I received my box of Cadbury chocolates from BritishDelights.com today which I enthusiastically ordered last week. And what better way to celebrate the Saints win this weekend than with a Curly Wurly bar. While checking out nostalgic candy I found on Oldtimecandy.com that there was a replacement for the Marathon bar which was one of my favorites as a child. The thick caramel bar covered with chocolate was amazing. Even the red wrapper with a ruler was one of a kind. I think one of John Wayne's kids came out on the commercials which claimed it lasted a long, long time.
