Tonks:
Yes, these are chocolate covered. Maybe I will try some next time. This time I got a candy bar called "Yorkie". Very good. BUT.. there was a big sign on it that said "NOT FOR GIRLS", and an outline of a female with skirt and a circle with a line through it, meaning barred from use by GIRLS. What is this, Geoff!!!? Are the candy dealers in the UK discriminating against women?? These should NOT be sold in the US... we should give them a $500.00 fine and 5 years in Askaban for discrimination!! It was good chocolate, but I was a bit dizzy after.. maybe it has more theobromine than most chocolate. Migraine problem. But it doesn't keep me from eating chocolate, one of the main food groups.

Tonks:
Huh?? How can that be??  

I also got some cookies that tasted much better than I thought they would. Had little currents in them. I don't even know what a current is. Very nice, too bad I was driving at the time and didn't have any hot tea. Ah... maybe that is how they have accidents, out driving while eating them perhaps?
