt being my own person. Anyway, she sent me several textes the other day and it ticked me off.
I asked if we could meet where we met last time if we could continue to do our 12/12 study (finished BB already)> She replied we will meet exactly when and where we have already agreed upon and discuss only what we already said we would. Nothing more. Have your assignments done if you want to meet. Also, until further notice you are only allowed to read the BB, no texting unless it is an emergency and then only 911. and third you are only allowed to visit my mom if you have spent more time with yours that week. ( I was watching IDOL and Dancing with the stars) You can call me between 12 to 2 if you need any clarification.
My dumb behind responded text said k.
I got what part of no texting do you need help understanding. Our actions have consequneces and your consequenmce is you may not call me today until I dont have my daughter. If you have a problem you may call your grandsponsor.
Needless to say, I havent spoken with her as a spnsor since. We are meeting up tomorrow and I am not sure if I am changing sponsors or not.
I am in constant fear of her. Scared she is going to flip out. I havent been the best sponsee either, but I try and do everything she tells me to do, some of the stuff is just extreme it seems. If I think about taking a drink or majorly upset, I never call her. I call her sponsor. I am scared to open up to her. Yes I have done my 4th and 5th with her and didnt have a problem then.
She stated where I am at in my sobreity I should not need my sponsor all the time. Basically if I have a problem or need to talk to her I have to make a note of it and wait till our meeting time.
I am scared to change sponsors because the problem is probably me, and then it is just going to follow me to the next sponsor. I dont want to change when im irritated.
I am a firm believer in a hard, mean sponsor. If my sponsor doesnt make me mad, then one of us is not being honest.
I dont know what to do. I have prayed about it and still stumped.
I have looked at why the textes upset me and it is because I feel like she is controlling me and taking away stuff I enjoy doing. Because if I do the things she said not to, then I am not willing. HLEP ME
Need help with my sponsor!!!

I'd go to the grand-sponsor, meet w/ her, and explain everything. Then, change to the grand-sponsor as sponsor or find a different sponsor if that didn't work.
I'd rather not comment on your sponsor other than to say that you need a new one.
And... one that you're not living with. I think that will help.
If not -- check back. Either way, keep in touch. You need someone that you can feel comfortable talking with.
Best wishes,

