Tue 7/1/2008 7:26a | Okay...now I'm hungry. :)
I think I'll put on "Willy Wonka" and kick back with some chocolate (of any variety!)

My favorite is Sees Rum Nougat.
Here's something to drool over...

Tue 7/1/2008 8:45a | Mmmm, great brownie, Walter Elias! Nothing like a breakfast brownie!
Violet crunchie? Never heard of it. Makes me think of Jennifer Garner's daughter...
Anybody heard of Walnetto's? I love them dearly, and they're never anywhere I want to be, unlike Visa. :( |

Tue 7/1/2008 9:37a | "Walnetto - Candy favorite of Tyrone, a dirty old man (Arte Johnson) with overcoat and cane which he offered to Gladys Ormphby (Ruth Buzzi), a frumpy old woman with a hair net seen on segments of the comedy variety show ROWAN AND MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN/NBC/1968-73. Sitting on a park bench, Tyrone asked in a gruff, gravelly voice "Want a Walnetto?" His reward?: being smacked over the head with a purse."
"The Walnetto is a delicious chocolate covered chewy caramel filled with California walnuts popular since 1920 and sold 5 pieces to the bar in the 1950s and 1960s. You can still buy them today from The Vermont Country Store." |
