I've received them, but am not all that fond of them. Doesn't stop me
from eating them, though. I don't think I've ever paid money for them.
I like m&ms once in a while. And milk chocolate with nuts all the time.
Oink, oink.

Thanks. Borders is next door to the Lands' End Inlet -- 7 miles away.
:-) I dasn't get involved with the chocolate squares. I'm a
compulsive eater and an impulsive shopper. ;-) I'm set for next
year's Christmas gift baskets/boxes/bags having done serious damage at
Walgreen's (a couple of them) last week. The Widow Dorothy and I went
out to see what we could see. Seventy-five percent off was good. I
spent $50 total.