Florida Tropic Oranges
I see the Florida Tropic oranges from time to time in the stores, but I haven't really payed much attention to them until this year. When I attended the convenience store show in Las Vegas (NACS) a while back the folks at SweetWorks, the company that makes the Florida Tropic chocolate product line gave me a set of almost every flavor (I got eight of the nine).
Since there are a lot of flavors of their version of the segmented flavored chocolate "orange", I'm going to deal with just three of them today: Dark Chocolate Orange, Milk Chocolate Orange and the 70% Cacao.
The boxes are quite simple. A plastic holder for the sphere of chocolate segments, which is wrapped in foil. The boxes are simple and show off the product well, but are frustrating to open. They use so much glue on them that it's nearly impossible to just flip open the top, instead pulling it apart shreds the usability of the box to store the product.
While Terry's Chocolate Orange tells us to Whack & Unwrap, the Florida Tropic Orange says "Break then Open" with a little drawing of a hand cupping the orange firmly. As I've opened a lot of these in the past few weeks I can say this: don't whack or smack or break. Just open it up and either break it in half then or use a knife to wedge in and loosen a slice. It's far less messy, though probably not as satisfying.
The foil wrap is great. I've been frustrated with the plastic stuff that Terry's has been using for a few years now, it's slightly too small for re-wrapping, and of course it doesn't actually stay the same way foil does. This foil is great, it's heavy and of course pretty. It's also, for the most part, color coded by flavor. (Except for the milk and dark orange flavored ones, which are similar shades of orange.)
The pieces are a nice two bite size. They have a textured "rind" and one side of each section is designed to look like an orange slice complete with peel and pulp. There's a distinct ridge on the edge which makes the pieces a little lighter, which might account for the difference in weight between Terry's Chocolate Oranges and Florida Tropic. (There are 18 slices, so that also accounts for it.)
The orange scent is a mix of orange oil and the smell or orange Tang drink. The dark chocolate is mostly orange flavored with both the citrus zest and a strange bit of juice note. The melt is quite decent, though not quite buttery and smooth, it's still slick and only slightly gritty and chalky near the end. (I think the cacao content is about 50% on these.)
The orange is a bit too strong for my desires for this product, but when combined with non-oranged items like pretzels, plain almonds and the 70% Cacao version below, it's quite a nice treat. I ended up using much of this orange for some chocolate pudding over the weekend. I combined 3 cups of milk, 3/4 cup of cocoa, 1/4 cup of corn starch and 7 finely chopped slices instead of sugar (see my earlier experiment with pudding). No, it wasn't sweet at all, but it was very chocolately. (Next time I may try the milk ones, as they have more sugar.)
The chocolate is actually vegan however it's processed in a facility that also handles milk products, so may contain traces of dairy.
The standard Christmas stocking treat, I would guess of all of them, is the Florida Tropic Milk Chocolate Orange.
What I thought was fun about this one when I opened up the wrapper, besides the lovely look of the puzzle of slices, was how it's put together. I've had oranges before that are made of slices that are then melted onto a plastic stem & disk thing. (I think that was the Droste brand ... can anyone confirm?) What this photo shows pretty simply is that the slices are packed into a ball and then a small amount of molten chocolate is squeezed into the bottom to just hold everything together (you can see from the top dark orange photo that the chocolate anchor only extends about half of the way through the middle). Separating them from the sphere isn't hard at all.
The dairy scent is easily teased from the orange and sugar. There's a slight creamsicle vibe to the whole thing, maybe like dunking orange sherbet in hot chocolate. The texture is smooth for less expensive chocolate, but still a little fudgy and grainy for my liking. It's quite sweet as you can imagine for a milk chocolate. Still, it has a good cocoa vibe to go with the strange orange flavors which are both natural and artificial.
Though I have another half a dozen flavors to profile at some point, I decided to include the 70% Cacao here because it's such a basic and the only in the bunch that's not flavored or has any inclusions.
The wrapper is a matte toasty brown. One of the things I really enjoyed about all the oranges I had is how stunningly beautiful they are when opened. They way the slices are all stacked neatly then slightly tilted, like some sort of puzzle. From distance it's like a tightly tucked chocolate armadillo or pillbug.
As an unflavored product, it's the only one in the Florida Tropic line that gives me a chance to really taste the chocolate. They use real vanilla and no butterfat or other dairy extenders - so it's true dark chocolate. (So it also qualifies as all natural.)
The chocolate flavor is in the middle of all the profile notes: a hint of roasted coffee, a touch of tangy raisin, a little whiff of woodsy smoke and a comforting texture that's both creamy, not too sweet and a slightly dry finish. There's a small grit to it from time to time, something I noticed in the dark flavored orange so may just be the style for this brand.
Just a correction, I reported before that I believed that the Trader Joe's version was by Ferrara. It's now quite clear that they're actually made by SweetWorks. There's really not that much difference between them. The biggest is that the standard Florida Tropic is 18 slices and 5.3 ounces and the Trader Joe's is 6.17 ounces and 20 slices. But besides the size, it's the same product, right down to the sticker on the top and the color of the foil. Just the box is different (and I rather prefer the Trader Joe's whimsy.)
I'm quite please so far with the Florida Tropic oranges. Overall the product design is great and their attention to detail is quite good. The flavor variety is large, besides those covered here: Key Lime (Milk), Almond (Milk), Peppermint Crunch (Milk), Pina Colada (Milk), Raspbery (Milk) and Toffee Crunch (Milk). The price is good and the fact that they're made in the USA may be of comfort to some folks instead of the Terry's Chocolate Oranges which are made in Poland by Kraft.
So while I'm not a fan of Sixlets, which are also made by SweetWorks, the orange line shows that they can do really cost effective, attractive and crowd pleasing candy. (Not that Sixlets aren't cute as buttons.)

