What can I say, I've always been a Almond Joy kind of guy.

If not Almond Joy, love that coconut, then always a Hersey 
with almonds as an alternative. 

Love Payday, but prefer a Pearson's Salted Nut Roll. Salty 
peanuts over gooey caramel, all wrapped around what I assume
is white nougat. Loved those as a kid.

One of the reason I never got into Mars bars, or at least, 
the American version...no nuts. I've always preferred Snickers
simply because they have peanuts in them. Got to have some
crunch along with all the gooey goodness.

Anyone tried a Jaffa Cake? Big controversy over whether these
are cake or cookies/biscuits. Apparently there is a significant
tax advantage if they are classified as cake. Though others 
think the are too small to be classifies as such, and think 
that they should have to pay the 'cookie tax'.

I think a big long court proceeding finally ruled them to be
Cake, so no 'cookie tax' on them.

Wouldn't mind trying a Jammie Dodgers either, but can't find them
around here.
