So, my brother brought me a ton of Curly-Wurlys... I had asked for some British chocolate and that had been one of them but what I had in mind was like one or two, to satisfy my curiosity about this supposedly well-loved candy. Instead, he decides to bring back Curly-Wurlys in 5-packs. Like seven of them. Which means a lot of Curly-Wurlys!

I'm only working on the second batch, the first of which was helped by my brother and my sister's boyfriend but man, there are still a ton left! At first, I thought they were a bit of a hassle and a mess to eat seeing as you bit into them, they would shed their chocolate all over the floor (and when it's carpet, that's very very bad) but I've realized you should savor them slowly...Lick off the chocolate and then work at the caramel and it makes for a mess-free snack. And there's something nice about eating it slowly, tasting the chocolate before enjoying the caramel...

I'm not sure why people like these candies so much -- personally, the Picnic bars he brought back are yummier (and I wish I had 35 of them and not just the six he brought back) but they're not bad. And as a caramel lover, I can't complain about them, even if they're a really simple candy.

Try them in the fridge, they're nice cold! And you are right, Picnics are far superior.

Wouldn't that just make them hard?

It can, but there is a nice intermediate period where they are just more solid and toothsome!

Wow, they're nicely breakable when they're cold. Much less mess, even if they warm up pretty quickly.