Ferrara Chocolate Oranges
Ferrara's expansion into the midscale chocolate market has been quick. The first items I spotted are their Belgian chocolate bars, conceived to compete with Kraft's Toblerone products. For the holidays this year they have three initial offerings of chocolate oranges in the style of Terry's Chocolate Orange.
They come in the standard Milk Chocolate Orange and Dark Chocolate Orange as well as the Milk Chocolate Toffee Crunch Orange. They're well priced at $2.50 each, and I'm guessing that deeper discounts will be found with holiday sales. I found my set at Walgreen's, but I've also seen them at CVS.
The package is pretty, though not ornate or really much of a standout. The gold foil is a nice touch and the color-coding of the base of the boxes makes it easy to spot the flavor you might be looking for. They're quite hefty, clocking in at 6.17 ounces (a Terry's orange is 6.0).
On the front of the box it says that it's a natural orange flavor so I was hoping the product was all natural, but I found reading the ingredients that it also contains vanillin (an artificial vanilla flavor).
I've always found Terry's Chocolate Orange to be very sweet and I'm grateful that the sections are small because I'm rarely able to eat more than one or two at a sitting. I was hoping the Ferrara would be a little richer.
I started with the Ferrara Dark Chocolate Orange because I'd already had the plain Milk Chocolate from Ferrara and was very eager to try their dark. The bronzy orange foil has a sticker that exalts me to Burst then Enjoy (compared to Terry's which is Whack and Unwrap). Inside the foil is a sectioned sphere.
The first difference I noticed is that it's shiny and smooth. Terry's have an orange rind texture. The second thing I noticed was different from a Terry's was how solidly crafted this American orange is. When they say Burst, they don't give me much indication of how much pressure to apply. So it took three fairly substantial smacks on a flat and firm surface to adequately dismantle the thing. (There's a very good reason there are no photos of the Milk Chocolate Orange sections in this review as my ability to duplicate my success on the dark one was, well, unsuccessful.)
Each section is nicely molded and has a pretty orange peel and pulp design along with a version of the F crest in the center. The other side is blank.
It smells mostly sweet and with a light touch of orange. I didn't get a lot of cocoa-vibe even from the broken orange. The snap is good, in fact the whole thing is very nicely tempered. It's immediately sweet and has a strong orange essence to it. The chocolate is a little chalky and dry at the same time it has a cool and immediate melt. The dark chocolate actually has whole milk powder and milk fat in it, so it's hardly dark chocolate though not milky enough to call it dairy milk chocolate.
For me it was simply too sweet and without some sort of milk flavors or intense cocoa notes, it just bored me. It's attractive to look at and fun to share, but I would probably be disappointed if I got this in my stocking year after year.

The Milk Chocolate Orange is probably the classic of the bunch. It's handsome and just as expertly made as the dark version (though I was not able to expertly disassemble it - see the milk toffee version below for a reasonable facsimile of what yours would probably look like).
The orange scent from this version was sweet and had a slight milky and caramel note to it. I was looking forward to this one because I rather liked the milk chocolate in the Belgian chocolate bar. However, after eating a few slices, it didn't seem quite the same. It's not quite as creamy or milky, though sometimes tempering and flavors can create changes. But I also noted on the box that it didn't say anywhere that it was made from Belgian chocolate, so maybe it's not the same at all. (I'd consult the wrapper for the Belgian chocolate bar but I ended up using the box as an impromptu knife sheath on Thanksgiving). My guess is that the Belgian stuff was more expensive and those bars were 3.5 ounces ... this is over 6 ounces for only 50 cents more.
There's a slight grain to it as it melts and I'm really missing the chocolate flavors. Still, I found it much more munchable than the dark version.
Rating: 6 out of 10
The final variety is orange shaped but not orange flavored. The Milk Chocolate Toffee Crunch is a milk chocolate studded with toffee bits. Reading through the ingredients it's clear that they're really toffee (made with butter and not cheap butterscotch hard candies. It looks pretty much like the milk chocolate one.
It has a slight cereal scent to it in addition to the milky sweet smell. It's sweet and slightly grainy with a strong milky component. There are little chips of toffee with a good salty and buttery note. The chips, however, are very small, so there's no additional texture of crunching them, just the little salty texture change. As with the other varieties, it was so very sweet that I found that two slices were more than enough to give me a sore throat and craving for pretzels or plain almonds.

