Peanut M&Ms. I can gobble 'em up like I'm eating popcorn. Reese's Cups are really good too.

Chocolate anything, as long as it isn't adulterated with soft fillings.

I like my Coffee Crisp :wink: Other than that KitKat, winegums, Crispy Crunch, Jr Mints, Aero and many more. Special treats arrive twice a year, when a box full of assorted chocolates arrives from Germany. Yum!

According to mars.com, Mars bars are still avaliable in the US. And I would expect that they will always and forever be, since they are the flagship product of Mars Inc. Perhaps there's just something wonky going on in your area. Like maybe the vendors have gone insane.

I used Froogle (Google's search engine for purchasing), searched for "Mars bars" and the first hit was "Mars Bars from England".

According to candyfavorites.com
Quote:
Snickers Almond Bar
Manufactured by M&M / Mars

This great tasting product is the replacement for the classic Mars Bar which was discontinued in 2002

You can still buy Mars in Belgium and the Netherlands as far as I know.

There are many differences between countries. For years you could easily buy Cherry Coke in the Netherlands, though not in Belgium.

I had a Snickers with almonds with lunch and it tasted just like a Mars bar to me. I can live with that.

I wanted the Mars bars to give during a Mars presentation. I don't want the audience snickering!
