my canadian friend also brought with her an assortment of local candy, since she knows what a weirdo i am. so far, most of it has remained untouched (!) but i did try these:



the caramilk deluxe comes in individual portions, like a mass-market truffle or bonbon. each is filled with smooth, flowy caramel (right up my alley!) and a curious darker chocolate filling that has a bit of chew to it. the flavors all come together so you can't really tell any one ingredient from anything else except by texture. overall, i wish the caramel had a little more OOMPH, either from burnt sugar or perhaps salt. still, i enjoyed it and ate 'em all.



assorted walker's toffees... i only tried "nutty brazil," which is a soft chewy toffee with shards of brazil nuts mixed in, and "nonsuch liquorice," which is (as the name suggests) a black licorice toffee. the normal walker's toffees are good, enough chew to provide some substance but not dangerous to dental work. unfortunately i LOATHE the flavor of black licorice so i threw this one out after just a bite, but i'm sure someone somewhere would enjoy these :)