Nope, I was wrong. Turns out the Trader Joe's are made by SweetWorks who makes the Florida Tropic brand line. See more here.
Overall, I think the Ferrara products are nice quality and are certainly easy to find. I appreciate seeing a product like this that's American-made (so often fresher and cheaper because they don't have to import). They're also Kosher. They're not quite to my taste, but if I can't get folks at the office to eat these I'm going to try making them into a decadent orange & chocolate pudding.
Coming up soon, the other chocolate oranges from Florida Tropic (photos of the varieties here).

Christmas Dots
A couple of month ago I reviewed the set of trio of Dots candies for Halloween: Bat Dots, Candy Corn Dots & Ghost Dots. For Christmas Tootsie can only muster one holiday version: Christmas Dots.
Christmas Dots are red and green with white snow caps. So they're festive looking, but are they festive tasting? Well, they're Cherry and Lime flavored with Vanilla tops. Neither Cherry nor Lime have ever been considered a Christmas or even Winter flavor as far as I'm concerned (though I think vanilla is a nice touch).
The smell like vanilla. In fact, they smell an awful lot like the Candy Corn Dots, which I thought were more like vanilla pudding Dots (in a good way). These are like Jell-O and Cool Whip Dots in my two least favorite Jell-O flavors.
The lime is tangy and has a good zest note to it, but it also has a severely bitter component. The vanilla offsets it well, kind of like a lime creamsicle.
The cherry is very strong though not as much on the tart side of things, so it's quite sweet. It's also bitter, but in a more artificial coloring note than an actual natural citrus oil way. The vanilla balances this rather well, though I still didn't like them at all, I found eating the vanilla tops to be palatable enough.
It might have been fun to really mix it up with these with something like Spearmint and Cinnamon with Vanilla. As it is, these are pretty enough to eat, but prettier to just decorate with.
In an unrelated story (to Christmas candy), Tootsie and the Orthodox Union announced that Tootsie candies including Tootsie Rolls, Frooties and Dots will be Kosher, with items arriving on store shelves soon.

