twix, yes.  they're everywhere.

reese's cups- less common, but I've seen them at Woolworth's.

skittles- yes, i think.

The others- haven't seen them at all over here, but I'm sure there are reasonable substitutes.

No reasonable substitutes for Twizzlers.  The office mates are always so happy when I bring them in as treats back from my trips to the US.  Definitely stock up.

I cant justify paying that much money at cybercandy...... £16 for 24 cans of mountain dew?? thats $32! and £6 ($12) for a box of lucky charms?  ::)

I cant help it..I have to covert it into $ and I refuse to spend that much lol

I went to the cybercandy store and while there was a lot there, I just couldn't justify the prices either.  It seems much easier to just get it from the US when you're there or through care packages.

I go once in a while as a special treat.  :)  I don't go back to the US or get care packages so it's worth it for me.  I don't go crazy though.

My nephew gave me some Skittles last month back in Canada... and they were amazing!  Very sour.  I bought a bag of sour ones here, though, and they weren't the same at all.

I did the same thing - sour ones here are so disappointing.
