Favorite store-bought treats: cookies, wafers, chocolates, candies...

Lindt and Frey dark chocolates—plus that one from the Italian maker, Novi
Dukat Chocolate Mousse
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Honestly, Novi chocolates are top-tier. Better than Lindt, really, and their hazelnut spread is just phenomenal... once you've had it, Nutella just tastes like overpriced, sugary grease.🙂

Splendid. 😍
However, Eldorado was even superior; ah, those were the days. 😢
😁

🙂 For the new chocolates!

I haven't had the chance to try those hazelnut ones yet, but now... I definitely want to...

I didn't quite catch that—who actually makes this spread, and where can I track it down to buy some?

It’s an Italian brand, "Novi"—not sure if you can find it locally, maybe at a Kroger or something 🤔 , but I usually just grab mine when I'm heading over to Trieste

....Ugh, true enough.....that one with the green jelly inside......🙂 ...personally, I still prefer the cubes, but if you say it was good, fine, I get it......😍 ....I used to beg for those every single day back in school.....😍

I tend to steer clear of buying stuff like this—mostly because my mom always ends up polishing us off...

I just tried the Dorina Bubble, that bubbly chocolate, and honestly? It’s killer.
I ended up grabbing it because it was on sale, though I was pretty skeptical at first since that similar one from Milka was kind of a letdown.

Man, I’m basically destroying my whole diet right now. I'm out here devouring the entire animal kingdom just because I was feeling affectionate toward my kid, lol. And honestly, since everything sweet is totally off-limits for me lately—yeah, I started this diet today and I'm skipping dinner too, so don't even get me started—this thread might actually be my best bet. Maybe just reading this will distract me from all the sugar I'm craving.

🤣
Look, I'm not trying to lecture anyone here—honestly, kika 😍 —but you can't go wrong with the classics, like Milka hazelnut chocolate or a Raffaello... they're just solid choices, really.

When we stop by Kiki's, which of these newer versions actually lives up to that original, one and only Kiki flavor we all remember?
I’ve gone through several different varieties, and honestly, I feel like I’ve tried just about everything they have on the shelves, yet I still can't seem to track down that classic Kiki taste...😢

Facts. My mom and I were literally just talking about this the other day while standing in front of the candy aisle at Walmart—everything is so colorful now, all these different wrappers and endless flavors, and you can't even tell which one is actually the classic you grew up with.🤷

To stay on topic though, here are a few of my go-tos (don't ask for more, I don't have all day): Munchmallow, basically anything Ferrero, that Frey coffee chocolate, and M&m's with peanuts. Also, if we're talking specialty shops like La Chocolate, my latest obsession is definitely Leonidas at West Gate!!👍🙏 It’s the same vibe—you can grab individual Belgian pralines for like $1.50 $10 a pop, but honestly, I haven't had anything this good in ages. We grabbed some raspberry cream wrapped in dark chocolate, Irish coffee truffles, nougat pralines, and some kind of coffee mousse ones... drooling just thinking about it.

They've got: Raffaello, Kinder chocolate, Manner hazelnut wafers, Pudiss Campina, Jaffa biscuits, and milk chocolate.😁

Ulker Tempo cookies; absolutely delicious 😍

After Eight mint chocolates; mmmmmmmmmm, truly beyond words 😍

Ferrero Rondnoir is actually the only recent candy I've enjoyed

Ulker Tutku cookies.
Domina and Speculaas from Lidl.😍

...so, we were all chatting about different kinds of cookies at the office the other day... I tried to describe this one specific cookie to everyone, but honestly, nobody had a clue what I was talking about...🤷
...I can't for the life of me remember who makes them or even what they're called... I feel like you barely see them on the shelves at Walmart anymore...
...they're shaped like little half-circles (kind of like a crescent), and the dough itself is swirled with chocolate and plain dough (so they have this marbled look)... they don't have any kind of icing or coating on top either...
..man, it's driving me absolutely crazy, I seriously can't stop thinking about it...😠

Quick question—where can I find some real American DOnuts in Slavonia? Like, actual donuts with the hole in the middle, just like they have in The Simpsons?

All I know is they have them at the Osijek McDonald's, but man, those things are tiny and way too pricey...

Domina Cubes