Long before Hershey's came out with Kissables, they had a product called Hershey-ets. They were introduced in 1954 and were pretty much direct competitors to M&Ms. They never quite took off so by 1978 the machinery for Hershey-ets was turned over to the Reese's Pieces project and Hershey-ets were only made seasonally.
My personal memories of these candy covered chocolate lentils are pretty vague. I know that I could get them at Hershey Park in little vending machines for a dime or quarter for a handful. (Not to be confused with the machines that dispensed duck food.) The only reliable time, for many years, to find Hershey-ets was around the holidays when they were sold in Christmas colors and found in bags in the baking aisle or in these cute little clear plastic canes.
Then the disappeared in 2006 with the introduction of Kissables (2005)... then Kissables were reformulated from their original candy-coated milk chocolate drops formula into candy-coating mockolate in 2008... then they were quietly discontinued in 2009. Earlier this year Hershey's announced a new product line called Pieces, which would add to the existing Reese's Pieces line three new products: York Peppermint Pattie Pieces, Almond Joy Pieces and Hershey's Special Dark Pieces. One item missing from that list was a classic milk chocolate version ... the Hershey-ets.
So I can't say I was surprised when I stumbled on a display of Hershey's Canes at Target a few weeks ago. They featured the Hershey's Canes I remembered from my childhood - a clear plastic tube filled with Hershey-ets (green & red) or Reese's Pieces (in white, green & red). They were only 99 cents so I picked up a few.
There's not much to say about the construction of them, as most Earthlings are familiar with this candy construction. Milk chocolate ovoid covered with a brightly colored sugar shell.
Are they just smashed Kissables or are they mini Hershey's Easter Milk Chocolate Eggs?
Kissables Original (2006) Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, nonfat milk, milk fat, lactose, soy lecithin, PGPR & artificial flavors), sugar, red #40, yellow #5, yellow #6, blue #1 & carnauba wax.
Hershey-ets (2009) Ingredients: Sugar, milk, cocoa butter, chocolate, contains 2% or less of artificial colors (yellow #5, red #40, blue #1), corn syrup, corn starch, modified food starch, resinous glaze, soy lecithin, carnauba wax, vanillin. (Manufactured on shared equipment with peanuts).
I don't have a wrapper for the classic Hershey's Eggs, but just by tasting these I'm going with a mini version of the Hershey's Eggs. What's weird is that there's no PGPR in there.
Finally, since they look and act like M&Ms, I also did a little one-to-one comparison. Hershey-ets are little bulkier, a little less tapered at the edges. The shell is also thicker, so there's more crunch.
M&Ms milk chocolate is sweet and tastes a bit like cocoa with a light peanut touch and milk. Not intense and the shell is like a light crust. They're very easy to eat, and keep eating though they never quite fill me up.
Hershey-ets milk chocolate is classic Hershey's tang. Honestly, sticking my nose in the little tube, it smelled like chevre, or at the very least, chocolate cheesecake. The tangy yogurt note cuts through the sweetness a bit, and the extra crunchy shell provides more than just melting protection. Still, they're every sweet and after a handful they gave me a sore throat. I enjoy the fact that they're so different from M&Ms, but they're not quite the jumbo pop of the Easter version that I prefer which has more shell and more of an uninterrupted fudgy chocolate flavor and texture. I easily ate both tubes I had over two days.
Lately I've found that Hershey's chocolate has tasted a little rancid, a little more like burps than is considered polite for candy. I've been blaming it on PGPR, which I think either adds some sort of off flavor or allows the flavors to oxidize quicker. These don't seem to have that problem. The flavor, though tangy with that slightly caramelized milk note is still there, but either sealing them in the little airtight candy shell or the lack of PGPR gives me back my classic Hershey's chocolate.
Though I don't remember them, they were once available in single serve packages just like M&Ms, Candy Wrapper Archive has an image of them from the 60s. Retro Commercials remembers when Hershey-ets were sold by the bucket.

