ROAD TRIP!
My boss just got back from Canada and brought me back my favourite (note Canadian spelling) candy bar that you can't get in the states, the Cadbury Wunderbar. There really is no way to describe the goodness that is the Wunderbar. It is basically creamy Cadbury chocolate (which is not the same as the Cadbury chocolate sold here) covering peanut butter and caramel. And now that I have had a taste of it I want more! Canada is only a short drive up 1-15 through Idaho. Who's In? I am thinking that I will be needing boxes and boxes.
*******UPDATE*******
This past June I took this road trip to Canada. While there I stocked up on Wunderbar's and Canadian Kit Kats, well I thought I stocked up. I am now down to my last Kit Kat and a few lone Wunderbar's. I have found a store here locally that sells Wunderbars but I am in still in search of the Kit Kats. I may have to take another trip to the Deep North to get some!
