The ones that are the texture of the inside of a jelly bean, but with granulated sugar on the outside instead of a hard shell?  They have a satisfying 'bite' to them.  :)

Yes those are them! Why I want them so bad right now beats me, but I've been craving them all week.

*sheepish*  I did when I was a kid.  If I saw them now, just looking at them I would find them ick.  But I imagine if I steeled myself and managed to eat one, I'd end up eating more.  They're weird, but still... they have something.  It's a texture thing.

I'm sure I have eaten them but I can't even remember what they would taste like.

I don't remember the last time I ate one, but for some reason, I remember the details of them.  They're ... hm... difficult to describe.  They remind me of a softer version of the horrible "marshmallows" from Lucky Charms.  At least, flavor-wise.  Texture-wise, they're similar to the horrible marshmallows, after they've soaked in milk and are no longer that weird chalky-crunchy texture.

I thought you guys were talking about one of my favourites, candies orange peel.  In Bruge, I got some that had been dipped in dark chocolate

Can you describe circus peanuts better than I have?  I don't even know the words for the texture.  It's not foamy, not spongey, not chewy, not hard, ... I know what it isn't, but I don't know what it is.

Yay parcel!

Hmmm, how can you possibly describe circus peanuts??? I'm at a loss for how to do any better than you have. I can't handle more than one or two, but.....there really is just something about them..

Yes!  I can't explain it.  But I don't hate them.  I don't go out of my way to get them, either.  Best left alone, really.

I've got something coming from Target to put in the package when it makes it to me.

Well, we did see Eh's bird feeder.  We're still waiting on larrabee's technical difficulties to get sorted out.

But tomorrow you can show us your pick, hopefully!  I miss the good ol' days of a couple of weeks ago, when I knew everything in the box.  :P