Russell Stover Santas
Russell Stover has a large assortment of holiday treats in Santa-themed packaging. What's nice about them is that they're always fresh and moderately priced (often on dramatic sale for three for a dollar but usually about 50 cents a piece). I picked up every variety I could find this year:
What I noticed first was that the packaging is inconsistent in its design. Sure they're all a mylar wrapper, but beyond that the Santas are different drawing styles with the Maple Cream, Strawberry Cream & Coconut Cream sporting the same Santa holding a gift aloft as he sits in a chimney. But The Peanut Butter Santa is more streamlined, the Marshmallow Santa has some freaky bright red cheeks and insanely short arms and finally the Marshmallow & Caramel Santa is in the style of the European Saint Nicolas complete with staff.
What I also found out is that the definition of "Santa Shaped" is pretty loose in Russell Stover's world. It's not quite as egg shaped, and maybe the tapering ends can be a feet/boots and a head. But really, it'd be best to just call these Christmas Lumps or Snow Clods.
The Peanut Butter Santa is pure simplicity: a peanut butter bar covered in milk chocolate. The shape of it is kind of figure-like. It's the smallest of the pack as well, clocking in at only .75 ounces. It smells nutty and sugary and a little bit like peanut butter cookies. The milk chocolate is quite slick and melts easily, it has a light cocoa flavor to it. Most of all the salty peanut butter center is grassy-tasting. It's a strange green flavor more like edamame than roasted peanuts.
It was tasty enough for me to finish it easily, but being small didn't hurt either. The center is moister and a bit oilier than the center of a Reese's Peanut Butter Tree (or Egg or Cup). This wasn't a bad feature, just different.
Rating: 7 out of 10
I thought perhaps I'd tried these before and looked up to find that I reviewed the Maple Cream Egg way back in 2006. But the Russell Stover Maple Cream Santa is actually different. While the Easter version is coated in dark chocolate, the Christmas version is Milk Chocolate.
The amorphous lump didn't remind me of Santa's silhouette in the slightest but the maple cream flavor is a bit more Christmassy than Easterish so kudos for that, Russell Stover.
It's been a while since I've had the dark chocolate version so I'll spare us all comparisons. What I can say is that this is ludicrously sweet. The milk chocolate is sugary and not terribly creamy and the center while moist and fluffy is also throat searingly cloying and sticky. The maple flavor was simply a flavor, not something that felt natural or integrated into the candy itself.
Rating: 5 out of 10
While the Strawberry Cream Santa is also milk chocolate like the Cream Egg, this one lacks the pretty little swirls and curls on the top. It does smell a little like berries, but mostly it smells like milky chocolate. It's quite sweet and has only a faint hint of strawberry and is rather similar to a Nestle Strawberry Qwik shake. I know it was really sweet, but I like the texture of the cream center that Russell Stover uses for both this one and the Maple Cream. It's rather like a marshmallow cream, quite smooth and fluffy and moist without being runny.

The Coconut Cream Santa is also unlike the Cream Egg in that it's milk chocolate, not dark chocolate. In this case as well, I think the sugar-laden milk chocolate is simply over the top. I like the coconut flake texture of the cream filling and the nice size of the piece, but the sugary quality of the chocolate with its grainy and fudgy melt is just too much. It's amazing what a difference dark chocolate can make, but it does.

Things were looking up when I found the Dark Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Santa. I didn't really expect this to be terribly different from the Easter Rabbit version, except that one was huge at two ounces and only in milk chocolate where I shopped.
This one was by far the most attractive of my Santa set, a nicely detailed figure of Santa Claus scratching his head. Unfortunately I smashed him somewhere along the way and his face was a little worse for it (or maybe he wasn't scratching his head, maybe he was holding his hand over his nose and cursing me).
The marshmallow is latexy and has a chewy pull. Not too sweet and with a faint whiff of vanilla flavoring.

The Marshmallow & Caramel Santa Covered in Milk Chocolate is the only other in the collection that estimates the shape of Santa Claus.
Of course this one looks like it could be a Mummy or Generic Figure for Unisex Bathroom Door.
It's smaller in dimensions from the Dark Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Santa, yet it's actually heavier, it's the same 1.25 ounces as the Cream Santas. I've had the Caramel and Marshmallow Pumpkin before and found it interesting.
This one seems to be more evenly balanced between the caramel and the marshmallow. It's dense for a marshmallow product, the marshmallow is fluffy and has a light hint of vanilla to it with a smooth and velvety melt. The caramel isn't runny nor quite chewy but has a good stringy pull to it.
It's lacking a punch like the See's Scotchmallow, but for 50 cents and in the shape of a clothes pin, well, I don't want to sound too ungrateful for a decent piece of candy especially since this one seems to have the proportions just right. I wish the caramel was a little more chewy, a little more salty, but still a fun piece.

Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Delights
It's that lovely time of year when Trader Joe's trots out oodles of holiday candies and treats.
I like to cruise the aisles and look at all the great new and returning items. This year my eyes lit on the Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Delights.
The box describes them as a crunchy hazelnut treat surrounded with praline, crispy wafer and milk chocolate. While I assumed that they are like Ferrero Rocher, the image on the box didn't quite show whether they were flat or round (maybe the wafer is just that, a little disc). The box is also rather deep, and though it holds 7.05 ounces, I wasn't sure how the items were packaged. Were they individually wrapped and just tossed in there? How many came in a box? Were they in a tray or just stacked up?
When I got the box home and opened it, most of my questions were answered.
Inside the trapezoidal box are two trays. Each tray is sealed in cellophane and has eight sections. (16 candies total in the box.) Each little spot holds a Hazelnut Delight. At this point I confirmed that there were a heck of a lot like a Ferrero Rocher. They're also made in Germany, which is one of the locations that Ferrero has manufacturing facilities.
The ingredients are impressive at first. The first item on the list is hazelnuts. After that it gets a little less enchanting. Ingredient #2 is sugar, which is absolutely expected in candy. #3 is vegetable oil (palm, rapeeseed and sunflower) and only after that do we get to the cocoa butter, wheat flour, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, nonfat dry milk and cocoa ... then a bunch more stuff including more oils.
The pieces are slightly larger than one bite. It's a lumpy, bumpy ball and most had a little drizzle of white chocolate across them. What's nice is that they're not individually wrapped in foil, so it smells amazing, like roasted hazelnuts and hot chocolate.
Biting into one, the construction will seem similar. It's a milk chocolate shell covering crushed hazelnuts stuck to a hollow wafer sphere. Inside is a chocolate and hazelnut paste ... somewhere in there is a whole hazelnut.
The amazing part though is the hazenuttiness. It's just packed with them. It's a sweet treat, but there's both the whole hazelnut at the center plus the crushed hazelnuts then that hazelnut paste in the middle. There must be the equivalent of three or four hazelnuts in there.
The chocolate coating is sweet and melts easily. The paste in the center is, well, pasty. It's sticky and has a good cocoa flavor but not much on the hazelnut side, not a problem there, because the whole hazelnut pretty much takes care of that at some point. (In the photo cross-section I obviously hadn't found it yet.) The wafer is crunchy and has a light caramelized sugar note to it, like good ice cream cones do. The crushed hazelnuts steal the show though, so crunchy and with such a distinctive roasted nut flavor I was quite enamored of these little delights.
The price is a bit steeper than Ferrero Rocher (which I've seen on sale at drug stores for less than 1/2 the price from time to time). But there are far more hazelnuts here and of course they were extremely fresh. I might buy them again as a hostess gift for someone I was certain is a hazel-nut. I think I'd prefer a dark chocolate version for myself.

Hershey's Kisses filled with Irish Creme
I love it when the Candy Blog community points me to something new. We have a little conversation going on in the Candy Blog Forums about the 2009 holiday candy offerings. One that ruffy mentioned was Hershey's Kisses Filled with Irish Creme. I found them at Target as well and I suspect since no one else has seen them anywhere else that they may be a Target exclusive this year.
Irish Cream is a combination of flavors and textures; it's usually heavy cream, whiskey and coffee. Kisses filled with Irish Creme are less of that. There's no actual whiskey in there, for starters. It's a molded chocolate shell filled with a sugar and oil paste with some milk products (nonfat milk and whey) and artificial flavoring. So maybe a more accurate name would be Kisses filled with Sweet Flavored Whey Paste.
While my confidence level in them was low, I was also plenty curious. The dark green bag and gold wrappers with green fireworks on them were certainly appealing.
The smell, when I pushed my face into the bag, is actually mildly alcoholic. I don't know how they did that, but it definitely has a bit of a whiskey note.
Out of the foil it's even more noticeable - more than just bourbon vanilla, this smells like strong stuff. The chocolate flavors of the molded shell aren't much. It's smooth enough, with a slight fudgy grain that's definitely candy-like. The center is a bit of a paste, thicker than the cordial creme in some of the Kisses. It's not quite grainy and rather like a fondant. The center is a little bit salty so it has an immediate difference from the chocolate shell. The whiskey flavors of woodsy alcohol are there along with a slightly warm and cozy background note.
The liquor flavor though has an odd medicinal quality, especially later on. It's like the after effects of Cepacol or some other throat anesthetic. Eating another one kind of gets rid of the benzocaine & menthol aftertaste by introducing the primary tastes of sugar, milk and whiskey flavored cheesecake.
I'm not blown away, but they are different than the last few flavors. But a true coffee flavored Kiss might be a nice change one of these days or an Egg Nog for the holidays.

Fannie May Pixie
I know some folks may have been worried that I wasn't going to give Fannie May another chance after the disappointing Mint Meltaway yesterday. Well, no worries, as I also found the Fannie May Pixie at Walgreen's on the same trip.
Again, it's a pricey piece of candy - at $1.39 for a 1.5 ounce candy billed as Crunchy pecans in smooth caramel, drenched in rich milk chocolate. But a careful shopper might notice that Pixies go for $22.99 per pound on the Fannie May website yet these individually wrapped pieces work out to $14.83 per pound. (But they're also available in dark chocolate on the website.)
Fannie May is famous for these turtle-like candies and I'm a huge fan of turtle-like candies. The ingredients look much better. There's real chocolate, 50 fewer calories and no trans fats make it into the listing. (There is some hydrogenated vegetable oil on the list, but it's very far down.)
Honestly, it's a huge turtle. Far larger than I'm accustomed to. The ratios are a bit off from smaller ones, as far as I can tell. There's a lot of caramel here and what seems like a lot of chocolate and not a lot of pecans.
The crunch of the pecans at the base is good, they're crisp and fresh without that trace of fibery chew or rancid oily taste that some drug store turtles can get. The chocolate is creamy, not terribly milky but has a good snap to it and stays on the caramel center well. The caramel has a nice buttery flavor. It's not quite a stiff chew but still has a good stringy pull and smoothness.
So while I thought it was a bit too large at first, I had no trouble finishing it (though I did it in two sittings).

What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but absence of self-criticism.Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Silence is sometimes the severest criticism.Charles Buxton
Let's define the word, what racist is - "A person who believes that their race to be superior to another's." I've never advocated that. And I challenge anyone to tell me one thing that I've said that is racist. Criticism is not racism. Accountability is not racism. And that's what I've tried to say over the years.Pauline Lee Hanson
Isolation in creative work is an onerous thing. Better to have negative criticism than nothing at all.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Despite your best efforts, you could not invent a better police force for literature than criticism and the authors own conscience.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Self-criticism sessions were held, but these produced more criticism than could usefully be absorbed or accomodated.Donald Barthelme
I am not a critic; to me criticism is so often nothing more than the eye garrulously denouncing the shape of the peephole that gives access to hidden treasure.Djuna Barnes
A state that suppresses all freedom of speech, and which by imposing the most terrible punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law.Kurt Huber
According to my principles, every master has his true and certain value. Praise and criticism cannot change any of that. Only the work itself praises and criticizes the master, and therefore I leave to everyone his own value.Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
Social criticism begins with grammar and the re-establishing of meanings.Octavio Paz
In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving.William Arthur Ward
Lovers of literature will look for the remains of the golden treasure in that shipwreck on the bottom of the sea of criticism.Josef Skvorecky
Either criticism is no good at all (a very defensible position) or else criticism means saying about an author the very things that would have made him jump out of his boots.Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Criticism, whatever may be its pretensions, never does more than to define the impression which is made upon it at a certain moment by a work wherein the writer himself noted the impression of the world which he received at a certain hour.James Branch Cabell
Much literary criticism comes from people for whom extreme specialization is a cover for either grave cerebral inadequacy or terminal laziness, the latter being a much cherished aspect of academic freedom.John Kenneth Galbraith
